Dexter-Russell Basics P94804B 10″ Scalloped Slicer/Bread Knife is a 10-inch scalloped slicer/bread knife (P94804B) from the Basics line — high-carbon stainless blade with a black polypropylene handle, NSF-certified for commercial use. Dexter blades are forged from high-carbon stainless or DEXSTEEL alloy and individually ground on the bevel — meaning each blade gets a final sharpening pass by hand rather than coming off a stamping machine. The NSF certification on commercial models tracks the food-safe handle materials and ease-of-cleaning standard.
This works for slicing crusty bread, sourdough, ham, roast turkey, and tomatoes — long blade lets you slice in one sweep without the saw-back-and-forth that crushes soft crumb. Dexter-Russell knives are the trade-default in American foodservice — diners, butcher shops, fish markets, pizzerias, bakeries, and commercial kitchens have run them for generations. The blades resharpen well, the handles don’t loosen, and the steel holds an edge through restaurant-volume use.
Dexter-Russell has manufactured commercial cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818 — the oldest continuous American cutlery manufacturer. The catalog covers SANI-SAFE plastic-handle commercial knives, Traditional rosewood-handle chef knives, Basics, V-Lo, iCut-PRO, and specialty profiles (pizza cutters, fillet knives, bread slicers, dough scrapers, insulation knives, hamburger turners). Made in USA.
