F. Dick 6 in. Gutting Knife a special knife that has two sharp blade sides and a metal ball at the tip. It is used to cut open the abdominal wall of cattle. To do so, it is cut with the knife tip on the cutting side of the special knife. The abdominal wall is then cut open completely with the hook-shaped end of the blade spine. The ball at the tip prevents internal organs from being damaged. The special (Cattle) knife plays an important role in the knife assortment of professional slaughterhouses and also in home slaughter. The main feature of its handling is its precise cutting action, which ensures that the thin intestinal wall is not damaged. This is why it needs its special shape, the basis of which is easy handling. Damage to the internal organs would significantly reduce the quality and financial value of the meat products. Its distinctive feature is its double cutting edge and the metal ball on the tip. Learn More

F. Dick 6 in. (150 mm) Trimming Knife used in meat and fish processing for a variety of task. From trimming fat to skinning and removing silver skin this knife can fill a lot of rolls in the kitchen. A fair amount of flex and high quality German Steel will allow the knife to retain its edge well, while also being stainless. The trimming knife is used to separate pieces of meat from fat, tendons and skin. That is why the trimming knife also belongs to the butcher's knife family. The blade is slightly curved upwards, becoming slightly wider in the front area than in the middle. This gives it more surface area, allowing you to make a long, pulling cut. Like the classic butcher's knife, it is also used to cut larger pieces of meat. This makes the trimming knife one of the most versatile butcher’s knives in slaughterhouses and cutting plants. The purpose of the trimming knife is to produce beautiful pieces of meat that have been cleanly separated from components such as tendons and fibres and can then be processed further without any problems. The subsequent process of portioning, or cutting the meat into ready-to-eat pieces, also requires precision and exact cutting. That is why it is important that you have a sharp trimming knife in your hands so that you can cut the meat cleanly and create a beautiful cut pattern. A trimming knife is distinguished first and foremost by its blade shape. It is on the narrow side, curved upwards and ends in a wide, rounded blade tip. This simplifies handling and allows the knife to glide along easily when cutting. This means that the cuts are long and can be made in a flowing movement, while the more comfortable hand position is easy on the wrist. Learn More

The F Dick ErgoGrip 5 in. Straight Flexible Boning Knife is NSF certified for use in commercial kitchens or processing plants. A straight, narrow and flexible blade is preferred for filleting smaller fish, removing silver skin from meats, and navigating around bones in pork butts or similar products. The boning knife is used to cleanly separate the bone from the meat, a process known as boning. It is also used for skinning meat and poultry and cutting through tendons. The boning knife’s primary use is it to separate meat from the bone. Hardly any other knife is subjected to such stress and strain as a boning knife. It must prove itself as a reliable and safe helper in all work processes. In the meat industry, in slaughtering and cutting, as well as in butchers' shops, the boning knife must continually demonstrate its quality. The knife must be particularly easy to grip, as it requires frequent handling. The boning knife is held like a dagger and guided along the bone so that the meat is removed cleanly and evenly. When it is used for shearing, i.e. cutting meat, the knife is held in the normal gripping position, as it is when removing tendons or skin. Our boning knives are specially designed for this professional use in terms of blade shape, handle design and the materials used. The art of boning was already in demand in all ancient cultures. In those days, it was performed with sharpened horn or by a specially shaped stone. A cutting edge was created by hitting the edges of the hard stone. Both of these ancient tools already bore a certain resemblance to today's boning knives. The shape of the blade has changed slightly over the years. The knife was initially only used to remove the bones. Skinning, removing the tendons and expertly cutting the individual pieces only came later. Learn More

The F Dick ErgoGrip 5 in. Straight Stiff Boning Knife is a great tool for cutting a variety of proteins, we find it works great for deer hunters looking to remove the backstrap (loin) of the deer. For our boning knives, we exclusively use high-quality knife alloys (X55CrMo14) and material compositions for the blade and handle. The blade's balanced hardness of 56° HRC significantly reduces material consumption and ensures that the cutting edge has a long life time. For you, this means considerably less sharpening. In our special hardening process, each blade is individually case-hardened and monitored – with optimum results in terms of hardness and structure. With the polished blade, we guarantee the highest level of hygiene. This means that less residue can adhere to the blade, making them corrosion-resistant and easier to clean. There is no gap at the blade exit from the handle, and the handle absorbs neither grease nor dirt. Furthermore, it is easy to clean and resistant to heat, shocks and abrasion. This is just one of the reasons why the knives have been awarded the American NSF seal for hygiene and quality. Learn More
