FAQs
Is this knife dishwasher safe?

What is the blade length of this model?
This model features a 17.8cm (7-inch) blade.
What material is the handle made of?
The handle is constructed from a durable, moulded material reinforced with signature symmetrical steel rings.
Can I use this for carving bones?
No, the Santoku is a precision cutting tool for slicing and dicing. Using it on bones or frozen foods may cause chipping.
Does it come with a protective sheath?
The product is provided as a single unit without a sheath; we recommend storing it in a knife block or on a magnetic strip.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull during use
Use a high-quality honing steel regularly to realign the edge, or seek professional sharpening services if the edge has become rounded.
Surface spots appear on the blade
These are likely water spots or minor oxidation; remove them with a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a fine, non-abrasive polishing paste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dick 1905, proper maintenance is essential. Upon arrival, the knife is ready for use, but we recommend storing it in a dedicated knife block or on a magnetic strip to prevent edge damage from other tools. Never place this knife in a dishwasher; the high temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the handle-to-blade connection and dull the edge. Instead, wash it immediately after use with warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge, then dry it thoroughly with a towel to prevent surface oxidation.
