F. DICKProDynamic Sandwich Knife - Offset bread knife with 7’’ blade & 56 HRC - Ideal for cutting bread - NSF Certified - High carbon - Ultra Sharp - Ergonomic handle - Made in Germany

Bought one of these years ago on the recommendation of Anthony Bourdain (RIP), who mentions them in his book, Kitchen Confidential. Love it. Still works great. Equipping a kitchen for a camper, and decided this was a must-have, and the new one is the same high quality. It's the go-to slicer for any bread, but we use it for a lot of other food prep, as well. It doesn't replace a chef's knife for everything, but it's a very useful tool and the offset handle is a real knuckle-saver.

I was in the market for some new knives, remembered the old recommendation from Antony Bourdain, bought this puppy, and am very impressed. It has a very comfortable, and secure, grip. It stays sharp. For sandwiches, hoagies and subs, this might be the only knife you really need.

As described. Beautiful knife. An absolute joy.Why anyone would put a knife in the dishwasher is astounding.The time it takes to wash, disinfect and wipe a knife is literally seconds.A good knife is like the King of your Kitchen.It’s the Royalty of your Kitchen.Along with our good Pans.They shouldn’t be pounded by harsh detergents and flailing food particles that beat them into submission.Even the most advanced dishwashers are not kind to our kitchen tools.A good hand washing is plenty good for sanitizing things.Even a busy mom or dad can take 10 minutes or so out of their busy day to do a proper wash up of a knife or pan.Or pay the kid to do it.

Reading Kitchen Confidential (great book!) and Anthony Bourdain wrote that this was the knife I needed so I ordered it. I have a drawer full of useless knives and was contemplating a 'good set' (aka expensive). I am just a mom looking to prepare meals though, so I took a chance on Bourdain's inexpensive suggestion. I am SO glad I read this passage and ordered this knife! It's amazing to me how easily this knife cuts fruit and vegetables. And the price (I paid $23 on here) is equally amazing. I love the handle too. I had never seen a knife shaped like this but the idea really works. I feel like I have more control when I am cutting. I hope Bourdain gets a cut from all the business because a lot of the reviews reference the same book passage as being their motivation to buy this knife too!

(UPDATE): it's about four years later and the knife still cuts really well. I bought my mom an identical replacement, and she gave me the old one I ordered a few years ago. There's no need for me to look for any other chef's knife, would still highly recommend this product.Bought this for my mom after reading about this type of knife in one of Anthony Bourdain's books. She loves it and uses it for everything one would use a regular chef's knife for. She has arthritis and mentioned to me that this knife was the first in a long time that didn't hurt for her to use, as the placement of the handle and extremely sharp edge give really good leverage.

I gave this knife to my son for Christmas and he loves it. He's a chef. It slices so well that he was at work using it, said he didn't have to saw on the bread at all, just one slice was getting through the bread. SO! He got going really fast and sliced through his finger! (He didn't have to saw that at all either!) 6 stitches. But he said that just shows how sharp the knife is. Apparently, when a knife "bites" the cook, it gets a name. He won't tell me the name because apparently, it is the first few words that came out of his mouth when it "bit" him. He still loves the knife though - I guess he'll be just a little more careful with it now.

Blade is not super sharp. Duller than an old knife I have just like it

I LOVE THIS KNIFE. IT'S MY FAVORITE GO TO KNIFE FOR A LARGE VARIETY OF TASKS. Fits in the hand nice, light, stays sharp, cleans up easy. A must have for the vet line cook/chef who needs a good versatile knife for sandwich cutting, onions, cucumbers & tomato slicing etc....Sharpens easy & quickly. 100% recommend this knife. I've been cooking for 29yrs & have MANY MANY knives. This Knife is my top choice at work for normal needs while in the thick of a rush. It's not a high end forged knife, it's just a stamped blade. Everyone else likes to use it but they know if I see them with it I'm going too become "unfriendly".Get one, you will appreciate it's versatility & utilitarian uses
