Questions & Answers
The best source of information is to go to Youtube and search for "how to sharpen a serrated bread knife." We used to offer sharpening services in our retail stores many years ago. The outer edges were sharpened like a straight edge, and the valleys of the serration were done with diamond and then ceramic round rods. With a slow moving belt sharpener, we'd finish by stropping the outer edge and valleys with leather. It takes a while for these to become dull, but we've seen restaurant kitchens sharpen them using only round diamond and ceramic rods, or by using a F. Sharpener with both Dick and Diammark.
This model differs from the previous one in several ways. This model comes from the Pro-Line collection. The Dynamic line and the Superior line, which is more expensive, both use the same blade materials, but there are some differences that raise manufacturing costs for both materials and labor to produce the knives. The Pro- Dynamic has a smaller tang and a thinner blade. In addition, it makes use of a more cost-effective polymer, and the handle is a narrower version that uses less polymer. The procedure for creating the Pro- Dynamic is also simpler because the handle and tang are injection molded, which is a faster and less labor-intensive process than Superior. Superior has a higher polish on the blade, as well as a longer tang with a riveted handle attached to it. As a result, the Superior employs more steel in its construction. After the Superior's handle has been riveted to the tang, the handle and rivets are smoothed out to create a seamless fit. As a result, the Superior's labor requirements have grown. The Superior also has a larger handle.

After unpacking my new F Dick 7-in-1, one of the first things I noticed was With the moisture on my hand, the handle of the inch offset serrated slicer became slick almost immediately; I had hoped for a soft rubber grip, but it was both slick and grainy from the start. I haven't even attempted to cut with it yet. Perhaps first impressions aren't always accurate.
I went on Amazon and found an article about a chef who always uses the knife. I placed a $35 order for one for myself. WOW, a great knife slices everything like butter, including bread, frozen meat, and a large chunk of parmesan cheese. I was so pleased that I placed an order for one for my daughter as well. AN EXCELLENT KNIFE AT AN EXCELLENT PRICE.
It works on almost any surface.
When a serrated knife is required, use this one. Cuts through anything with a soft center that you don't want to crush while cutting in a hurry. It's easier to handle and cut nice, even slices because of the z shape. For the quality of the knife, the price is very reasonable.
My old serrated knife had seen better days, so I decided to give an offset handle a try. I was surprised at how good it felt in my hand, and the knife itself seemed to be of good quality. It has made me very happy.
It's so sharp that I used it to halve a Costco chicken, but it also slices tomatoes into thin slices. Years ago, I wish I'd had this knife.
Knuckle protection in a great shape. It does exactly what it says.
Love it!.
