Why this chefs knivesbutchers knive earns its place
Friedr. Dick's AJAX isn't a kitchen knife that compromises. Its 22 cm blade traces back to the design of a real cleaver — a tool built for butchers and meat traders who knew what they needed. The geometry's proven: it glides through meat like steel through butter, and when it hits a small bone, it keeps going. Not with effort. With design.
Stainless steel throughout means zero fuss. No patina stories, no seasoning rituals — just a blade that takes an edge and holds it. At 430 grams, it has substance without becoming a workout. The balance point sits where your hand naturally grips, so extended butchery work doesn't fatigue your forearm. That matters when you're cutting volume.
But the AJAX isn't locked into meat work. It cuts poultry cleanly. It slices fruit and vegetables with precision. It's a real all-rounder because the geometry doesn't lie — a blade designed for toughness stays tough on everything else. The 1905 series is Dick's signal that this sits at the professional end of the range. Lifetime warranty backs it.
