Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a specialized professional tool, this knife is ready for use immediately upon unpacking. It is intended for use on wooden or plastic cutting boards to preserve the fine edge of the blade. To ensure the longevity of your Dick 1905 knife, avoid using glass, stone, or metal cutting surfaces, as these will dull the edge prematurely. Maintenance should focus exclusively on handwashing with mild detergent immediately after use; dry the knife thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing it in a knife block or on a magnetic rack to prevent moisture buildup.
