The Dick 1905 Salmon Slicer is a fully forged German steel knife built specifically for slicing smoked and fresh salmon, and other delicate fish fillets. The blade runs just over 31cm, which allows long, single-draw cuts — the correct technique for producing clean, even slices without tearing or compressing the flesh. A half bolster design means the full blade length remains available, which is a practical consideration when working through a whole side of salmon rather than portioned pieces.

In a professional kitchen, this knife earns its place through consistency and edge retention. The blade undergoes multi-stage tempering, which produces a fine edge that holds well under repeated daily use without needing constant attention. The scalloped sides reduce surface contact between the blade and the fish, so slices release cleanly rather than dragging — useful when you are cutting to order during a busy service.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

  • Full blade length available due to the half bolster — no wasted reach
  • Scalloped edge reduces drag and keeps delicate slices intact
  • Multi-stage tempered German steel holds a keen edge through regular use
  • At 180g, the knife is light enough to reduce fatigue across extended prep sessions
  • Fully forged construction gives good balance and control through the cut

This knife suits hotel banqueting kitchens, fishmongers with counter service, and restaurants where salmon appears regularly on the menu. It is not the right tool for high-throughput mechanical prep operations, where a powered slicer would be more appropriate. For kitchens handling very high volumes of fish prep, a heavier or longer blade may be worth considering.

If you are weighing up whether this blade style and length fits your prep volumes, the team is glad to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is this knife suitable for slicing fish other than salmon?

Yes — the long, flexible blade and scalloped edge make it well suited to other delicate fish fillets such as sea bass, trout, or halibut where clean, intact slices are important. It is less appropriate for dense, firm fish where a stiffer blade would give more control.

How does the half bolster design affect day-to-day use?

A half bolster leaves the heel of the blade fully exposed, which means the entire blade length can be used for cutting and the knife is straightforward to sharpen along its full edge. It also makes the knife lighter at the rear, which some chefs prefer for extended slicing work.

How should this knife be maintained in a professional kitchen?

Regular honing on a smooth steel will help maintain the edge between sharpenings. The knife should be hand-washed and dried rather than put through a commercial dishwasher, as repeated machine washing can affect the handle and blade finish over time.
