Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dick 1905 series knife lasts a lifetime, follow these maintenance guidelines: Always hand wash the knife using mild dish soap and warm water immediately after use. Avoid letting the blade soak in a sink or sit in a dishwasher, as high-heat detergents and abrasive cycles can damage the steel and the handle material. Dry the knife thoroughly with a clean, soft towel before returning it to a knife block or a magnetic strip. Use a wood or high-quality plastic cutting board to protect the sharpness of the edge and avoid cutting on surfaces like glass or granite.
