Product Information
Full details
The Dick Premier Plus serrated utility knife is designed for professional chefs and home cooks who demand precision, durability, and a clean cut for difficult ingredients like crusty bread or soft-skinned produce. It provides a masterfully balanced, corrosion-resistant solution for everyday kitchen tasks; however, the serrated edge requires specialized sharpening techniques that differ from standard straight-edge kitchen knives.

FAQs
Can this knife be cleaned in a dishwasher?
No, it is highly recommended to hand-wash the knife to protect the blade integrity and handle material.
What is the best way to store a serrated knife?
Store it in a dedicated knife block, a knife drawer insert with separators, or on a magnetic wall mount.
Is the handle waterproof?
The handle is designed for kitchen environments, but it should not be submerged in water for long periods.
How often should I sharpen the serrated edge?
Because of the hardened steel, it will retain an edge for a long time, but touch it up with a sharpening rod only when you feel resistance while slicing.
Can I use this for carving meat?
While it can slice through cooked meats, it is primarily designed as a utility knife for breads and produce; a dedicated carving knife is better for large roasts.
Troubleshooting
The knife is tearing ingredients rather than slicing them
This indicates a dull edge; have the knife professionally sharpened or use a specialized serrated rod sharpener.
Rust spots appearing on the blade surface
Ensure the knife is thoroughly dried immediately after washing and avoid soaking in water for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your knife, always hand-wash with mild detergent and warm water immediately after use. Avoid using high-heat dishwashers, as they can damage the handle and dull the blade edge prematurely. Store the knife in a wooden knife block or on a magnetic rack to prevent the serrations from coming into contact with other hard metal utensils, which can cause chipping. When the edge eventually dulls, use a professional serrated blade sharpener or contact a professional sharpening service to maintain the specific geometry of the teeth.
