Crafted by Friedr. Dick, this 4.5-inch paring knife represents the convergence of German precision engineering and sophisticated design.
A trusted companion for peeling, intricate slicing, and decorative work, it seamlessly merges professional-calibre functionality with refined visual appeal.
The blade features a proprietary martensitic, nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel composition, forged through specialised techniques and subjected to cryogenic hardening at -197°C.
This advanced metallurgical process yields a hardness rating of 61 HRC—the pinnacle achievable without sacrificing structural integrity—ensuring exceptional edge retention, cutting prowess, and resistance to corrosion.
The refined steel microstructure facilitates straightforward maintenance sharpening whilst preserving an exceptionally acute cutting edge.
The anthracite-coloured blade, finished via an eco-conscious method, delivers striking contemporary aesthetics.
Beyond its visual impact, the hammered surface texture generates minute air pockets that minimise food sticking and enable effortless food separation—delivering the signature "weightless" cutting sensation Friedr. Dick is renowned for.
The handle showcases premium European oak, a timber prized for its extraordinary longevity and historical significance in maritime construction and premium beverage storage.
Individually finished by skilled artisans, each handle exhibits distinctive wood grain patterns and natural colour variation, rendering every knife genuinely unique.
The knife's ergonomic architecture establishes optimal equilibrium amongst blade profile, bolster design, and handle construction, functioning as a natural extension of your hand.
This thoughtful engineering satisfies the rigorous expectations of both professional chefs and dedicated home cooks alike.
