A spreader is not a knife with a dull edge — the blade is deliberately blunt and slightly flexible so it can be pressed flat against soft bread and dragged without cutting in. This one is 3-1/2 inches of stainless steel set in a textured Sani-Safe handle.
It lives on a sandwich station: mayonnaise across a slice, butter onto a roll, cream cheese onto a bagel, mustard spread thin enough to reach the edges. The short blade suits working inside a roll rather than across a full loaf.
Dexter-Russell has been making foodservice cutlery and tools in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818.
