- Top-Tier Edge: The German steel holds its sharpness remarkably well, even with heavy daily use.
- Handle Finish: While hygienic, the solid plastic lacks the grippy feel of premium composite handles.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Patch Café in York needed to upgrade their kitchen tools to better manage their busy lunch service and improve their food safety practices. They were particularly concerned about cross-contamination between their popular ploughman's lunch and their fresh salad bowls.
"We were constantly reminding staff to use separate boards and knives, but mistakes happen in a rush. Bringing in the Dick colour-coded knives, starting with this green one for all our salad and fruit, removed the guesswork entirely. It’s such a simple, visual system."
Michael Davies – Owner
After implementing the system, the café noted a significant improvement in workflow and completely eliminated cross-contamination worries, helping them secure a 5-star food hygiene rating during their next inspection.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash the knife thoroughly with warm, soapy water and dry it before its first use.
- Assign a dedicated home for it, ideally on a green-marked section of a magnetic knife rack.
- Brief your team: make it clear that this green knife is exclusively for fruit and salad prep.
- Pair it with a green chopping board to complete your HACCP-compliant station.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand-wash and dry immediately after use. Dishwashers can damage the blade's edge and handle.
- Regularly hone the blade with a sharpening steel (a few strokes before each use is ideal) to maintain its sharpness.
- Store safely on a magnetic rack or in a knife block to protect the blade and prevent accidents.
- Never use it to cut through bone, frozen food, or other hard items as this can chip the blade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?
A: It's strongly recommended to hand-wash and dry the knife immediately after use. This protects the fine-honed edge of the blade from the harsh detergents and high heat of a commercial dishwasher.
Q: What is the blade made from?
A: It’s crafted from high-quality German stainless steel, which is renowned for its ability to take and hold a very sharp edge while resisting corrosion.
Q: What exactly is the green handle for?
A: The green colour follows the industry-standard HACCP system, designating this knife for use with fresh salads and fruit only. This helps prevent the spread of bacteria from other food types.
Q: How often will I need to sharpen it?
A: This depends entirely on usage. In a busy commercial kitchen, you should hone it with a steel before each use to maintain the edge, and it may require a full sharpening every few weeks.
Q: Is the handle comfortable for long periods of use?
A: Yes, its ergonomic plastic handle and overall lightweight design are specifically intended to minimise hand and wrist fatigue during long, repetitive chopping tasks.
Q: Can I use this for cutting raw meat or bread?
A: To maintain food safety and HACCP standards, you absolutely should not. Use the correctly colour-coded knife for each food group, such as red for raw meat and white for bakery items.
Q: Is the blade flexible or stiff?
A: As a classic chef knife, it has a sturdy, stiff blade designed for precise and powerful chopping and dicing. It does not have the flexibility of a filleting knife.
Q: What does 'Pro Dynamic' signify?
A: 'Pro Dynamic' is the name of this particular series from Dick, indicating it's designed with the performance, hygiene and durability standards required by professional chefs in dynamic, fast-paced kitchens.

Explore more from DickWhat Does HACCP Colour-Coding Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?
You see 'HACCP Colour-Coded' on lots of equipment, but what does it really mean on a busy Tuesday service? Think of it like a traffic light system for your chopping boards and knives. Each colour has a dedicated job, and green is the universal signal for 'Salad and Fruit'. By strictly using a Dick HACCP chef knife 21.6cm for your greens, you create a simple, visual barrier that physically stops bacteria from a raw meat board (typically red) from ever making it into a fresh salad. It's not just about ticking a box; it's one of the most powerful, low-tech ways to prevent cross-contamination, protect your customers, and show any health inspector that you run a tight ship.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for the main kitchen line, ensuring salad and fruit prep is always kept separate and safe.
- School & Hospital Kitchens: Where strict HACCP compliance is essential, this knife makes food safety simple and highly visible.
- Local Greengrocers & Delis: Ideal for staff preparing fresh fruit and veg for sale, ensuring a professional and hygienic finish.
- Catering Colleges & Training Kitchens: An affordable, durable choice for teaching students the importance of proper knife skills and colour-coding.
