Eight inches of scalloped DEXSTEEL on the SofGrip handle. The blade is a straightforward sandwich slicer; the handle is the reason to pay for this version, because a cushioned grip changes how a hand feels after two hundred identical cuts.
Sandwich and sub counters are the natural home — the cut is the same every time, which is exactly the condition under which a hard handle starts to hurt. Anywhere the same motion repeats through a whole service, the grip matters more than the steel.
Dexter-Russell has made cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818 and remains the oldest American cutlery maker in business.
