1905 Series by Friedr. Dick
In 1905 the Swabian knife manufacturer
Friedr. Dick developed a series of knives with aesthetic metal rings
around the handle. These replaced the previously common rivets which were
used to mount the handle onto the steel of the knife. Friedr. Dick was
founded in Esslingen in 1778 and after more than 225 years is still a
family-owned enterprise. Maximum quality and optimum handling, designed
according to the ergonomic requirements for professionals, make Dick
products the leading brand for professional chefs worldwide.
The special design of 1905 and the therefore necessary special techniques
have been further developed by Friedr. Dick. Both then and now the knife
series 1905 is captivating thanks to its exceptional appearance. Modern
materials and manufacturing processes are used today. The symmetrical
steel rings are inseparably connected to the moulded handle, using a
unique technology. The blade is well sharpened and the knife enjoys
perfect equilibrium, with tapering at the tip. It goes without saying that
the blade is made of best quality German XCrMoVMn stainless steel,
preferred by reputable chefs.
A finely dispersed martensitic structure is produced (with a hardness of
over 60 HRc) thanks to a hi-tech tempering process at temperatures of
approx. 1950° F and cryogenic treatment at temperatures as low as -310°
F. Targeted tempering in several stages at approx 392° F produces a
unique, dynamic and sharp cutting edge. During this process, the hardness
is carefully reduced to 55HRc. This hardness is required as it guarantees
sharpness and retention of sharpness and also facilitates resharpening.
Combining these two requirements in a balanced manner is an art. Highly
experienced craftsmen add on the end cutting edge by hand.

3½" Paring Knife - 1905 Series [FD8-1947-09]
List Price: $64.00
Our Price: $51.20
A paring
knife's blade is rarely more than four inches long (about 10 cm), making
it ideal for peeling and coring fruits and vegetables. A paring
knife is also used to create special garnishes and other decorative
elements. A paring
knife's blade should be kept very sharp to prevent accidents. A dull paring
knife can cause the user to place too much pressure on the blade, leading
to slips and cuts.

5" Utility Knife, serrated edge - 1905 Series [FD8-1910-13]
List Price: $85.00
Our Price: $67.75
A utility knife is a medium size knife that
can be used for a myriad of tasks (although many chefs will claim
that a cook with a chef's knife and a paring knife can achieve these
tasks just as well). Utility knives can either have a plain edge
blade or a serrated blade, some of which are considered tomato
knives. Serrated Blade knives have a saw-like blade. Serrations make
knives ideal for cutting things that are hard on the outside and
soft on the inside (such as bread or tomatoes). Such foods might
otherwise be squished by a knife with a plain edge blade. However,
serrated knives should not be used for everything as they
essentially cut by tearing the food.

6" Boning Knife, flexible - 1905 Series [FD8-1945-15]
List Price: $117.00
Our Price: $93.60
A boning knife is a kitchen tool designed for
removing the bones from cuts of meat, typically before cooking. The
blade of a boning knife is thin and short, allowing it to slip
easily between the flesh and bone in a cut of meat. The handle may
be of varying length, and can be made from wood, plastic, bone, or
metal. Using a boning knife ensures that the maximum amount of meat
is taken off the bone cleanly, reducing waste in the kitchen. This
knife should be kept extremely sharp, so that it can cut cleanly
through fibrous tissue.
