Dick Premier Plus Ham Slicer 28cm

The F. Dick Premier Plus Ham Slicer is a forged professional knife designed specifically for slicing cooked meats, cured hams, and charcuterie. With a 280mm blade length, it provides the reach needed to work cleanly through larger joints in a single draw, reducing the need for multiple passes that can compress or tear the meat.

In a working kitchen or deli counter environment, consistent slice quality matters — both for presentation and for portion control. The blade is manufactured from chromium stainless steel, which gives it reliable resistance to corrosion in humid prep areas and through regular washing cycles. The forged construction contributes to good balance along the length of the knife, which helps reduce fatigue during repetitive slicing tasks.

Practically, this knife suits operations where slicing cooked or cured meats is a regular part of service prep rather than an occasional task. It works well in hotel kitchens, delis, gastro pubs, and catering operations where a purpose-built slicer offers more control than a general-purpose carving knife. At 140g it is a lighter knife, which some operators prefer for extended prep work.

It is worth noting that this is a hand-slicing knife rather than a replacement for a mechanical slicing machine. For high-volume operations producing large quantities of uniform slices at speed, a machine slicer would be the more practical choice. The Premier Plus Ham Slicer is best suited to kitchens where hand-sliced presentation is the preference, or where volume does not justify a dedicated machine.

If you are unsure whether this knife suits your prep requirements, or if you are looking at building out a broader knife kit, we are happy to talk it through.
