Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Prawn & Scallop, a bustling seafood restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall, needed to streamline their fish prep station to keep up with summer demand and reinforce their 5-star hygiene rating. They replaced their mismatched knives with a set of Dick Pro Dynamic HACCP-coded knives.
"Switching to the Dick knives immediately brought a new level of organisation to our kitchen. The blue knife is now the only one our chefs reach for when prepping fish. It’s sharp, reliable, and the colour coding takes the guesswork out of safety."
David Chen – Head Chef
The change resulted in a 30% faster fish prep time during peak hours and completely eliminated instances of cross-contamination during internal audits.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- First Use Wash: Before its first use, give the knife a good wash with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- Assign a Home: Store it in a designated spot, like a magnetic knife rack or knife block, to protect the blade and ensure it's only used for its intended purpose.
- Team Briefing: Make sure your team knows that the blue-handled knife is exclusively for raw fish.
Keeping It Going
- Hand Wash Only: To protect the blade's integrity and sharpness, always wash by hand. Dishwasher detergents can be abrasive.
- Hone Regularly: Use a honing steel frequently (even daily in a busy kitchen) to realign the blade's edge and maintain its sharpness.
- Sharpen as Needed: When honing no longer brings the edge back, have it professionally sharpened or use a quality whetstone.
- Dry Immediately: Never leave the knife to air dry or sit in water, as this can lead to corrosion over time. Dry it straight after washing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the blue handle signify in the HACCP system?
A: The blue colour is universally designated for preparing raw fish and seafood, helping to prevent cross-contamination with other food types.
Q: Is this knife suitable for a professional kitchen?
A: Absolutely. The Dick Pro Dynamic range is specifically designed to meet the high demands of commercial kitchens, offering durability, hygiene, and lasting sharpness.
Q: Is it dishwasher safe?
A: We strongly recommend hand-washing. The high temperatures and harsh detergents in a commercial dishwasher can dull the blade and degrade the handle over time.
Q: How long is the blade?
A: The blade measures 20.3cm, which is equivalent to 8 inches—a popular and versatile size for a chef's knife.
Q: What is German stainless steel?
A: It refers to a specific high-carbon stainless steel alloy known for being tough, stain-resistant, and capable of holding a very sharp edge for a long time.
Q: Can I use this knife for vegetables or meat?
A: While the blade can cut other foods, its blue handle means it should *only* be used for raw fish to comply with food safety standards.
Q: How often will I need to sharpen it?
A: With regular honing, the knife will only need sharpening every few months, depending on usage. In a very busy kitchen, you might do it more often.
Q: Is the handle grippy when wet?
A: The handle is made from a solid, hygienic plastic. While it offers a secure grip, like any smooth surface, extra care should be taken when hands are wet or oily.

Think of it like a traffic light system for your kitchen, where each colour signals a specific food group to prevent dangerous bacteria from spreading.
This knife's blue handle instantly tells everyone in the kitchen, from the head chef to the kitchen porter, that it is strictly for use with raw fish.

It's a simple, foolproof way to uphold the highest hygiene standards and protect your customers.
