F.DICK Sharpening steels

Ordering No.: F.DICK Sharpening steels

description: In the world, Friedr. Dick is also famous for the production of whetstones. No other company in the world produces so many different types of whetstones.

Dick is also the only manufacturer in the world that produces whetstones in the traditional way. Thanks to the latest hardening technologies, Dick has a strong, durable core and a surface that shows little wear and tear.

In our range you will find a range of sharpeners suitable for chefs, butchers and the home.

They differ in shape, length and coarseness (tensile strength).

In terms of shape, we distinguish between round and oval (lentils).

In the past, they were mainly made round, but nowadays oval-shaped sharpeners have gained more popularity, because the knife touches the oval-shaped sharpener with a larger surface area and is therefore sharper.

The important thing about the length of the whetstone is that it should always be longer than the knife you are sharpening.

We offer different lengths of whetstones.
We offer sharpeners in lengths of 24,25,28, the most common length is 30 cm and the longest is 35 cm.

According to the coarseness of the stroke we distinguish between coarse stroke, standard and fine stroke sharpeners.

The coarse-textured whetstones remove the most material. The knife is sharpened very quickly, but this sharpening should be followed by tightening of the blade with a fine-drawing sharpener, or by polishing with a puller to close the blade.

With a standard pull, there are whetstones that are the golden mean and therefore the most popular in the home.

With a gentle pull, there are sharpeners that sharpen the knife very gently, they take little material, but the knife needs to be sharpened more often.

Unique among F. Dick whetstones are the sapphire whetstones. They have little material removal. The fine surface with sapphire dust also gently polishes the blade. The cut is much cleaner and smoother.

Dick also makes combination whetstones, which are square and offer two strokes in one, e.g. standard with fine or fine with polishing.


The final distinction is the handles of the sharpeners, which are made from either metal, plastic (where there are many colours to choose from) or wood.

You will also find a guard on the handle of the sharpener to prevent the knife from slipping on your hand. In the decorated series, it is often metal and complements the wooden or inlaid handles that are part of the various anniversary series and are also decorative in the kitchen.

A good knife should not be missing in any kitchen, because only with a sharp knife is cooking a pleasure !

Shun professional chef’s knives are made from specific stainless damask steel with 32 layers. The core layer is made from VG MAX steel. This is an extremely hard (61±1 HRC, 1.0% carbon, 1.5% cobalt) and corrosion-resistant steel that gives the blade a sharpness that is second to none. The convex cut of the blade together with the manual honing of each Shun knife delivers an unrivalled sharpness that allows the knife to cut through even the toughest material. This sharpness together with the well-balanced weight of the knife makes for tireless work.

Each Shun knife gets its unique and individual character by refining the natural beauty of the damask grain. This way every Shun knife is unmistakable and unique – a piece of art, united by craftsmanship, technology and design. Inspired by the masterful art of Samurai swords the technique for manufacturing the finest chef’s knives enables the Shun series even to deliver knives with western blade shapes.

The production process of the Composite blades is based on a new technology in the aircraft construction sector and guarantees high resistance and extreme precision. The two steel grades are jointed through a particular copper brazing procedure. The subtle copper line remaining between the steel grades adds an additional special touch.

The slim tapering handle is made of light Pakka wood. Its form and its diagonal grain pattern impart these masterpieces a particularly light dynamic.

This brand new handle design, using Global’s experience has been designed in consultation with many chefs and knife experts to allow the utmost comfort and safety in use. The Global Sai range has 7 dots along the handle instead of the fully dotted handles of the classic Global range. This is to represent the traditional Japanese bushido- way of the warrior where there are 7 virtues of the samurai.

2) 3-ply special steel. The blade material consists of a central core material of substantial hardness to keep an extremely hard edge, being surrounded by layers of softer, corrosion resistant stainless steel. The outer edges of the blade are made from the same steel as the handles making the forge between blade and handle even stronger.

3) Hammered blade finish. The special individually hammered finish not only looks stylish but also is designed so that the small hollows create air pockets between chopped food assisting and allowing food to pass across the blade without sticking.

F. DICK 1905, exclusive series

Ordering No.: F. DICK 1905 knives

description: In 1905 the Swabian knife manufacturer Friedr. Dick developed a series of knives with aesthetic metal rings around the handle. These replaced the previously common rivets which were used to mount the handle onto the steel of the knife. Friedr. Dick was founded in Esslingen in 1778 and after more than 225 years is still a family-owned enterprise. Maximum quality and optimum handling, designed according to the ergonomic requirements for professionals, make Dick products the leading brand for professional chefs worldwide.

The special design of 1905 and the therefore necessary special techniques have been further developed by Friedr. Dick. Both then and now the knife series 1905 is captivating thanks to its exceptional appearance. Modern materials and manufacturing processes are used today. The symmetrical steel rings are inseparably connected to the moulded handle, using a unique technology. The blade is well sharpened and the knife enjoys perfect equilibrium, with tapering at the tip. It goes without saying that the blade is made of best quality German XCrMoVMn stainless steel, preferred by reputable chefs.

A finely dispersed martensitic structure is produced (with a hardness of over 60 HRc) thanks to a hi-tech tempering process at temperatures of approx. 1950° F and cryogenic treatment at temperatures as low as -310° F. Targeted tempering in several stages at approx 392° F produces a unique, dynamic and sharp cutting edge. During this process, the hardness is carefully reduced to 55HRc. This hardness is required as it guarantees sharpness and retention of sharpness and also facilitates resharpening. Combining these two requirements in a balanced manner is an art. Highly experienced craftsmen add on the end cutting edge by hand

material: stainless steel

length: 7 - 32 cm

F. DICK Premier Plus

Ordering No.: F. DICK Premier Plus knives

description: Of course with the knives of the Premier Plus series the composition of the steel and the special hardening technique are the most obviously important factors. The steel elements are made from the alloy X 45 Cr Mo V15, in which each component has a special part to play: chromium strengthens the steel against wear and tear, molybdenum gives it resistance to corrosion and carbon its absolute hardness. This first class substance is then forged into a perfectly balanced and ergonomically shaped knife.

Particularly worthy of note, however, is the sophisticated design of the handle. A special manufacturing technique results in the blade and the handle being so tightly linked that not even the finest crack or gap is left. Unlike traditional knives with a handle housing, it is impossible for food residue or liquids to penetrate. As is standard with the Friedrich Dick company, each finished knife of the Premier Plus series is sharpened and honed by hand. Cutting becomes an experience – this is something you can expect from Friedr. Dick.
