The extra two inches over the S160-16 are not cosmetic — they are the difference between clearing a 20-inch pie in one stroke and having to start a second cut halfway across. A restarted cut is where crust tears and toppings shift, so the longer blade is what keeps a large pizza looking the way it came out of the oven.
This is a two-handed tool. The blade is stiff enough to take full body weight without flexing, and the twin polypropylene handles put your hands over the ends rather than the middle, so pressure lands evenly along the edge instead of bowing it.
Dexter-Russell has made cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818 and is the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the United States. The Sani-Safe line is its NSF-certified foodservice range, built around a textured polypropylene handle moulded to the tang so there is no seam for food to lodge in.
