Dick Premier Plus Asian Style Chef's Knife 21.6cm

The Dick Premier Plus Asian Style Chef's Knife is a forged chromium stainless steel knife with a blade profile influenced by Japanese kitchen tradition — flatter along the edge and with a thinner cross-section than a standard European chef's knife. At 21.6cm, it sits in the mid-range of chef's knife lengths and is a practical choice for general prep work where precision and control matter as much as raw cutting power.

In a busy kitchen environment, the Asian-style geometry suits tasks such as fine vegetable work, slicing fish, and detailed protein prep where a lighter, more responsive blade is preferred over a heavier Western profile. The chromium stainless steel construction resists corrosion well under the repeated washing and drying cycles typical of commercial use, and the forged build contributes to the balance and durability expected from a professional tool used daily.

Practically, the knife offers:

• A thinner blade profile for cleaner cuts through delicate ingredients
• Chromium stainless steel for reliable corrosion resistance in high-use kitchens
• Forged construction contributing to long-term balance and durability
• An ergonomically shaped handle designed to reduce fatigue during extended prep
• A versatile 21.6cm length suited to a wide range of prep tasks

Dick knives are routinely used in professional kitchens across the UK. The Premier Plus range sits within a broader catalogue that includes heavier options for high-volume butchery work and lighter alternatives for more intricate tasks, so it is worth considering your kitchen's primary prep requirements before selecting a blade.

If you're unsure whether this profile is the right fit for the kind of prep your kitchen handles most, the team are happy to help you think it through.
