Product Overview
Stepping into a professional kitchen means having tools that work as hard as you do, and nothing is more fundamental than a truly reliable knife.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Root Cellar, a bustling vegetarian deli in Cardiff, needed to streamline their kitchen workflow and tighten up their food safety practices to cope with growing demand for their fresh salads and sandwiches.
“We were using generic knives for everything, and it was a constant worry. Switching to a proper colour-coded system with these Dick knives was a simple move, but the impact was immediate. The brown-handled knife lives at our salad station now, and the team works faster and with more confidence.”
Ben Carter – Owner, The Root Cellar
The change resulted in a measurable 15% reduction in vegetable preparation time and completely eliminated cross-contamination risks from their workflow.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Care
- Give the knife a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Assign it to your vegetable preparation area to embed the HACCP system from day one.
- Always hold by the handle, and respect the factory-sharp blade.
Keeping It Sharp & Safe
- Hand-wash and dry your knife immediately after use to protect the blade's edge. Avoid abrasive scourers.
- Regularly use a honing steel (a few strokes before each use) to maintain the blade's alignment and sharpness.
- Store it safely on a magnetic wall rack, in a knife block, or in a protective sheath. Never leave it loose in a drawer.
- Get it professionally sharpened every few months to a year, depending on the intensity of use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?
A: While the materials can withstand a dishwasher, we strongly recommend hand-washing and immediate drying. This protects the fine edge of the blade and ensures the knife lasts as long as possible.
Q: What does the brown handle signify in the HACCP system?
A: The brown handle is the industry standard colour for preparing all types of vegetables, both root and salad. This helps prevent cross-contamination from other food groups.
Q: What exactly is 'German Stainless Steel'?
A: It refers to a specific type of steel alloy (X50CrMoV15) that is renowned for its excellent durability, stain resistance, and ability to hold a sharp edge, making it perfect for the rigours of a professional kitchen.
Q: How often will I need to sharpen this knife?
A: With regular honing before each use (using a honing steel), you should only need to properly re-sharpen the blade every few months, depending on how heavily it's used.
Q: Is the handle slippery when wet?
A: No, the Pro Dynamic handle is designed from a non-slip plastic polymer that provides a secure and comfortable grip, even in wet or greasy conditions.
Q: Can I use this for meat if I wash it properly?
A: To maintain food safety and adhere to HACCP standards, you should never use this knife for anything other than vegetables. Use a dedicated red-handled knife for raw meat.
Q: What is the best way to store this food prep knife with a brown handle?
A: The safest methods are on a magnetic knife rack, in a proper knife block, or within a protective blade sheath. This protects the edge from damage and prevents accidents.
Q: Is the blade stiff or flexible?
A: This is a chef's knife, so it has a sturdy, stiff blade designed for precise and efficient chopping, slicing, and dicing of vegetables. It is not flexible like a filleting knife.

Ever wondered what the different coloured handles on professional kitchen knives are all about? It’s not for decoration; it’s a crucial safety system called HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). Think of it as a simple traffic light system for your ingredients. Red means stop and think 'raw meat', blue is for 'fish', white for 'dairy', and this brown handle means 'go' for vegetables. It’s a brilliantly simple, visual way to prevent harmful bacteria from, say, raw chicken, accidentally ending up in a fresh salad via a contaminated knife. Using a dedicated brown handled professional chef knife for veg is one of the easiest and most effective steps you can take to ensure your kitchen is a safe one.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Pubs: An essential knife for the veg prep station, ensuring speed and safety during busy services.
- Vegetarian & Vegan Cafes: The perfect dedicated tool for safely handling large volumes of vegetables without cross-contamination.
