People. Tools. Knowledge. We have been bringing them together in harmony for more than 170 years. Dictum provides inspiring tools and materials for those who create lasting values with their own hands. A nice feel and ergonomic shape, quality materials and good workmanship - there are many factors that combine to make first-class tools. Before we decide to recommend a product to our customers, it must meet a number of criteria: Our quality assurance standards are very high. Our unique tools - many of which we manufacture ourselves with great precision and attention to detail - stand our customers in excellent stead, day in, day out. High-quality steels, blades with outstanding edge life and our individual sharpening service ensure that you can enjoy our superior products for many a year. We practise traditional values and preserve ancient knowledge, but still, we keep up with the times. Driven by a passion for crafts, our enthusiastic and accomplished team develops innovative products - often working closely with our customers - and redefines "craftsmanship" in keeping with modern times. Over many years we have created a portfolio of tools, materials and knives to meet the highest demands. DICTUM makes long-lasting products with absolute conviction. They are free of pollutants and harmful substances, and their origins are guaranteed and documented. We call this "fidelity of origin". Japanese saws, for example, are made exactly where the name implies. We attach great importance to honest dealings with our customers, business partners and staff. Because DICTUM is about more than just tools. ## Key features - Access current catalogues - Download for offline use - Interactive shop links - Bookmarks and notes - High-performance search - Shelf view ## Recent user reviews (2 of 2) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dictum/id1611024375/reviews.md ### 2/5 — Wer suchet, der findet (nicht immer) *2024-02-04* Um es kurz zu machen: ich will nicht in einer App stundenlang herumblättern. Insofern fehlt eine übergeordnete Suchfunktion. Ich habe nämlich wenig Lust, sage und schreibe 26 Kataloge durchzublättern, um das zu finden was ich suche, ohne zu wissen, wo es angeordnet ist. Also etwa so: Eingabe eines Stichwortes in die Lupenfunktion und die App springt direkt zum Artikel, egal in welchen Katalog der liegt. Das wäre sehr hilfreich und zeitsparend. Im übrigen hätte man lieber den Printkatalog belassen und dafür einen Preis bezahlt. Schließlich war der Katalog auch immer ein kleines Kunstwerk an sich. ### 3/5 — Kann man sich wirklich sparen *2024-01-22* Den Papierkatalog kann diese App leider nicht ersetzen. Wenn schon papierlos, dann bevorzuge ich immer noch den Onlineshop. Der hat zwar auch seine Schwächen, aber immerhin gibt es dort wenigstens auch Preise. ## Frequently asked questions about DICTUM ### Does DICTUM have ads? Yes, DICTUM contains advertisements.
