F.Dick 9"/23cm Chef's Knife Stamped

The F. Dick Superior series is a range of professional kitchen knives designed for chefs who seek reliability, precision and comfort in professional kitchens. F. Dick Superior knives are manufactured from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, hardened to approximately 56 HRC, with stamped blades and riveted POM (polyoxymethylene) handles. This construction provides an excellent balance of lightweight handling, durability, hygiene and long-term performance. Compared with the ProDynamic series, which uses the same X50CrMoV15 stainless steel but features an ergonomic injection-moulded polypropylene (PP) handle, the Superior series offers a firmer grip, improved balance and a more refined finish, making it ideal for intensive professional use. The main difference compared with the 1905 series lies in the construction. F. Dick 1905 knives are fully forged and fitted with the iconic POM handle featuring stainless steel rings, providing greater weight, superior balance and premium craftsmanship. The Superior series, with its stamped blade and riveted handle, is a lighter and more affordable alternative while maintaining the high-quality steel and reliability for which F. Dick professional knives are renowned.

The F. Dick Superior series is ideal for professional chefs, restaurants, hotels, catering companies, institutional kitchens, culinary schools and food production facilities requiring dependable knives for intensive daily use. Its robust construction and comfortable handling make it particularly suitable for large kitchen brigades where knives are used continuously by different professionals throughout the day.

The F. Dick Superior series is designed to handle virtually every everyday task in a professional kitchen. It delivers outstanding performance when cutting meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, cold cuts, cheese and fresh herbs, offering an excellent balance of precision, control and durability. It is the ideal series for chefs who use the same knife continuously throughout service, moving quickly from one preparation to another. Compared with the Premier Plus series, which features a more refined construction and greater attention to detail, the Superior series focuses on simplicity, practicality and ease of maintenance. This philosophy makes it particularly popular in high-volume professional kitchens, where reliability, efficiency and continuous performance are essential.

Regular maintenance with a professional F. Dick sharpening steel, hand washing, immediate drying and proper storage will preserve the cutting performance and long-term reliability of the F. Dick Superior series.
