Professional Bread Knife
The Dexter-Russell 31605B is a 12-inch scalloped bread knife built for commercial kitchens and serious home bakers. Its NSF certification and sanitary polypropylene handle meet professional hygiene standards. The finger guard adds safety during repetitive slicing tasks. This single implement handles crusty loaves and delicate pastries with equal control.
Hand Wash Only
The steel blade is not dishwasher safe and must be washed by hand to maintain its edge and finish. The black and white polypropylene handle resists moisture and cleaning chemicals in normal breakroom use. No electrical components or moving parts generate heat or noise during operation. The 17-inch overall length provides leverage without requiring excessive force.
12-Inch Scalloped Blade
The 12-inch scalloped steel blade determines whether this knife suits your slicing volume and loaf size. Shorter blades struggle with wide artisan boules while longer blades reduce manoeuvrability on smaller bench space. Buyers who need a serrated utility knife for tomatoes or a straight-edge carver should choose a different tool. The fixed blade length cannot be adjusted.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Dexter-Russell 31605B bread knife, and what step do people get wrong?
No installation is required; the knife arrives fully assembled with the 12 in scalloped blade permanently fixed to the 5 in sanitary polypropylene handle, so the only mistake is trying to disassemble it.
What maintenance or replacement will the Dexter-Russell 31605B bread knife need later?
Hand-wash only — the supplier marks it not dishwasher safe — and resharpen the scalloped edge when slicing performance drops; the NSF-certified steel blade and polypropylene handle are built for long service.
What limit shows up first on the Dexter-Russell 31605B bread knife under sustained use?
The scalloped steel edge dulls before the sanitary polypropylene handle or the finger guard wear out, so periodic sharpening is the first maintenance trigger.
