DICK® No. 4 Smoothing Plane

Planes have always been the symbol of carpentry. Nowadays, the "smoothed" (planed) surface is increasingly being replaced by surfaces finished with grinding machines - although no ground surface has a comparable shine or a nicer feel than a planed one.

DICK® No. 4 Smoothing Plane

With their Bedrock design, these planes allow chatter-free cutting thanks to the fully supported blade and a mouth that can be adjusted without removing the cap iron and blade. The rear handle, with its width of 26.5 mm, offers a comfortable grip even for large hands. Lateral blade adjustment through easy-to-reach lever. Cutting angle 45°. The standard smoothing plane is capable of taking the finest shavings from the most difficult woods.

Exclusive knife series by DICTUM

Tools reflect the state of our culture. The tools we use to cut food, for example, don't just say something about our cooking culture - but the quality of their blades, their refined shape and the effort that was put into their manufacture reflect our respect for what nature provides.

Exclusive knife series by DICTUM

A perfect combination of traditional Japanese blade shape and Western handle features the DICK-knife series. The breathtaking damask pattern consists of 32 layers stainless steel and a cutting edge of VG-10 steel. The cooking knives are forged and sharpened by hand on water stones by the Japanese master blacksmith. Rustproof, hardness approx. 62 HRC.

Pfeil® Chisels

A good chisel should be robust and break-proof, and provide a long edge life at maximum sharpness. Our product range includes Western as well as Japanese and Chinese chisels for any use.

Pfeil® Chisels

Precision-made chisels with a traditional design. Forged from a chrome/vanadium steel alloy, heat-treated in an electric furnace, then ground and polished by hand. The high quality of these chisels is exemplified by their uniform hardness (approx. 60 HRC) and homogeneous fine mirror polish. The blades come pre-sharpened, ready to use, and fitted with unvarnished hornbeam handles.

Shapton® Glass-Stone Series: Exclusive at DICTUM

The best cutting tool is of no use unless it is really sharp. How sharp you can get a tool depends on the steel, the geometry of the cutting edge, the skill of the person who is sharpening it and, above all, on selecting the best abrasive for the purpose.

Shapton® Glass-Stone Series: Exclusive at DICTUM

The premium range from Japanese company Shapton is the glass-stone series. The sharpening particles are highly pure and homogeneous. This is noticeable when changing to finer grits: The traces from the previous grit are quickly ground out. A special bond allows quick sharpening on a flat surface. The sharpening stone has a base of tempered glass and is thus 100% warp-free. White aluminium oxide abrasive.
