Product Description
The Dick 1905 is a fully forged chef knife built around a traditional construction that professional cooks have relied on for general-purpose prep work. The 215mm blade is made from German stainless steel and ground to a sharp, symmetrical edge suited to a wide range of cutting tasks — from breaking down proteins to fine vegetable work.
What distinguishes the 1905 from stamped or partially forged alternatives is the way the steel rings are integrated into the handle construction, creating a single continuous piece rather than a joined assembly. In a busy kitchen environment this matters: there are no weak points at the bolster, no loose handle components, and the knife maintains its balance and feel even after extended daily use and repeated washing.
At 440g it sits on the heavier end of the chef knife spectrum, which suits cooks who prefer a knife with some weight behind it for sustained prep sessions. It is not the lightest option for fine or delicate work, and chefs who favour a nimble, lightweight profile may want to consider a different geometry.
- Solid German stainless steel blade with consistent edge retention under regular use
- Integrated steel rings at the bolster prevent handle separation over time
- Well balanced for extended prep work across a full service shift
- Suited to professional kitchens where durability and reliability are priorities
The 1905 is a practical, well-established choice for chefs who want a dependable everyday knife rather than a specialist tool. If you are equipping a brigade or want to discuss which blade profile or weight suits your kitchen's prep style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the 1905 is well suited to professional use. The fully forged construction and integrated handle design are built to withstand daily use across a full kitchen shift, making it a practical choice for chefs who need a reliable general-purpose knife rather than one reserved for occasional use.
- At 440g, the 1905 is on the heavier side for a chef knife of this blade length. Many professional cooks find this weight beneficial for sustained prep work as it reduces the effort needed on each cut, though chefs who prefer a lighter, more agile knife for fine or high-speed work may find it less suitable for those specific tasks.
- Regular honing with a steel before or during service will maintain the edge between sharpenings. Hand washing and prompt drying is recommended to preserve the blade and handle finish — dishwasher use is not advised for forged knives of this type.
