F. Dick 1905 Santoku Knife – Precision in Every Cut
The F. Dick 1905 santoku knife brings together Japanese precision and German craftsmanship. With an 18 cm blade in high-quality X50CrMoV15 steel and an ergonomic synthetic handle with stainless steel rings, this knife delivers superior cutting performance. The built-in hollow-ground indentations prevent ingredients from sticking to the blade during use.
Ideal for finer cutting work with vegetables, fruit, fish, and smaller pieces of meat, where precision and control are essential.
Sharpness and Durability in a Class of Their Own
The 18 cm double-ground blade is made from X50CrMoV15 forged steel with a hardness of 56 HRC, giving the knife exceptional sharpness and edge retention. This combination allows ingredients to be cut with minimal resistance and maximum precision. The hollow-ground indentations in the blade reduce friction during cutting and prevent thin slices from sticking to the blade – particularly useful when working with sticky ingredients.
Ergonomics and Balance for Reduced Fatigue
The iconic 1905 design has been developed with a focus on both functionality and comfort. The hard-wearing synthetic handle with stainless steel rings provides a secure grip even with wet hands. The half-bolstered finger guard increases safety during use, whilst the seamless construction between handle and blade prevents bacterial build-up. The knife's well-considered weight distribution of 220 grams minimises wrist fatigue during extended use.
Technical Specifications
The santoku knife measures 300 mm in total length with a blade height of 45 mm and a width of 18 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I maintain my F. Dick 1905 santoku knife?
Always wash the knife by hand with mild soapy water and dry it thoroughly after use. Avoid the dishwasher, as this can damage both the blade and the handle. Use a honing steel regularly to maintain the edge.
What is the difference between a santoku knife and a standard chef's knife?
The santoku knife typically has a wider blade with a flat edge and a rounded tip, which lends itself to a different cutting technique (up-and-down rather than rocking). It is particularly well suited to precision cutting of vegetables, fruit, and smaller pieces of meat.
