The interplay of the blade material, cutting edge shape and handle design of the PURE METAL AJAX knife achieves an exceptional cutting experience with intuitive handling. The style of the blade took its inspiration from our successful AJAX chef’s knife. The exceptionally wide blade surface, and the curved and super sharp cutting edge of the PURE METAL AJAX guarantee a clean cut without sawing and tearing. The PURE METAL AJAX has also been designed with every type of food in mind, making it a true all-rounder and an eye-catching tableware addition. The steak and table knife use the same tried-and-tested steel quality as our premium chef's knives.

The Pure Metal steak and dinner fork impresses with 4 longer, sturdy tines. These are perfect for holding and picking up thick pieces of meat. The weight is evenly distributed so that the fork is balanced and comfortable in the hand. The slightly wider shape of the fork is ideal for cutting potatoes and vegetables. The design of the fork follows the clear line and styling of the AJAX Pure Metal knife.

Made in Germany – native to the north – at home all over the world: VIVUM from Friedr. Dick

The unique power of nature combined in a new knife series – VIVUM.
Friedr. Dick is launching a new, individual and extraordinary knife series on the market. These unique knives combine a natural appearance with extreme sharpness: an elegant and specially shaped birch wood handle comes together with the highest quality knife steel and a modern blade design. The birch stands for life, strength, durability and reliability. It is not only the trunk that is easy to recognise but also its very special wood grains, which make every VIVUM handle unique. No two handles are the same. The new handle shapes not only look impressive but also sit snugly in your hand. The design is clear and expressive. The wood feels natural and lies comfortable in the hand. A feature that the surfer, photographer, restaurateur and outdoor chef Brian Bojsen also appreciates. "VIVUM has completely won me over. I love the grip and feel of the knives. For my kitchen over an open fire outdoors but also for everyday cooking at home – VIVUM is completely natural, super sharp and absolutely high-quality. The knives are perfect for me."

VIVUM stands for the desire for uniqueness and naturalness like no other knife series, in a move away from old designs. The craftsmanship clearly comes to the fore while the monotony fades into the background. The combination of the unusual blade shapes and the birch wood handles creates unique pieces that combine the power of nature and the strength of metal. The extraordinary blade shapes are in harmony with the birch wood handle and allow an even longer cutting motion. This makes it easier to cut the food and creates a unique cutting experience. The highlight of the series: the "ASADOR" knife, specially designed for use on barbecues. With its powerful blade, it cuts meat like butter and even larger pieces are not a problem. The VIVUM series stands for manual craftsmanship instead of serial uniformity. Back to the origins, back to craft work. As a unique piece, each knife is finished by hand by our experienced staff.

Friedr. Dick uses a special high-alloy steel for the VIVUM series because the steel quality significantly contributes to a sharp cutting experience. This steel offers excellent cutting performance, exceptional hardness and good corrosion resistance. During the hardening process, the blade is hardened under protective gas at 1,100 °C. The blades are then ice tempered down to -197° C to ensure the necessary flexibility and resilience of the knives and to optimise the material structure. This results in an optimal hardness of 58 HRC. The knives are therefore extremely sharp and ready for use in kitchens and on barbecues around the world.

Ultimate knife craftsmanship – an initial glance is enough to reveal the uniqueness: DarkNitro from Friedr. Dick

Friedr. Dick is setting a new benchmark in knife craftsmanship and cutting culture. Unique items are created from the interaction of the unique blade appearance with its hammered finish and the carbon look as well as the handle made of valuable indestructible oak wood.

Diversity and functionality have been the guiding principle at Friedr. Dick since the company began. This diversity is not based on short-lived trends, but on the different requirements and design requests of the users. With the DarkNitro series, Friedr. Dick has deliberately refrained from using visual fads and focused on the pure industrial design.

The anthracite blade is coloured by means of a special environmentally friendly process. This gives the knives their pure industrial beauty. The hammered finish on the blade underlines its uniqueness and functionality. The oak handle symbolises endurance, power and strength. The sharp and clear line of the handle reinforces the knife's aesthetics.

The knife is the extension of a chef’s arm. The harmony between the blade shape, bolster and handle must therefore be correct. The perfect cutting ability, ergonomic handle and bevelled bolster shape make the knives from the DarkNitro series a first-class knife and meet the highest requirements of professional chefs and ambitious amateur cooks The knife is ideally balanced and sits comfortably in the hand.

The extremely thin, sharp blade makes cutting a "weightless" pleasure. The hammered technique also creates many small air cushions between the blade and the food being cut. This makes it easier to remove any food from the blade surface and reduces the amount of food that sticks to the blade.

Friedr. Dick uses a special martensitic, stainless and nitrogen-alloyed steel in the DarkNitro series. This results in a unique combination of excellent cutting performance, exceptional hardness of 61 HRC and special corrosion resistance. For a perfect material structure, DarkNitro knives are forged in a special process and then ice-hardened at temperatures down to -197°. The very fine microstructure of the steel allows for simple sharpening, resulting in a very sharp cutting edge.

Friedr. Dick uses the finest robust oak wood for the handle. Oak trees are known for their longevity; a tree can grow over 800 years old. The oak tree is shrouded in legend and steeped in history and is known for being one of the main deciduous trees in Europe. Ships were built with oak as long as 1,000 years ago and until today, oak barrels are used to store special whisky and wine. So it’s no wonder that Friedr. Dick has chosen a handle from oak wood for the new unique series of knives.

The handle, ground by expert craftspeople at Friedr. Dick, makes each piece a unique item with its own colour character and wood grain. Each knife is an individual item because of the extraordinary and unique blade and handle surface and no two knives are the same. Thanks to the aesthetic, perfectly shaped handle, the knives sit safely and comfortably in the hand.
