F. Dick. The Professional's Choice Since 1778.

F. Dick has been forging professional-grade blades in Germany since 1778 - a name trusted by butchers, chefs, and meat processors worldwide for over two centuries. This machete-style butcher knife carries that heritage: the fully forged carbon steel blade delivers the reach, heft, and edge retention needed for breaking down large cuts and heavy prep work. Carbon steel sharpens to a finer, keener edge than stainless and develops a natural patina with use - a characteristic prized by serious cooks and collectors. One-of-a-kind and not available anywhere else.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after washing to prevent rust
• Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade if storing long-term
• Sharpen with a whetstone - carbon steel responds exceptionally well to sharpening
• A natural patina will develop with use - this is normal and desirable
