Product Description
The Dick Premier Plus 2-Piece Set pairs an 8-inch chef's knife with a 3-inch paring knife, both manufactured in chromium stainless steel. Dick is a long-established German knife brand with a strong presence in professional kitchens, and the Premier Plus range sits at a practical mid-point — well made, straightforward to maintain, and suited to daily use in a working kitchen environment.
Both knives are forged from X50CrMoV15 steel, a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy widely used in professional cutlery for its balance of edge retention and ease of honing. The steel takes a sharp edge readily and responds well to regular honing on a steel between services, which is standard practice in any busy kitchen. The blade and handle join without gaps, which matters for hygiene compliance and makes cleaning between tasks quicker and more thorough.
The ergonomic handle is shaped to sit securely in the hand during extended prep work, reducing fatigue over long service periods. The chef's knife handles the bulk of general prep — breaking down vegetables, portioning proteins, rough chopping — while the paring knife handles detail work such as trimming, peeling, and fine cuts.
- Seamless blade-to-handle construction aids hygiene and simplifies cleaning
- Chromium stainless steel holds an edge well under regular kitchen use
- Ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during extended prep sessions
- Suitable for both commis and experienced chefs as a reliable everyday pair
This set is packaged for gift presentation, making it a practical choice for new kitchen hires or as a structured addition to a brigade's knife kit. It is not intended as a replacement for a full knife roll, but as a solid core pairing for everyday tasks.
If you're equipping a team or building out your knife inventory and want to talk through what works across different kitchen roles, we're happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The Premier Plus range is designed for regular use in professional kitchens. The X50CrMoV15 steel is a well-established choice in commercial cutlery, offering good edge retention and straightforward maintenance with a honing steel between services.
- Regular honing with a steel before or during service will maintain the edge for longer between sharpenings. Hand washing and drying is recommended — dishwashers can blunt edges and degrade handle materials over time, which applies to most professional knives regardless of brand.
- The chef's knife and paring knife pairing covers a broad range of prep tasks, but most working chefs will want to supplement this with additional knives depending on their role — a boning knife, a serrated bread knife, or a filleting knife, for example. This set works well as a core pairing or as part of a broader kit.
