The Dick 1905 Slicer is a fully forged professional knife built around a single-piece German steel construction. The defining characteristic of the 1905 range is the way the steel bolster rings are formed as a continuous, inseparable part of the handle — not attached as a secondary component. This gives the knife a level of structural integrity that holds up well under the repeated demands of a professional kitchen environment.

In day-to-day service, this knife is used for clean, controlled slicing through proteins, charcuterie, and cooked meats. The blade geometry supports smooth draw cuts with minimal drag, which matters when speed and presentation consistency are both important during a busy service period. At 310g, it sits at a weight that most chefs find manageable across extended use without becoming fatiguing.

The practical advantages of this construction include:

  • Forged one-piece build reduces weak points at the bolster and handle junction
  • German stainless steel holds a working edge well under regular professional use
  • Symmetrical bolster rings provide a secure, consistent grip position
  • Balanced weight suits extended prep and portioning sessions
  • Straightforward to maintain and resharpen with standard professional sharpening kit

As a consideration, this knife is a purpose-specific slicer rather than a general-purpose blade. Kitchens looking for versatility across multiple cutting tasks may find a broader chef's knife a more practical everyday choice. For dedicated slicing work, however, the 1905 is a reliable, well-regarded option from a manufacturer with a long track record in professional cutlery.

This knife suits chefs and kitchen operators who need a dependable, well-balanced slicer for regular portioning work. It is equally at home in a restaurant kitchen, a hotel operation, or a catering environment where presentation and consistency of cut are a priority.

If you are putting together a knife kit or unsure which blade would best suit your workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Dick 1905 Slicer suitable for everyday use in a busy professional kitchen?

Yes, the fully forged construction and German stainless steel blade are built for regular professional use. It performs best as a dedicated slicing knife for proteins and charcuterie rather than as a general-purpose blade, so kitchens that need one knife to do everything may want to consider a broader chef's knife alongside it.

How should this knife be maintained and sharpened in a professional setting?

The 1905 responds well to standard professional sharpening methods, including a honing steel for regular edge maintenance and a whetstone for periodic resharpening. Keeping it on a regular honing schedule during service will help maintain a consistent working edge and extend the time between full resharpens.

Is a 21.6cm slicer the right size for most commercial kitchen applications?

For most portioning and slicing tasks in a professional kitchen, a 21.6cm blade is a practical working length — long enough to handle joints and larger cuts cleanly, without being unwieldy in a busy prep environment. If your operation involves very large whole joints or high-volume slicing throughput, a longer slicer may be worth considering.
