Sharpening Steel:
Good quality tools require care and must be regularly sharpened. Through constant
contact with the food or the cutting board, even the best knife will in time lose its
sharpness. A good sharpening tool should therefore always be available in every
kitchen, because only cooking with sharp knives will really be fun

for your blades. of wood or plastic. Hard bases, i.e. glass, marble or granite, will very quickly
lead to blunt knives. Although DICK knives can certainly be washed in the
dishwasher, this form of washing is much more aggressive than cleaning by
hand. The fine cutting edge can be slightly bent in the dishwasher and thus
loses its ideal cutting features. Highly concentrated washing agents and long
periods in hot steam can lead to stains on the blade. We therefore recommend
that our knives are washed by hand - under flowing water with a gentle cloth
and a mild detergent. Dry the knives carefully with a cloth after washing to
prevent staining on the blade.

HACCP* knives
Due to hygienic requirements the idea
of color separation was born. Knives
with colored handles are a safe way
to ensure clear separation of utensils
according to different foods, thus pre-
venting any cross contamination (e.g.
poultry to raw vegetables). An interna-
tional color concept was developed for

(blue), poultry (yellow) and vegetables
(green). The user will, however, not be
satisfied just by having all knife types

From the smithery to the kitchen. All DICK products are manufactured according to traditional methods and by the most sophisticated
production processes. Our knives are meant to give many years of service to the user. That means they have been well planned and designed down to the smallest
detail. Approximately 45 different production steps are required for each knife. The knives are forged from a solid piece of chromium-molybdenum steel, with the blades
being specially hardened to at least 56° Rockwell. Great care and precision in the most important production processes, such as grinding and hardening, the quality

The bison image was used for the first time by the former owner, business
magnate Paul Friedrich Dick after the World Exhibition of 1890 in Chicago. He
had namely seen a bison for the first time when he was there. The bison has
been combined with the figure of Diana, which goes back to Ancient Greek and
Roman mythology. Both are used as a visual symbol of the company’s strengths.
Diana, the legendary heroine and goddess of hunting, holding her bow and
arrow, stands for hardiness and reliability. Her unerring arrow is also used in
the Dick logo. Power and strength of the bison, combined with consistent reli- Knife with special soft center blade from the limited jubilee series (1778), manufactured on the occasion of 225 years history of Friedr. Dick.
