Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Green Leaf Deli in Bristol was looking to tighten up its food safety protocols as part of a kitchen refresh. They switched their mismatched knives to a full set of Dick Pro Dynamic HACCP-coded knives to make compliance clear and simple for their entire team.
"The Dick knives were a simple but effective upgrade. Organisation is instantly better, our new starters get the system straight away, and the team knows exactly which knife to grab for which job. It's just less thinking and more doing."
Ben Carter – Owner, The Green Leaf Deli
The switch helped streamline their food safety checks and reduced vegetable prep time by an estimated 15% due to improved workflow.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before first use.
- Assign the knife to your dedicated fruit and vegetable preparation area.
- Brief your team on the green handle's meaning within your HACCP system.
- Ensure you have a safe storage spot, like a magnetic rack or knife block.
Keeping It Going
- Hand-wash to protect the blade's edge; dishwashers can be too abrasive.
- Hone the blade regularly with a sharpening steel to maintain its edge.
- Never use the knife to pry open tins or cut through bone or frozen food.
- Dry it completely before storing to prevent any risk of corrosion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this knife dishwasher safe?
A: While it can technically survive a dishwasher, we strongly recommend hand washing. The harsh detergents and high heat can dull the blade and degrade the handle over time. A quick wash in the sink is best.
Q: What does the green handle mean?
A: The green handle is part of the HACCP food safety system. It designates this knife for use with salads, fruits, and vegetables only, to prevent cross-contamination from other food types like raw meat.
Q: How often will I need to sharpen it?
A: This depends on usage. In a busy commercial kitchen, a light hone with a sharpening steel before each shift is good practice to maintain the edge. A full sharpen will be needed less frequently.
Q: What is German stainless steel?
A: It's a high-quality steel alloy renowned for its ability to hold a sharp edge, resist rust and stains, and withstand the rigours of a professional kitchen environment. It's tough and reliable.
Q: Can I use this for anything other than vegetables?
A: To comply with food safety standards, you should not. The green colour is a strict instruction to use it only for its designated food group to keep your customers safe.
Q: Is the handle slippery when wet?
A: The handle is made from a solid, hygienic plastic that is designed to provide a secure grip, even in a busy, wet kitchen environment.
Q: Does the blade have any flex?
A: No, this is a rigid blade. It's designed for precise, firm cuts like dicing and trimming, where a stiff blade provides more control.
Q: What's the difference between this and a supermarket paring knife?
A: This professional knife is built for durability and performance. It uses higher-grade steel that stays sharper for longer and features a commercial-grade, HACCP-compliant handle designed for safety and heavy use.
The Dick Advantage: German Engineering in Your Hand

Explore more from DickWhy a Green Handle is Your Secret Weapon for Food Safety
Ever wondered why professional kitchen knives come in different colours? It’s not for decoration! The colour coding is part of a food safety system called HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). Each colour is assigned to a specific food group to prevent cross-contamination – one of the biggest food poisoning risks. The green handle on this Dick Pro Dynamic HACCP paring knife green 7.6cm instantly signals that it should only be used for fruit, vegetables, and salads.
Think of it like a traffic light system for your kitchen. Green means 'go' for fresh produce, while another colour like red means 'stop' and use for raw meat only. This simple visual guide stops dangerous bacteria from, say, a raw chicken board ending up in a fresh salad via the same knife. It’s an incredibly simple, effective way to make your kitchen safer, train staff faster, and show inspectors you’re serious about hygiene.
