The Dexter-Russell P94804 Basics is a 10-inch scalloped bread knife with a stain-free DEXSTEEL blade and a textured white polypropylene handle. The 10-inch length lets you draw through a full sourdough boule or a long ciabatta in a single stroke, and the deep scallops bite cleanly through crust without crushing the open crumb underneath.
It earns its place at a bread board for daily slicing – sourdough, ciabatta, baguettes, sandwich loaves – and pulls double duty on tomatoes, melons, and citrus where a scalloped edge handles tough skin around soft flesh. The non-slip handle stays grippy when fingers are wet or oily, and the stain-free blade resists corrosion through dishwasher cycles.
Forged in Southbridge, Massachusetts by Dexter-Russell, the oldest American cutlery maker, in continuous operation since 1818. The Basics line is built for daily home use at a price that works for a starter kitchen or a second knife for a family member.
