F. Dick Premier Plus Chef's Knife

The Premier Plus stands out for its balance of professional-grade durability and ergonomic design. It uses a high-carbon stainless steel that is specifically engineered to hold a sharp edge longer than standard stainless, making it a reliable workhorse for daily prep.

No, the handle is designed with ergonomics in mind to provide a secure, non-slip grip even during intensive tasks. The material is chosen specifically for its durability and ability to maintain a comfortable hold, even in a busy kitchen environment.

To keep the edge performing at its best, we recommend using a honing steel regularly to realign the blade. When it eventually dulls, a whetstone or a professional sharpening service will restore the edge without compromising the integrity of the steel.

While the materials are durable, we strongly recommend hand washing and drying the knife immediately after use. Dishwashers can expose the blade to harsh detergents and high heat, which may dull the edge prematurely and damage the handle over time.

This knife is designed as a general-purpose tool for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables and boneless meats. While it is robust, it is not intended for hacking through bone or frozen foods, which could chip or damage the fine edge.
