Dick 1905 Paring Knife 3 Inch
The Dick 1905 Paring Knife 3 Inch exemplifies over a century of German cutlery excellence, tracing its lineage to a pivotal moment when Friedr. Dick revolutionised knife design.
In 1905, whilst competitors relied on conventional three-rivet construction, this Swabian manufacturer introduced an audacious alternative: solid collar construction that immediately distinguished their blades from the marketplace.
Though this visionary approach faded from prominence, its 2010 revival has established the 1905 series as a modern classic.
The design philosophy extends beyond aesthetics.
Alternating steel rings and premium-grade plastic create a handle that engages both hand and eye, whilst the embossed F. Dick signature reinforces the knife's heritage credentials. Functionally, the blade employs XCrMoV15 chrome steel—a high-performance alloy engineered for sustained edge retention across demanding kitchen environments.
The double-honed cutting edge delivers exceptional sharpness from first use, whilst the half bolster finger guard provides protective assurance without compromising resharpening capability.
This 3-inch paring knife bridges historical significance and practical excellence, offering the professional or serious home cook an instrument that performs as beautifully as it appears.
