- Best Bit: The serrated edge is incredibly effective, giving a clean cut with minimal crumb.
- Consideration: Its purely functional handle lacks the ergonomic moulding of more premium knives.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Bakewell Pantry' in Bakewell, Peak District, were finding their existing bread knives were struggling with their popular crusty cobs, leading to wastage and inconsistent slices for their sandwich counter. They needed a robust, sharp, and reliable replacement.
"The difference was immediate. The Dick knife glides through our toughest sourdoughs without any pressure. We're getting perfect, clean slices every single time, which has made our sandwich prep so much faster and neater."
David Chen – Head Baker
Since switching, The Bakewell Pantry has reduced bread wastage from miss-cuts by over 10% and improved the speed of their sandwich line during the busy tourist season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Setup
- Always give the knife a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Dry it completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Designate a safe and secure storage place, like a knife block or magnetic strip.
- Be mindful! The blade is extremely sharp right out of the box.
Keeping It Going
- Hand-wash only. Dishwasher detergents are harsh and can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.
- Clean the knife immediately after use, especially after cutting acidic foods.
- Dry thoroughly straight after washing to maintain the steel's integrity.
- For serrated knives, professional sharpening is recommended when the blade eventually dulls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?
A: We strongly recommend hand-washing only. Dishwashers can be abrasive, potentially dulling the blade and degrading the handle over many cycles.
Q: How do I sharpen a serrated knife?
A: Sharpening serrated blades requires a special tool and technique. For best results and to maintain the blade's profile, we recommend using a professional sharpening service when needed.
Q: What type of steel is the blade made from?
A: It's crafted from high-quality German stainless steel, known for its excellent durability and ability to hold a sharp edge.
Q: Is the handle non-slip?
A: The handle is made from a solid, hygienic plastic that offers a firm and secure grip, even in a busy kitchen environment.
Q: Can I use this for cutting anything other than bread?
A: Absolutely. It's also excellent for slicing soft-skinned fruits and vegetables like tomatoes and aubergines, as well as large cakes or even blocks of cheese.
Q: How long is the blade?
A: The blade measures 21.6cm, or 8.5 inches, making it ideal for tackling larger loaves and food items.
Q: Is it a heavy knife?
A: No, it's designed to be lightweight at just 130g. This helps reduce user fatigue during long periods of use.
Q: Does the knife come with a sheath?
A: This knife is sold without a sheath. We recommend storing it in a knife block, on a magnetic rack, or in a protective cutlery drawer insert to keep the blade safe and sharp.

Explore more from DickMore Than Just Teeth: How a Serrated Edge Protects Your Bread
Ever wondered why a serrated knife is essential for bread? Think of it like using a saw for wood. A plain, straight-edged blade acts like an axe – it relies on downward pressure, which squashes and compresses the delicate, airy crumb inside the loaf before it even starts cutting the tough crust. The result? A flattened, mangled slice.
The serrated edge of the Dick Pro Dynamic serrated knife works differently. The points of the 'teeth' pierce the crust first, and then the scalloped edges between them act like tiny individual knives, sawing through the crust without needing much pressure. This action grips the surface and slices cleanly through, preserving the bread's texture and height. It's the secret to getting a perfect slice from a crusty farmhouse loaf or a delicate brioche every single time.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Bakeries: For perfectly portioning crusty sourdoughs, ciabattas, and rye loaves without tearing or crushing the crumb.
- Cafés and Sandwich Bars: Essential for high-volume sandwich making, ensuring every slice is uniform for perfect presentation.
- Hotel & Restaurant Kitchens: A reliable tool for the bread station, prepping table baskets, and slicing for croutons or toast.
- Catering Companies: A durable and lightweight knife that's perfect for on-the-go event prep and buffet service.
