Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Forth & Clyde Carvery' in Glasgow needed to streamline their meat preparation area to keep up with their popular Sunday service and tighten up their HACCP procedures. They replaced their mismatched knives with a set of Dick Pro Dynamic colour-coded knives.
"The difference was immediate. The red handle means no one grabs the wrong knife in a rush. It feels great to use, holds its edge well through a busy weekend, and just makes the whole process smoother and safer for everyone on the team."
Liam McGregor – Head Chef
The change resulted in a 20% faster turnaround on meat prep and helped them score top marks in their next environmental health inspection.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Wash the knife thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Designate a specific, safe storage spot for it, ideally on a magnetic rack or in a knife block.
- Brief your team that this red-handled knife is strictly for raw meat preparation.
- Familiarise yourself with the balance and feel before tackling a big job.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash your knife. Dishwashers can damage the blade and handle.
- Use a honing steel regularly (e.g., at the start of each day) to maintain the blade's alignment.
- Store it properly to protect the edge and prevent accidents. Never leave it loose in a drawer.
- Consider a professional sharpening service once or twice a year to restore the factory edge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 'Pro Dynamic' series mean?
A: The Pro Dynamic series by Dick is designed specifically for intense, professional use. It features a hygienic solid plastic handle and a quality blade, offering great performance at an excellent price point.
Q: What is a HACCP red handle for?
A: The red colour is part of the HACCP food safety system and designates this knife for use with raw meat only, helping to prevent cross-contamination with other foods.
Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?
A: We strongly recommend hand-washing only. The harsh detergents and high heat in a commercial dishwasher can dull the blade's edge and potentially damage the handle over time.
Q: How often should I sharpen it?
A: You should hone the knife with a steel before each use to keep the edge aligned. Depending on usage, it will likely need professional sharpening 1-2 times per year.
Q: Is the blade flexible or stiff?
A: As a chef knife, it has a sturdy, stiff blade designed for chopping and slicing, not for filleting. This provides stability and control for all-purpose tasks.
Q: What’s special about German stainless steel?
A: German steel is known for its durability and ability to hold a sharp edge for a long time. It strikes a great balance between being hard enough to stay sharp and soft enough to be easily re-sharpened.
Q: What is the best way to store this knife?
A: The safest methods are on a magnetic knife strip, in a dedicated knife block, or in a knife roll. Avoid leaving it loose in a drawer where the blade can be damaged or cause injury.
Q: Is this suitable for a home cook?
A: Absolutely! While designed for professional kitchens, its quality and ergonomic features make it a superb, long-lasting choice for any serious home cook.
The Dick Advantage: A Cut Above for Professionals
Choosing a Friedr. Dick knife is about more than just buying a sharp piece of steel; it's an investment in centuries of German engineering and a commitment to quality trusted by chefs and butchers worldwide since 1778.

This focus on durability means fewer replacements, less time spent constantly sharpening inferior blades, and greater consistency in your prep work. For a business, that translates to lower long-term costs, improved kitchen safety, and the peace of mind that comes from using a tool specifically built for the relentless pace of a professional environment.
Explore more from DickWhy a HACCP Compliant Chef Knife is a Kitchen Essential
Ever wonder what the different coloured handles on kitchen equipment are all about? It’s part of a system called HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), which is a fancy way of saying 'a system to stop food poisoning'. Each colour has a job. This knife's red handle is universally recognised for use with raw meat only.
Think of it like a dedicated lane on a motorway. By keeping raw meat and its juices strictly in the 'red lane', you prevent dangerous bacteria from crossing over to 'other lanes' like ready-to-eat salads (green) or cooked meats (yellow). This simple visual cue is one of the easiest and most effective ways to run a safer, more professional kitchen and protect your customers.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Butchers: Perfect for breaking down primal cuts and preparing portions with a dedicated, HACCP compliant chef knife.
- Restaurant Kitchens: An essential tool for the meat station, ensuring food safety and prep efficiency during service.
- Event Caterers: A lightweight, reliable knife that's easy to transport and crucial for safe food prep on-site.
- Pub & Gastropub Chefs: Ideal for prepping steaks, roasts, and burgers, keeping your kitchen organised and compliant.
