F. Dick 1905 Series 6-Piece Magnetic Knife Block Set

Traditional Forged German Knives with Modern Magnetic Storage

The F. Dick 1905 Series Magnetic Knife Block Set is for cooks who like the weight and solidity of a classic forged German knife but want their blades held on magnets rather than pushed into slots. It pairs the series’ two main board knives with a bread knife, a paring knife and kitchen shears.

Why It Works

• Forged blades: Each knife is forged, giving it the strength and substantial feel of a traditional German blade.


• Half bolster: The bolster stops short of the cutting edge, so the blade can be sharpened along its full length, heel included.


• Granton-edge santoku: Hollow scallops along the santoku’s edge help slices of potato and cucumber fall away from the blade.


• Banded handles: The black synthetic handles, set with steel bands, resist moisture and give a firm, secure grip.


• Magnetic block: Blades rest against magnetic faces instead of sliding into slots, so they are never dragged edge-first across a slot wall.

In the Kitchen

The chef’s knife suits rock-chopping, heavier produce and breaking down poultry, and the santoku handles quick push cuts through vegetables and boneless meat. The long bread knife clears the width of a large country loaf in one stroke, and the paring knife covers peeling and trimming. The shears take care of herbs, twine and packaging.
