What truly distinguishes the F. Dick Vivum series?
The F. Dick Vivum series represents the most contemporary vision of F. Dick professional knives, designed to deliver maximum comfort, balance and handling during everyday use in professional kitchens.
F. Dick Vivum knives are manufactured from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, hardened to approximately 56 HRC. This professional-grade steel provides an excellent balance of cutting performance, corrosion resistance, edge retention and ease of sharpening.
The ergonomic handle is made from POM (polyoxymethylene), a highly durable, hygienic and dimensionally stable engineering material. Combined with the carefully balanced blade, the handle has been designed to reduce hand fatigue and provide precise control, even during long working sessions.
Compared with the 1905 series, which celebrates F. Dick's heritage through its fully forged construction and iconic stainless steel rings, and the DarkNitro series, developed to maximise metallurgical performance with high-hardness steel, the Vivum series focuses on the user experience, prioritising ergonomics, agility and comfort while maintaining the reliability expected from F. Dick professional knives.
