The Dexter-Russell 5-1/2 Inch Scalloped Utility Knife in Black is a mid-size kitchen knife in scalloped (serrated) grind, sized between a paring knife and a chef’s knife. The 5-1/2 inch length is the sandwich-and-sausage workhorse size, and the scalloped edge bites cleanly through tomato skin, crusty bread crust, and sausage casings without crushing the soft tissue underneath.
Earns drawer space as a daily prep knife for cutting sandwiches in half, slicing dinner rolls, halving bagels, and tackling produce that fights smooth-edged blades. The black handle reads as deliberate rather than utility-yellow.
Dexter-Russell has been forging cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818, the longest-running cutlery company in continuous operation in the United States. The Sani-Safe, Traditional, SofGrip, and V-Lo lines are workshop staples used in commercial kitchens and home cookware drawers across the country.
