  • Top Feature: The colour-coding is crystal clear, making it perfect for fast-paced, multi-staff kitchens.
  • A Small Quibble: The blade requires more frequent honing than premium German or Japanese steel knives.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli, a popular sandwich bar in central Sheffield, needed to overhaul its prep process to improve both hygiene standards and  the speed of their lunch service. They invested in a full set of Hygiplas colour-coded knives to create a clear system for their staff.

"The team took to the colour-coding instantly. There's no more confusion about which knife to use for which job, especially with the cooked meats. It's a simple change that has had a huge impact on our workflow and  our confidence in our food safety."

Robert Evans – Owner, The Corner Deli

Since implementing the system, The Corner Deli has reduced the time taken to prep its cooked meat fillings by over 15% and  sailed through its latest EHO inspection.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before the first use, wash the knife thoroughly with warm, soapy water and  dry completely.
  • Assign a specific, safe storage space for it, such as a magnetic wall rack or a designated knife block slot, to keep the blade protected.
  • Ensure all kitchen staff are briefed that the yellow handle is exclusively for use with cooked meats.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, clean the knife immediately after you've finished using it to prevent food from drying on the blade.
  • Hone the blade regularly with a sharpening steel to maintain its edge between full sharpenings. This takes just a few seconds but makes a huge difference.
  • Although fully dishwasher safe, hand washing is often gentler and  can help prolong the life and  sharpness of the blade.
  • Always dry the knife thoroughly before storing it away to prevent any potential water spots or corrosion.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Knife

Not sure what to look for? Choosing the right knife doesn't have to be complicated. Here are a few key things to consider for a professional kitchen.

Colour Coding is Crucial

For any commercial kitchen, a colour-coded system is non-negotiable. It's the simplest way to prevent cross-contamination and  demonstrate due diligence during hygiene inspections. A yellow colour coded kitchen knife is standard for cooked meats.

Blade Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It offers a fantastic blend of durability, stain resistance, and  ease of sharpening, making it perfect for the demands of daily use.

Comfort is Performance

You'll be holding this knife for hours. An ergonomic, non-slip handle isn't a luxury; it's a necessity for reducing fatigue and  ensuring safe, precise cuts throughout a long shift.

Weight and  Balance

A well-balanced knife feels like a natural extension of your arm. It shouldn’t be excessively heavy or flimsy, allowing for agile and  controlled cuts without causing strain.

The Right Tool for the Task

Using the correct knife for the job—like this 15.5cm chef knife for food prep and  general slicing—is not only more efficient but also much safer for you and  better for the knife's longevity.
