Knives

The Santoku knife is the Asian classic and the most important knife in Asian cuisine. Santoku stands for “three virtues knife” – a term that is attributable to the versatility of the knife in cutting meat, fish and vegetables. The pointed end of the 7 inch long blade is used for decorating. With the DarkNitro series Friedr. Dick once again shows ultimate knife art. From the interaction of the unique blade optics with hammered finish and carbon look as well as the handle made of noble oak wood, unique knives are created. We use a special martensitic, stainless and nitrogen-alloyed steel in the DarkNitro series. This results in a unique combination of excellent cutting performance, exceptional hardness of 61 HRC and special corrosion resistance. For a perfect material structure, DarkNitro knives are forged in a special process and then ice-hardened at temperatures down to -100°. The very fine microstructure of the steel allows for simple sharpening, resulting in a very sharp cutting edge. The oak handle symbolises endurance, power and strength. The sharp and clear line of the handle reinforces the knife's aesthetics. We use the finest robust oak wood for the handle. Oak trees are known for their longevity; a tree can grow over 800 years old. The oak tree is shrouded in legend and steeped in history and is known for being one of the main deciduous trees in Europe. Ships were built with oak as long as 1,000 years ago and until today, oak barrels are used to store special whisky and wine. So it's no wonder that we chose an oak handle for our new unique series of knives. Learn More

This unique little Santoku by Friedrich Dick is an amazing addition to a home kitchen or chef's tool roll. This knife is small enough at 5.5 in. (140mm) to be a nimble utility knife but broad enough for a person with smaller hands to use this as an everyday vegetable knife. The Granton or Kullenschliff (in German) Edge is what really makes this knife special as many smaller blades don't have a hollow edge cut in. The Granton edge will help keep food like onion or tomato from clinging to the blade allowing for a quicker prepping experience. Made in Germany. Learn More
