Product Description
The Dick Premier Plus paring knife is a short-bladed precision knife intended for close, controlled prep work — peeling, trimming, segmenting, and other detail tasks that require the knife to work near or in the hand rather than on a board. At 8.9cm, it sits in the standard range for a paring knife and is a common sight in professional kitchens where prep brigades need a reliable, everyday tool that holds up across long shifts.
The blade is forged from chromium stainless steel, which gives it good resistance to corrosion — a practical consideration in a wet prep environment where knives are regularly rinsed, wiped down, and exposed to acidic ingredients. Dick's forging process produces a blade with reasonable balance and a geometry that suits the controlled grip most cooks use for paring tasks. At 50g, it is light enough for extended use without causing hand fatigue.
For a busy kitchen, a paring knife like this earns its place through dependability rather than novelty. It sharpens predictably, holds an edge well through a prep session, and tolerates regular professional use without the blade or handle deteriorating quickly. It is the sort of knife that gets handed out to commis cooks and relied upon equally by more senior members of the brigade.
If your kitchen runs high prep volumes and you are kitting out multiple stations, it is worth considering whether a single size suits all your tasks or whether a small selection of blade lengths would serve better. We are happy to talk through what works in practice for your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most paring tasks — peeling vegetables, trimming fruit, segmenting smaller ingredients — an 8.9cm blade is a practical, standard choice. If your team regularly works with larger produce or needs a knife that also functions on a board, a slightly longer blade in the same range may be worth considering.
- Chromium stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, which is useful in prep kitchens where knives are frequently exposed to moisture and acidic ingredients. It sharpens relatively easily and maintains a workable edge through normal service, though like any professional knife it benefits from regular honing and proper storage.
- Yes — the Dick Premier Plus range is commonly used in professional kitchens where operators need consistent, dependable tools across multiple stations. If you are equipping several cooks, it is worth speaking with us about volume and whether a mix of blade sizes would better suit the range of prep tasks your brigade handles.
