Premier WACS

Friedr. Dick sets new standards in the culture of cutting with forged knives. Unique in the sector of forged chef’s knives, Friedr Dick now distributes its Premium Chef’s Knives series with antibacterial non-stick coating, polished edge and perfect handle. Premier WACS is the unique composition of a hygienic non-stick coating and a precious handle in mother-of-pearl optics.

Both, Friedr. Dick and the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS), speak up for the similar objects and aim highest qualities. The World Association of Chefs' Societies (WACS) was founded in October 1928 in Paris. Today, this global body is made up of over 75 international member nations and more than eight million chefs. The acting WACS president, Gissur Gudmunsson has set priorities that are based on C-H-E-F: CUISINE, HOSPITALITY, EDUCATION and FOOD. Friedr. Dick has, therefore, developed the knife series Premier WACS according to the high specifications of WACS.

The knives are forged from one piece of steel and are perfectly balanced. The high-quality coating on the blade effectively prohibits the cutting material to stick on it. Furthermore, the knives are easy to clean. Due to the ceramic particles, the coating is highly wear resistant and secures best gliding properties and reduced effort.

Each user is brought up short by the uncompromising sharpness when using these knives the first time. Superior, soft, straightforward and effortless are only a few of the catchwords and impressions that come to your mind when using a Premier WACS knife for the first time. The food stuff will be cut exactly and without effort. Nothing gets broken, crushed or torn. Precious flavorings are preserved.
Due to the slender blade, the polished edge and the special non-stick coating, cutting will be an “agravic” pleasure. The knives are easy to guide and produce a stunning, perfect cut. The cutting material will not be broken or crushed. The aesthetic plastic handle in mother-of-pearl optic which is also haptic in shape and volume, provides a secure and pleasant grip on the knife. A special production process guarantees that the blade and the handle are seamless between bolster and handle and, therefore, the knives are hygienically impeccable.

Friedr. Dick, manufacturer of high quality knives made another forceful step towards perfection and thus to the requirements of the fine art of cooking of with the aim to reach the best.

Gissur Gudmundsson (WACS President) says:
“My first set of knives was a set of F. Dick Knives. They took me through my seven years of culinary studies and beyond. Chefs have certain needs as to how a knife should feel, carry, and perform as we cook. F. Dick Knives offer me this because they are well balanced, trustworthy and accurate. This certainly comes from the over two centuries of care, good craftsmanship and evolution that F. Dick Knives has. The new handcrafted WACS series that we have been working on together is my new favorite. More precise and durable it also has a personality that only hand-made products have. I would recommend this knife to any serious chef, cook or culinary student.”
