Product Overview
Getting your hands on a truly professional set of knives can transform your kitchen's entire workflow. This comprehensive Dick 6 piece knife set is designed for the serious chef who values precision, safety, and organisation. It brings together six essential, expertly crafted blades, from a powerhouse chef's knife to a nimble peeling knife, all housed in a tough, protective case that keeps them in peak condition.
Built for the demanding environments of commercial kitchens, culinary schools, and mobile catering units, this kit is the real deal. Each knife is forged from corrosion-resistant chrome-strengthened steel and features an ergonomically shaped handle for a comfortable, secure grip during long shifts. The real star, however, is the lockable magnetic case, which prevents blades from knocking together, keeping those ultra-sharp edges perfect for longer.

It’s a complete, ready-to-go solution that brings German engineering and professional-grade performance right to your prep station.

- Pro: The magnetic interior is brilliant; it prevents blade-on-blade contact, preserving sharpness.
- Con: The rigid case is noticeably bulkier than a roll for tight storage spaces.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Inn, a busy gastropub in Perth, Scotland, needed to standardise its kitchen tools to improve efficiency and safety. Their collection of mismatched, ageing knives was leading to inconsistent prep work and was a hassle to maintain and keep sharp.
"Having a full set of identical, high-quality knives for the team has made a huge difference. The magnetic case keeps them organised and, more importantly, incredibly sharp. Everyone knows where their tools are, and the quality is just superb."
Robert Grant – Head Chef
The upgrade resulted in a noticeable improvement in team morale and a 20% reduction in prep time for their intricate Sunday roast service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack the case and inspect each knife.
- Before the first use, hand wash each knife with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Familiarise yourself with each knife's purpose and designated spot in the magnetic case.
- Ensure the case is stored on a flat, stable surface away from high heat.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash your knives. Dishwashers use harsh detergents and high heat that can damage the steel and handles.
- Dry each knife immediately after washing to prevent water spots or any risk of corrosion.
- Use a honing steel regularly (e.g., before each main use) to maintain the blade's alignment and sharpness.
- Store the knives in the provided magnetic case when not in use to protect the edges and ensure safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these knives 'full tang'?
A: Yes, professional-grade knives like these are typically full tang, meaning the steel from the blade runs all the way through the handle, providing superior strength and balance.
Q: What is the best way to sharpen the blades?
A: For best results, use a high-quality whetstone for sharpening when the blade becomes dull, and a honing steel for regular alignment before use to maintain the edge.
Q: Can I put this set in the dishwasher?
A: We strongly advise against it. The high heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can damage the blade's temper, dull the edge, and harm the handle. Always hand wash.
Q: How strong are the magnets in the Dick magnetic knife case?
A: The magnets are specifically designed to hold the knives securely in place during transport, preventing them from shifting or coming loose inside the case.
Q: Is the chrome-strengthened steel fully rust-proof?
A: The steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust. However, to ensure a lifetime of use, it's always best practice to wash and dry them immediately after use and not leave them wet.
Q: What does 'ergonomically shaped' mean?
A: It means the handles are designed to fit the natural contour of your hand, providing a more comfortable, secure grip and reducing strain on your wrist during repetitive tasks.
Q: Is the case lockable?
A: Yes, the case features secure latches and is lockable (padlock not included), providing excellent security for your tools, especially in a shared kitchen or during transit.
Q: Are the knives sharp out of the box?
A: Yes, Dick knives are renowned for their exceptional factory sharpness and are ready for professional use straight out of the case.

Explore more from DickHow a Magnetic Case Protects Your Investment
Ever wondered why a hard magnetic case is a step up from a traditional knife roll? It's all about preventing microscopic damage. When knives are loose in a bag or even in separate slots in a fabric roll, travel and movement cause their fine cutting edges to knock against each other. This contact, even if it seems gentle, creates tiny nicks and chips that quickly dull the blade.
Think of the magnetic case as giving each knife its own secure, zero-contact parking space. The magnets hold each blade firmly in place, suspended and separated from its neighbours. This means the ultra-sharp edge you worked so hard to achieve stays perfect, ensuring your knives are always ready for precision work. It's the smartest way to protect the tools of your trade.
