The F Dick Superior 12.5 in. Salmon Slicer is long, thin and very flexible making this a very useful tool in slicing delicate fish. Smoked salmon can be especially delicate so this thin flexible blade is perfect for razor thin slices. Made in Germany. A classic design with handle rivets and the lightweight design produce a knife that is safe to use. With the Superior knife series, Friedr. Dick has succeeded in perfectly combining a modern knife in shape and functionality with a traditional handle design with three rivets. The result is a perfectly shaped classic of exceptional quality. The continuous steel from blade to handle ensures a high degree of stability. The steel consists of a X50CrMoV15 high-quality alloy. These components ensure lasting edge retention and a long life time with the appropriate toughness and high corrosion resistance. Polish honing of the knife edges with a smooth cutting edge makes them even sharper, even faster, even better. The food to be cut is cut through exactly and not “sawed” or even squashed; this means that valuable flavors remain in the cut food. Learn More

Precision Salmon Slicing for Professional Environments When you grip the F. Dick Superior 12.5-inch Salmon Slicer, the first thing you notice is the calibrated weight distribution. Unlike heavy forged knives, this stamped blade provides the lateral flexibility required to track perfectly along the skin of a side of cold-smoked salmon or a fresh Atlantic fillet. The 32cm length is a deliberate choice for professionals, allowing for a single, long-draw stroke that eliminates the 'sawing' motion that tears delicate fish fibers. Tactile Feedback and Blade Response The blade is crafted from X50CrMoV15 high-carbon alloy, hardened to 56 HRC. This specific hardness level is the sweet spot for a slicer; it is rigid enough to maintain a razor-sharp 15-degree edge but retains the elasticity needed to bend without snapping when navigating the contours of a large fish. In hand, the blade feels alive, transmitting the texture of the proteins directly to the riveted handle, giving you micro-adjustability during every slice. Engineered Air Pockets: The Granton Edge The Granton edge, or Kullenschliff, features alternating hollow grounds along the blade face. During a deep cut through fatty fish like King Salmon, these scallops create pockets of air that break the vacuum seal between the steel and the meat. This technical feature ensures that oily or moist slices fall away cleanly rather than sticking to the blade, preserving the aesthetic integrity of your presentation. The handle is flush-mounted to the tang, ensuring no gaps exist where organic material could collect, meeting the most stringent HACCP hygiene requirements for commercial kitchens. Learn More

A Power-Focused Hybrid: The F. Dick 1905 AJAX Butcher's Knife Combining the heft of a cleaver with the precision of a chef's knife, the AJAX is engineered for heavy-duty meat portioning and high-volume prep. When you first pick up the F. Dick 1905 AJAX, the immediate sensation is one of purposeful weight. Unlike a standard 8-inch chef's knife that might feel flighty during heavy tasks, the AJAX carries its mass in the broad 2.8mm thick spine and the wide, sweeping belly. This is a tool designed for the tactile reality of a butcher's block. Whether you are breaking down subprimals or portioning large slabs of beef brisket, the AJAX utilizes its cambered curve to rock effortlessly through dense muscle fibers, while the extra width provides a massive surface area for a secure pinch grip. The steel is X50CrMoV15, a high-carbon German alloy forged to a Rockwell hardness of 56. In practical use, this means the edge is tough enough to withstand accidental contact with bone without chipping, yet it remains easy to maintain with a standard honing steel. The 50/50 bevel is ground with industrial precision, ensuring the blade doesn't 'steer' or wedge in thick cuts of meat. Historically inspired by the 1905 design, the handle replaces traditional rivets with solid steel rings. This isn't just an aesthetic choice; it creates a gapless, hygienic bond with the high-quality plastic handle, providing a balanced counterweight to the massive 9-inch blade. Under heavy use, the handle stays secure in the palm, even when wet, allowing for fatigue-free work during long shifts in a professional kitchen or a demanding home BBQ session. This knife doesn't just cut; it dominates the board with German engineering that prioritizes physical leverage over marketing gimmicks. Learn More

Elite Precision for the Delicate Anatomy of Salmon When handling a whole side of Atlantic salmon, the interface between steel and protein must be effortless. The F. Dick 1905 Series 12.5-inch Salmon Slicer is not merely a knife; it is a specialized instrument calibrated for the unique resistance of oily fish. During hands-on testing, the first thing you notice is the specific feedback from the X50CrMoV15 German steel blade. At a 56 HRC hardness, the steel maintains enough ductility to navigate the contours of a fish frame without the brittle snapping risk of harder alloys. The 330mm length is critical. It allows for long, singular drawing strokes that prevent the 'sawing' motion which tears delicate fatty tissues. In practice, the hollow-ground (Kullenschliff) edge creates micro-pockets of air. This prevents the suction effect common when slicing moist proteins, ensuring each slice of Gravlax or smoked salmon falls away from the blade cleanly. The tactile experience of the 1905 handle is a standout. Eschewing traditional rivets for solid steel rings, the balance point is shifted slightly toward the heel, giving you incredible control over the flexible tip. This allows for 'surgical' skinning where you can feel the transition between skin and flesh, ensuring zero waste. The hygienic seal where the handle meets the tang is tight and seamless, crucial for high-volume commercial kitchens where sanitation is as vital as sharpness. Learn More
