In 1905, when innovation was reshaping the industrial world, Friedr. Dick made history with the introduction of a revolutionary knife design. The F. DICK Design Series 1905 – a masterpiece of craftsmanship and timeless style – celebrates its 120th anniversary this year, continuing to unite generations of professional and home chefs around the world.
This piece of living history represents not only Friedr. Dick and the F. DICK brand, but also generations of professional and amateur chefs who have developed their passion for cooking with a 1905 knife in their hands.
By replacing traditional rivets with solid stainless-steel rings that seamlessly joined the handle and blade, a bold statement of innovation and elegance a bold design statement that uniquely combined craftsmanship, function, and aesthetics. This characteristic feature has been retained to this day.
