F. Dick 1905 AJAX 9-inch Butcher’s Chef’s Knife

The AJAX combines some of the heft of a cleaver with the shape of a chef’s knife, and it is made for heavy meat portioning and high-volume prep. It has a broad blade and a wide, sweeping belly that rocks through a brisket or a stack of cabbage.

Weight is what sets it apart from a standard 8-inch chef’s knife. The thick spine and tall blade carry the cut through dense food with less effort from the wrist, and the height gives generous knuckle clearance. It is at home on a butcher’s block breaking down subprimals and in a kitchen chopping large volumes of vegetables.

The weight also helps when cutting through winter squash.

The AJAX has its own fitted 1905 Ajax sheath for carrying it safely. For lighter everyday work, the 1905 8-inch chef’s knife is quicker in the hand. A different take on the same idea is the Red Spirit AJAX 8-inch chef’s knife.

    Tips for Best Results

    A few strokes on a steel before each use keep the edge aligned. The 1905 Series 10-inch regular cut steel matches this series, and our honing rod guide explains the technique. Hold any steady angle between 15 and 25 degrees.


    Care

    F. Dick says never to put its knives in the dishwasher. Wash by hand in warm water right after use, and dry the blade with a soft cloth.
