Product Description
The Dick Superior chef's knife is a 20cm general-purpose cook's knife aimed squarely at professional kitchen use. It features a stainless steel blade with a traditional riveted handle construction — a format that has remained the standard in commercial kitchens for good reason. At 253g it sits in a practical mid-weight range: substantial enough for controlled cutting work, without the fatigue that comes with heavier blades during a long service.
In a working kitchen, a reliable chef's knife needs to hold an edge through repetitive prep work — breaking down proteins, slicing vegetables, rough-chopping herbs — without requiring constant attention. The Superior series is positioned as a workhorse option within Dick's range, balancing durability with everyday usability rather than being a specialist or premium collector's piece.
Practical points worth noting for kitchen use:
- Stainless steel blade resists corrosion in wet kitchen environments
- Riveted handle construction is durable and easy to inspect for hygiene compliance
- 20cm blade length is versatile across a broad range of prep tasks
- Mid-weight balance suits extended prep sessions without excess hand fatigue
- Classic profile compatible with standard sharpening steels and whetstones
The 20cm format is among the most commonly used blade lengths in professional kitchens. It works well for general prep but may feel limiting for those butchering larger joints or working at high volume on bulk produce — in those cases, a longer blade or a more task-specific knife may serve better. Equally, chefs who prefer a lighter, more agile knife for intricate work may find a shorter option from the same range a better fit.
If you are equipping a new kitchen section or looking to standardise your knife roll, it is worth talking through your prep requirements before committing to a quantity — the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It is a practical, mid-range professional knife well suited to general prep work in a commercial setting. It is designed for everyday use rather than specialist tasks, so it performs reliably across a broad range of ingredients and cutting styles. For very high-volume or task-specific applications, it is worth considering whether a more specialised blade would be a better fit.
- The stainless steel blade responds well to a standard honing steel used regularly during service to maintain the edge, with periodic sharpening on a whetstone or mechanical sharpener as needed. For kitchens running multiple knives, establishing a consistent sharpening routine will extend blade life significantly and keep prep efficient.
- For most general kitchen prep — dicing vegetables, slicing proteins, chopping herbs — a 20cm blade is a versatile and well-balanced choice. It can feel restrictive when breaking down larger joints or working through high-volume bulk produce, where a longer blade may give better control. If your team handles a varied workload, it is worth discussing whether a range of blade lengths would suit different sections better.
