Friedr . Dick has focused on sharpness since 1778: a success story that began with a small file cutter workshop in the southern German town of Esslingen, which developed into a high - quality business with a complete product range for chefs and butchers and evolved from a file specialist to a paragon for really good knives. Strict quality criteria and high design standards characterise the traditional brand for professionals, which is now finding its way into domestic kitchens. Every Friedr. Dick knife is made of th e highest quality steel and impresses with perfectly balanced blades as well as ergonomically shaped handles for perfect cutting results. The long - standing tradition and experience of manufacturing products for professionals allow us to continuously develo p innovative new products.
