Product Description
The Dick Premier Plus chef's knife is a forged, general-purpose cook's knife built for the everyday demands of a professional kitchen. The 21.6cm blade sits in the most widely used size range for prep work — capable across meat, fish, and vegetables, and practical in tighter workspace conditions without sacrificing versatility.
Dick's Premier Plus range uses chromium stainless steel throughout the blade, which offers reliable resistance to corrosion and staining under the repeated washing and wet conditions common in a commercial environment. Forging gives the blade consistent rigidity and better edge retention than stamped alternatives, meaning it holds a working edge through a full prep session rather than softening mid-service.
For day-to-day brigade use, the knife offers several practical advantages:
- Chromium steel construction resists corrosion in high-moisture kitchen conditions
- Forged blade delivers consistent rigidity and edge retention through heavy prep
- Ergonomic handle shape reduces fatigue during extended use
- Well-balanced construction eases strain across repetitive chopping tasks
- Suited to dishwasher environments typical in commercial kitchens
As with any professional knife, storage matters. A magnetic strip or knife roll will protect the edge and the user far better than a loose drawer. Regular honing between sharpenings will keep the blade performing consistently across busy service periods.
This knife is well suited to professional cooks, commis chefs, and kitchen teams looking for a dependable everyday workhorse. It sits in the mid-range of Dick's catalogue — lighter options are available for detail and precision work, and heavier knives exist for high-volume butchery or breakdown tasks.
If you're building out a full knife kit or equipping a brigade from scratch, the team is happy to talk through what makes sense for your style of service.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most general prep tasks — breaking down vegetables, portioning meat, and everyday chopping — a 21cm blade is the most practical all-round choice and is the size most commonly found in professional kitchens. If your team does a significant volume of fine detail work, a shorter blade may suit better; for heavy butchery or large joint breakdown, a longer or heavier knife would be more appropriate.
- The chromium stainless steel construction and handle design are suited to commercial dishwasher use, which is standard practice in most brigades. That said, hand washing and prompt drying will extend edge life and keep the handle in better condition over time — particularly in kitchens running multiple washes per shift.
- The Premier Plus sits in the mid-range of Dick's professional knife catalogue, offering a solid balance of performance and durability for everyday kitchen use. Dick also produce lighter, more flexible options suited to precision or filleting work, as well as heavier blades designed for high-volume butchery — so if you're building a full kit, it's worth considering what tasks each knife will cover.
