Dexter-Russell 12" Scalloped Slicer, S140-12SC-PCP, SANI-SAFE Series

The perfect slicing knife for sourdough bread, brisket, or ever your thumb - as I experienced once! This is scalloped, not serrated, so cuts are super clean and effortless. When I sliced into my thumb and nail, it didn't even hurt because it was such a clean cut. I give this 1.5 thumbs up! Note: no actual thumbs were lost, just sliced a good bit.

Although this knife is advertised for carving meat, it works very well for cutting bread. Already had one of these by the same company, handed down to me by my mother. Purcahsed this one for my girlfriend, but it was TOO sharp for her, so we traded. I keep all my knives sharp, and this one arrived perfectly honed.

I bought this to replace a knockoff made by Update that I bought eight years ago, the difference in sharpness and thinness is palpable. This is a quality knife. Adding it to my other Sani-Safe knives.

Best tool tool to cut foam in a straight line, divide cake sheats, and slicing artisanal bread loafs. The combination of length and seemingly everlasting sharpness. I used my first one for 8+ years before someone liked it so much that they disregarded the boundaries of personal property.I own a 10" Victorinox and 10" Henkel slicer but the 2 extra inches are surprisingly helpful.

I bought this knife specifically to slice bbq brisket and it doesn't disappoint. Razor sharp and slides through beef like butter. Very satisfied.

I bought this looking for a brisket knife with a scalloped/serrated edge, which I favor for getting through the bark of a slow-smoked brisket. For most other big proteins/roasts, I prefer the Victorinox Fibrox 12” with the granton edge, which is a terrific knife at a great price. In fact, I bought the serrated version of that knife accordingly, but ended up unhappy with it (see separate review). This Dexter-Russell is recommended by Aaron Franklin, who knows a thing or two about slicing briskets. That being said, this knife is “okay.” It is sharp but quite light with a plastic handle, which will likely be slippery when your hands are full of brisket grease/tallow. It’s a decent value and will get the job done. I’m sure it’s not in the same league as the Wusthof serrated brisket slicer, which goes for $150.

Can’t go wrong with this buying this

Finallygot the right one. The 3rd time ordering got the correct knife. I recommend buying from restaurant supply. 2 others sent me the Dexter's basics knife trying to pawn the cheap one off on me instead of the real one. The knife blade should read sani safe and made in USA. If it doesn't send it back. Just be careful when buying this knife you receive the correct one.
