TRADITION AND QUALITY MEET DESIGN
The year 1905 was one of radical change and technical progress. It was precisely during these exciting times that the Swabian knife manufacturer Friedr. Dick scrutinised the knife designs that had been common up to that time. Knife handles had always been attached to the forged blade with 3 rivets. This meant that the knives of many knife manufacturers were identical down to the last detail. Friedr. Dick developed a unique series of knives that clearly stood out from all previous designs. 


INNOVATIVE DESIGN
Friedr. Dick already had an eye for beautiful design in 1905 when it developed a knife series with solid collars. These replaced the round rivets that had been known and in use until then. Unfortunately, this early 20th century design has fallen into oblivion, but it experienced a revival in 2010. All knives in the 1905 series have a distinctive handle. Steel rings alternate with the high-quality and resistant plastic without gaps, making the handle a haptic as well as a visual experience. The F. DICK embossing on the knife blade completes the classically modern design of the series.


SHARP BLADE
Yet the knives in the 1905 series can do more than just look beautiful. They also have very sharp quality features: The high-end chrome steel XCrMoV15 keeps your blade sharp for a long time. This edge retention supports you in your daily use. The blade is honed twice and is therefore particularly sharp.


SAFETY
Safety is also taken care of. A half bolster finger guard protects your fingers, but you can also easily resharpen the cutting edge completely. In the 1905 series, many classic but also special knife shapes are available, leaving nothing to be desired.

KNIFE CARE
All F. DICK knives deserve special care and attention when it comes to maintenance. Proper knife care is crucial. Knives that are forged or have a wooden handle should never be cleaned in the dishwasher. Knives with plastic handles are completely dishwasher safe; however cleaning in a dishwasher is much more aggressive than washing by hand.

The use of highly concentrated detergents, leaving the knives in hot steam for a long time and also the presence of certain food residues can lead to pitting on the blades or even corrosion. We recommend clean the knife by hand with a soft cloth and a mild alkaline detergent. Wipe your knife after cleaning to ensure that tit is thoroughly dry – this will prevent any pitting on the blade. You can occasionally maintain knives with wooden handles with food-safe oils (e.g. olive oil). The oil makes the handle nice and smooth and prevents shrinkage and cracks.


PROFESSIONAL KNIFE STORAGE
For your safety and to protect the cutting edges of the blades, we recommend that you store the knives in a suitable knife block or on a magnetic rail. When buying a knife block, make sure you buy one with enough space and horizontal slots to protect the knife blades. We recommend our own blade guard for storage in a drawer - Edge Guard. or alternatively, dimensionally accurate compartments built into the drawer.

KNIFE BLOCK FOR KNIVES

HOW DO KNIVES STAY SHARP FOR A LONG TIME?
Knives stay sharp for a long time if they are only used for their intended purpose. The knives should only be used for cutting and not chopping.
Bones or the like should therefore only be cut with a cleaver.


WOODEN OR PLASTIC CUTTING BASES
Hard surfaces such as stone (e.g. marble) or glass should not be used as a base, as they quickly blunt the knives.

In practical terms, this means more consistent slices with less pressure, especially in fast-paced prep environments. The compact 10 cm blade also provides excellent maneuverability for detail work, making it a dependable secondary knife on the line. Within professional kitchens, this type of utility knife often becomes a go-to tool for repetitive, high-frequency tasks where efficiency and consistency matter.

Q: Who should use the Friedr. Dick 1905 Series Serrated Utility Knife?

A: This knife is ideal for chefs, butchers, deli staff, and serious home cooks who need reliable performance for fine prep and slicing tasks.

Q: Can the Friedr. Dick 1905 Series Serrated Utility Knife handle delicate produce like tomatoes or citrus?

A: Yes, it is specifically designed to cut delicate produce cleanly without crushing or tearing. The serrated blade edge grips the skin and initiates the cut with minimal downward force. This is especially valuable for tomatoes, citrus, and other soft interiors with firm exteriors, where maintaining structure and visual appeal is critical.

For chefs and foodservice teams, this means dependable performance with minimal maintenance interruptions.

Q: How sharp and effective is the serrated edge on this knife?

A: The serrated edge delivers long-lasting cutting performance with minimal need for frequent sharpening.

This makes the knife particularly efficient for repetitive slicing tasks where consistent results are required over time. In practical terms, operators benefit from reduced downtime and consistent cutting quality across shifts.

Q: What kind of cutting results should users expect from this knife?

A: Users can expect clean, uniform slices with minimal tearing or compression. The blade geometry and serration pattern are engineered to maintain control while reducing drag. This ensures that soft or delicate items retain their structure, while firmer items are cut efficiently without slipping. For foodservice operations, this consistency supports both presentation standards and portion control.
