Product Overview
Here’s a brilliant solution for any professional kitchen focused on safety and speed. The Hygiplas S088 is a comprehensive colour coded chef knife set, giving you six essential knives all tucked away in a sturdy, protective wallet.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to standardise their kitchen tools to improve food safety compliance and speed up their prep line for the summer rush.
"We were using a mishmash of old knives, and it was a real headache. This Hygiplas set made everything simpler overnight. The team knows exactly which knife to use for raw fish or veg, which has sped up our service and gives me real peace of mind."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
The new organised system helped reduce prep time for their seafood platters by over 15% and virtually eliminated cross-contamination worries.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give all knives a thorough wash with warm, soapy water and dry them completely.
- Assign each colour to its correct food group (e.g., Red for raw meat, Blue for raw fish).
- Pair with corresponding colour-coded chopping boards for maximum food safety.
- Store knives securely in the provided wallet when not in use to protect the blades and for safety.
Keeping It Going
- While handles are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing the blades to maintain their sharpness for longer.
- Hone the blades regularly with a sharpening steel to keep the edge perfectly aligned.
- Always dry knives completely before returning them to the wallet to prevent any risk of rust.
- Never leave knives to soak in a sink with other cutlery, as this can cause accidents and damage the blades.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy Colour-Coding is a Kitchen Essential
Think of colour-coding like having different lanes on a motorway for different types of traffic. Using a red-handled knife for raw meat and a brown-handled one for vegetables prevents dangerous bacteria from 'switching lanes' and causing food poisoning. It’s a simple visual cue that removes all the guesswork, especially when the kitchen is under pressure. This Hygiplas set bakes that safety system right into your tools, making it effortless to follow food hygiene laws and protect your customers, without needing complex charts or constant reminders.
