Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Severn Bite', a popular riverside deli in Shrewsbury, were struggling with their sandwich prep. Their old knives were crushing ripe tomatoes and tearing their artisan bread, leading to food waste and slower service during the frantic lunch rush.
"This little blue knife is brilliant. It just glides through everything we throw at it – sourdough, soft brioche, you name it. Our sandwiches look better, and the team aren't getting frustrated anymore. It's a small change that's made a big difference to our workflow."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
Since switching, they've cut their prep time for sandwich fillings by around 20% and significantly reduced waste from damaged ingredients.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, remove all packaging carefully.
- Give the knife a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- The turquoise handle makes it ideal for integrating into a colour-coded food safety system.
- Store it safely on a magnetic knife rack or in a knife block to protect the blade's edge.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, always hand-wash your knife. Dishwashers can be too abrasive and may dull the blade over time.
- Dry the knife immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the steel's integrity.
- Avoid using the knife to cut on hard surfaces like stone, metal, or glass worktops.
- If the blade ever needs sharpening, use a tool specifically designed for serrated edges to maintain its unique shape.

Explore more from DickHow a Serrated Edge Delivers the Perfect Slice
Ever wondered why a serrated knife cuts so differently? It's all about physics. A plain edge relies on pressure to push through food, which is why it can squash a soft tomato. A serrated edge, however, works like a saw. The points of the 'teeth' pierce the food's surface with very little pressure, and the curved gullies between them slice through the rest as you move the blade.
Think of it like trying to cut a rope. Pushing a flat blade against it is hard work, but a sawing motion with a toothed blade cuts through in seconds. That's exactly what this Pro Dynamic 11cm utility knife does to a crusty baguette or a waxy lemon peel. It grips where others would slip, giving you a clean, perfect slice every time without damaging the delicate interior.
