F. Dick Specialty Tools

Butchers, meat plants and hunters use a hand bone saw to cut through bone and large cuts of meat cleanly, and this 20-inch F. Dick saw is made for that work. It cuts through a beef shank or a deer pelvis with a straight, even kerf that a cleaver cannot match.A saw leaves fewer bone fragments than chopping and keeps the meat on either side intact. The quick-clamping action makes blade changes fast, so a dull or broken blade does not stop the work for long. The long frame gives a full stroke on large pieces.The quick blade change also lets the user switch between carbon and rust-resistant blades between jobs.Replacement blades come in stainless steel and carbon steel, and we keep both in stock. For frozen food and smaller cuts, the 14-inch bone and frozen food saw is shorter. When bone is too large for a saw stroke, a two-handed tool such as the 14-inch splitter takes over. Learn More

Long enough to protect well at a hot barbecue, this F. Dick leather apron is handmade in Germany from soft nappa leather. It suits pitmasters, grill cooks and anyone who wants a working apron that lasts.Supple leather moves with the body, and adjustable leather straps with a buckle let it fit a wide range of builds. Extra leather protection on the neck strap keeps it from rubbing during a long cook. A hanging loop holds a tea towel or barbecue tongs within reach, and contrasting logo appliques in antique-look leather finish the front.It makes a lasting gift for a barbecue enthusiast. Wear it through a long smoke and it will soften and darken with age, gaining character over the years.A matching F. Dick 5-slot black leather knife roll carries knives to the grill. For barbecue knives, see the Red Spirit Pit Master BBQ set, and the Red Spirit 8-inch carving fork handles the brisket. Learn More

Butcher blocks and char-broiler grates build up a layer of residue and carbon that ordinary brushes cannot shift. The F. Dick block brush has tempered steel wire bristles for that deep, aggressive cleaning, and its plastic body suits kitchens and shops where wooden brushes are not allowed.Wooden brushes absorb grease and cannot be fully cleaned, which rules them out in many inspected environments. This brush can be washed and sanitized like the rest of the equipment. It removes food build-up, carbon deposits and rust from the top layer of a block, which helps the block last longer. The handle gives a sure grip for hard scrubbing.Plastic also dries quickly between uses.Use it with water and a little salt or detergent on a wood block, then rinse the block and oil it once dry. For lighter, everyday board cleaning, the F. Dick Blank-Boy cutting board scraper is gentler. Butcher shops and delis keep both on hand. Learn More

Wood and poly cutting boards collect dried-on residue and a raised surface layer that a sponge does not remove. The F. Dick Blank-Boy is a compact 3.5-inch scraper that takes that layer off, so the board is clean and smooth again.Scraping removes the residue that sits in the knife marks, where bacteria can collect, and it restores a flat surface for safe cutting. The small size works well on a home board as well as on a line where boards are scraped at the end of each shift. Draw it across the board with even pressure, following the grain on wood.Regular scraping also extends the life of a board.For heavy cleaning of butcher blocks and char-broiler grates, the F. Dick block brush with steel bristles is more aggressive. After scraping a wood board, wash it, dry it upright and oil it when it looks dry. Our cutting boards page lists the boards we carry.

Cutting frozen meat and fish, frozen blocks of stock and smaller bones is easier with a saw than a knife, and this 14-inch F. Dick saw is sized for that work in commercial kitchens and at home. It also handles bone in fresh meat.A knife can slip or chip on frozen product, and a cleaver shatters it. A saw cuts a clean line through a frozen roast or a block of fish without thawing it first, which helps with portioning for the freezer. The quick-clamping frame makes blade changes simple. The shorter frame is easier to control on a cutting board than a full-size bone saw.Hold the piece firmly and let the teeth do the work with long, even strokes.A replacement blade for this saw is in stock. For large cuts and heavy bone, the 20-inch bone saw gives a longer stroke. Our table below lists both saws and their blades. Learn More

Garde manger work, catering displays and competition plating call for specialized cutting tools, and this F. Dick set gathers seven of them in a compact roll bag. It suits caterers and cooks who carve fruit and vegetables for presentation.Garnishing tools are small and easy to lose in a drawer, and many have fine edges that dull when they knock together. A dedicated roll keeps each one in its own place and protects the edges in transport between stations or to an event. The set covers both soft fruit work and denser root vegetables.Keeping the tools in one roll also makes it quick to set up a garnish station before service.Related tools sold separately include the F. Dick zester and channel knife and the F. Dick double ended melon baller. For small pearls, add the F. Dick Parisian melon baller. Our kitchen knife shapes guide covers paring and decorating knives.

This blade fits the F. Dick 14-inch bone and frozen food saw (item 91028350) and restores its clean cut when the original blade dulls or breaks. It is a genuine F. Dick part made to the saw’s length and mounting.Frozen product is hard on teeth, and a dull blade starts to bind and wander, which tears the cut surface and takes more effort. A fresh blade cuts a straight line again through frozen roasts, fish blocks and bone. Keeping a spare on hand avoids a stop when a blade snaps mid-cut.Change the blade as soon as it begins to drift, and keep the old one until the new blade is fitted and tensioned.To fit it, release the tension and hook the new blade into the frame with its teeth facing the cutting direction, then re-tension until the blade is taut. This blade does not fit the 20-inch bone saw, which takes its own stainless or carbon steel blades. Learn More

This is the left spring housing for the F. Dick Master Steel sharpener, the side with one hole. It replaces a damaged or lost housing so the sharpener can go back into service without buying a new unit.The spring housings hold the springs that press the rods against the edge. A cracked or missing housing lets the rods lose tension, so the sharpener no longer hones evenly. Check which side needs replacing, since the left housing has one hole and the right has two.Compare the old housing with the new part before fitting, and replace any damaged springs or rods at the same time so the unit hones evenly again.The matching part is the Master Steel right spring housing. We also carry the HyperDrill II replacement rods and the Master Steel holder. Looking for a different F. Dick part? Call 1-800-714-8226 and we will order it for you. Learn More
