The Dexter-Russell Basics P94804B 10" scalloped slicer has a black polypropylene handle and a high-carbon steel, hollow ground blade with a scalloped edge and can be used to slice bread or other foods. The blade is made of high-carbon steel, which is harder than low-carbon steel and resists corrosion, stains, and wear to maintain its edge. The blade is hollow ground with a concave, beveled edge for sharpness. Its scalloped edge helps the knife cut through foods with a hard exterior, such as crusty bread or tomatoes. The handle is made of polypropylene, which resists impacts and wear, can be wiped clean, and is textured to help prevent slipping. A finger guard helps keep the user's fingers safely away from the blade. The knife measures 15" long overall, with a 10" blade and a 5" handle. This product meets National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 2 for use in food handling and processing.Dexter-Russell manufactures cutlery and related accessories.
