Why this slicer earns its place
The Dick 1905 range is built around a moulded handle with symmetrical steel rings that are inseparably connected to it, which the manufacturer says makes the knife one of the strongest on the market. That gives the slicer a very solid feel before you even get to the blade.
The blade is made from German steel and has a unique, dynamic and sharp cutting edge. The product is forged, black in colour and listed as suitable for salad, fruit and vegetables, so it is aimed at clean prep work rather than heavy-duty chopping.
The knife is described as perfectly balanced and ergonomically shaped, which is exactly what you want from a slicer that will be used repeatedly through service. It is a light tool too, with a gross weight of 0.31 kg, so it stays manageable in the hand.
