Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 10-inch Scalloped Chef's Knife
A scalloped edge does what a plain chef’s knife struggles with. It grips the waxy skin of a pineapple, the hard rind of a watermelon and the crust of a loaf of bread without sliding. Dexter-Russell built the Sani-Safe S145-10SC for larger or tougher foods, and its 10-inch blade gets through them without crushing the soft interior.The scallops also hold an edge well between sharpenings, a practical advantage in a busy kitchen where a dull knife slows prep. It still chops and dices like a standard chef’s knife, so it can serve as the single large knife at a fruit or sandwich station. Kitchens that keep a separate bread knife may find this one covers both jobs. It also slices large deli meats and cold roasts, where a serrated bite works better than a smooth draw.
Scalloped or Plain?For fine mincing and clean vegetable cuts, the plain-edged Sani-Safe 10-inch Chef’s Knife is the better choice, with the same blade profile and handle. A shorter scalloped option is the Sani-Safe 6-inch Scalloped Cook’s Knife. Learn More$43.99 -
Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 6-inch Scalloped Cook's Knife
Dexter-Russell recommends this compact scalloped knife for hearty cuts of meat, tough-crusted breads and thick-rinded fruit, the foods that make a plain edge skid. The 6-inch Sani-Safe S145-6SC has a chef’s knife shape with a scalloped edge, so it can slice a baguette for a sandwich line or cut cleanly through citrus peel.Dexter describes the edge as scalloped, a rounded pattern that cuts cleanly and is easier to maintain than a sawtooth serration. The rounded scallops grip a ripe tomato skin without crushing the fruit, and they portion cooked meat without tearing the slices. The short blade fits a small station or a home kitchen drawer, and for sandwich shops and delis it pairs well with a larger chef’s knife.
Scalloped OptionsFor larger loaves and melons, the Sani-Safe 10-inch Scalloped Chef’s Knife gives more reach. For everyday dicing with a plain edge, choose the Sani-Safe 6-inch Chef’s Knife. Learn More$36.99 -
Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 10-inch Narrow Scalloped Roast Slicer
Barbecue bark and a heavily seasoned crust can drag on a plain slicer and tear the slice. The Sani-Safe S140N-10SC from Dexter-Russell puts finely scalloped points along a narrow 10-inch blade, and Dexter recommends it for roasts with bark, exterior seasoning or more challenging textures.Dexter built it for daily carving work at delis and carving stations, and it is a sound choice for a home smoker who wants clean slices of smoked brisket or pork shoulder. The narrow blade stays easy to steer around a shoulder blade or a rib, and it portions smoked sausage and pork belly cleanly for a barbecue plate. It draws more visits than any Dexter slicer on our site except the Connoisseur.
Narrow Slicers ComparedFor lean roasts without a crust, the Sani-Safe 10-inch Narrow Duo-Edge Roast Slicer releases thin slices cleanly. The Sani-Safe 12-inch Scalloped Roast Slicer adds reach for briskets and turkeys. Learn More$28.99 -
Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 12-inch Scalloped Roast Slicer
Dexter-Russell designed the Sani-Safe 12-inch scalloped roast slicer for carving large portions of turkey, ham or beef, and the long blade crosses a whole brisket or a prime rib in one stroke. The long scalloped points grip a seasoned crust and cut through it without shredding the meat beneath. In a professional kitchen, the scalloped tips keep their bite far longer than a straight edge when they repeatedly contact the cutting board.Dexter also makes this knife with blue, green, red and yellow handles for kitchens that color-code by protein, and the white version is the general-purpose choice. It suits banquet kitchens and barbecue caterers as well as the home cook who carves a holiday turkey.

Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 7-inch Scalloped Offset Bread Knife
Dexter-Russell’s Sani-Safe S163-7SC is a 7-inch scalloped offset knife built for sandwich lines and bakery counters. Dexter describes it for slicing meats, tough crusted breads, thick rinds and tough-skinned vegetables, and the offset blade keeps the fingers well away from the cut.Seven inches is a comfortable length for subs and rolls, and the sealed, sanitary handle suits kitchens that wash knives between tasks. Our favorite detail is how wide the blade is right beside the handle, which gives a secure hold to cooks who choke up on the knife or use a pinch grip. Dexter calls it an offset slicer, and it does the job of an offset bread knife at a compact size.

Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 3.5-inch Utility and Net Knife
This small Sani-Safe knife has two working lives. On a boat it is a net knife, its scalloped 3.5-inch edge sawing through tangled netting and line. In a kitchen it is a short scalloped utility knife that Dexter-Russell recommends for tough crusts, thick rinds and hard-skinned vegetables.The scalloped edge grips slick surfaces such as tomato skin and wet rope without skating. The handle is textured for wet hands and sealed to the blade, the sanitary Sani-Safe construction Dexter introduced for food service. It is one of the most visited Dexter utility knives on our site, bought by fishermen and home cooks alike. Aboard shrimp boats it is a favorite for deveining shrimp and gutting fish. Our previous listing called it serrated; Dexter describes the edge as scalloped. At 3.5 inches it also fits easily in a tackle box or a galley drawer, and the short blade gives close control when deveining shrimp.

Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe 3.5-inch Net Knife with Sheath
A net knife lives on a fishing boat for cutting through tangled netting and line. Dexter-Russell’s Sani-Safe utility and net knife has a 3.5-inch blade with a scalloped edge that, per Dexter, glides through nets, and Dexter lists line, bait and produce among its other jobs. Ashore it is just as versatile, for food preparation, as a produce knife and even as a box cutter. DEXSTEEL suits a scalloped edge well, since the steel is very tough and the scallops do not bend easily. Fishermen rely on it for net repair, and it is a favorite on shrimp boats for deveining shrimp and gutting fish. This version comes with a sheath, so it can be clipped within reach on deck and stowed safely between uses. The sheath is made in the USA, holds the knife with a very tight fit and clips to the belt, so the knife will not go overboard.
With or Without the Sheath?The same knife without a sheath is the Sani-Safe 3.5-inch Utility and Net Knife, a good spare for the galley or the kitchen. Learn More$15.99 -
