Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The blade's serration is aggressive enough for hard crusts but gentle on soft bread.
- Con: The classic handle design, while durable, lacks the modern ergonomic grip some chefs prefer.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Flour Pot, a popular artisan bakery in Brighton, needed to upgrade their bread knives to handle the tough crusts of their best-selling sourdough loaves without compressing the delicate crumb. Their old knives were crushing the bread, leading to waste and inconsistent slices for their cafe.
"The Dick Superior knife made an immediate difference. The blade just glides through the crustiest loaves with no effort. Our slices are cleaner, more consistent, and our bakers aren't fighting with the bread anymore. It's just a solid, reliable piece of kit."
Robert Miller – Head Baker
The switch resulted in a noticeable reduction in bread waste and sped up their morning slicing process by over 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Always wash and dry the knife thoroughly before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Familiarise yourself with the knife's balance and weight before tackling your first loaf.
- Ensure your cutting board is stable, clean, and made from a suitable material like wood or composite.
Keeping It Going
- Hand wash only with warm, soapy water and dry immediately to protect the blade's integrity. Avoid dishwashers.
- Store it in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a sheath to protect the edge and prevent accidents.
- Serrated knives require special tools for sharpening; have it professionally serviced when the edge begins to dull.
- Regularly check the handle rivets are secure and the handle is free from cracks or damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?
A: We strongly recommend hand washing only. The harsh detergents and high heat in a commercial dishwasher can damage the blade's edge and the handle over time.
Q: How long is the blade on the Dick Superior bread knife 26cm?
A: The blade itself is 26cm, or 10 inches, which is perfect for slicing through large commercial-sized loaves of bread.
Q: Can I use this knife to cut things other than bread?
A: Absolutely. Its serrated edge is also excellent for slicing through foods with a tough skin and soft inside, like large tomatoes, melons, or even blocks of cake.
Q: Is the handle non-slip?
A: The synthetic handle is designed for a secure grip, but as with any knife, you should always ensure your hands are dry and free from grease for maximum safety.
Q: How do you sharpen a serrated bread knife?
A: Sharpening a serrated knife requires a special tapered sharpening rod to hone each serration individually. For best results, we recommend professional sharpening services.
Q: What is the benefit of a serrated knife over a straight-edged one for bread?
A: The serrations grip and saw through the hard crust without needing much pressure, which prevents you from squashing the soft crumb inside. It ensures a clean, neat slice.
Q: Is this knife suitable for a professional bakery?
A: Yes, this Dick Superior bakery knife is specifically designed for the demands of a commercial kitchen or bakery, offering durability and high performance.
Q: What is the knife's overall weight?
A: It weighs just 0.31kg, making it lightweight and well-balanced to help reduce fatigue during repetitive slicing tasks.

Explore more from DickWhy a Serrated Edge Makes All the Difference
Ever tried cutting a tomato with a blunt knife? You end up squashing it. The same principle applies to bread. A plain-edged knife relies on pressure, which crushes the soft interior of a loaf before it can break through the tough crust. A serrated edge, like the one on this Dick Superior bakery knife, works completely differently.
Think of it like a saw. The small, sharp 'teeth' (the serrations) grip the crust and saw through it with minimal downward pressure. This lets the blade do the work, not your muscle. The result is a clean slice that preserves the bread's airy texture, rather than a squashed, mangled mess. It’s the secret to professional-looking slices every time.
