Abstract: A multi-purpose blade for cutting and slicing a wide variety of food products. The blade has a pair of opposed side surfaces that come together to establish a cutting edge that extends along the length of the blade. The cutting edge is scalloped to create a series of arcuate-shaped spans that are connected by wear resistant surfaces, each of which extends a given distance along the cutting edge. One or more pointed cutting teeth are located inside the boundaries of each arcuate span.
