About DICED - I’ve always loved Canadian-made knives, and DICED is about as Canadian as it gets. Based in the lower mainland of BC, DICED was founded by a fellow chef, Don Guthro. Along with organic material expert, designer, and wood specialist Riley Janzen, they craft kitchen scalpels that we’re very proud to carry at Knifewear.

Their team does every step of the blade-making process in-house, from grinding and heat-treating the steel to crafting the hardwood handles. I used to butcher dozens of animals every week, and these blades have the perfect balance of flex and rigidity for working around bones. The DICED team uses AEB-L steel which is equal parts hard and durable. They stay sharp for ages, but they don’t chip easily on bones the way a lot of Japanese blades will. They’re perfect for meat cutting.

Speaking of handling, the handles on these are spectacular! We’ve selected knives made with Canadian-grown hardwood, including maple, walnut, and cherry. The handles are ergonomically shaped and sanded to perfection, adding a rich flash of colour to an already stunning blade.

About the Shape - A flexible fillet knife made to precisely cut the meat away from bones and skin fillets with ease. Whether you're butchering a fresh caught trout, a side of pork, or a buck you just bagged, the West Coast Fillet is the ultimate flexible knife for the job.

Knife Care

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones, lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with your own teeth, don’t cut it.

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass, granite or bamboo.

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink” sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.

CLEANING

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them with some food safe wax.

STORING

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives. Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the edge from contacting the wood first.

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching anything else.
