Dick 1905 Fully Forged Boning Knife 15.2cm

The Dick 1905 boning knife is a fully forged professional knife with a 15.2cm blade, built for the precise, repetitive demands of commercial butchery and meat prep. It belongs to Dick's 1905 series, which is distinguishable by its steel collar rings bonded inseparably to the moulded handle — a construction method that removes the weak points common in riveted or adhesive-bonded handles where gaps can harbour bacteria and joints can loosen under lateral stress.

Boning work is harder on a knife than most prep tasks. The blade absorbs constant sideways load as it works around joints and along bone, and a knife that flexes at the bolster or loosens at the handle becomes both a hygiene concern and a safety risk over time. The 1905's one-piece construction addresses this directly. It holds its integrity across multiple shifts without the joint degradation that can affect lower-quality alternatives in a wet prep environment.

The German stainless steel blade takes a keen edge and responds reliably to regular honing on a steel, which is the standard maintenance approach in a professional kitchen. At 280g, the knife carries enough weight to feel purposeful without becoming tiring during extended prep sessions.

• Seamless bonded handle with no rivet gaps or seam lines to trap debris
• Fully forged construction maintains balance and rigidity under lateral boning load
• German stainless steel holds a working edge with routine honing
• Meaningful weight for controlled, detailed work without hand fatigue
• Suited to wet prep environments and high-frequency daily use

This knife is well suited to butchers, meat prep sections, and brigade kitchens that handle whole or bone-in proteins on a regular basis. If boning work in your operation is occasional rather than daily, a general-purpose knife may cover the requirement at a lower price point.

If you're equipping a new prep section or want a steer on which knife suits your team's workload, we're glad to point you in the right direction.
