Hygiplas Pro Chef Knife Green 21.5cm HACCP Colour-Coded
£5.95(£7.14 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Hygiplas Pro chef knife in green is a practical, straightforward blade designed for everyday prep work in commercial kitchens. The 21.5cm blade length sits in a useful middle ground — long enough to handle bulk prep efficiently, but manageable for close detail work on fruit, herbs, and salad ingredients. The green colour coding follows the widely adopted HACCP convention for fruit and vegetable preparation, helping kitchens maintain clear separation between food groups and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
In a working kitchen environment, the handle material and grip profile matter as much as the blade itself. The PP and TPR construction gives a secure hold when hands are wet or greasy, which matters during sustained prep sessions. The blade holds a workable edge through regular use and responds well to routine sharpening, making it a practical day-to-day tool rather than one that needs constant attention.
From an operational standpoint, the knife suits kitchens that take HACCP colour-coding seriously — particularly those running separate prep areas or stations where cross-contamination risk needs to be actively managed. Useful operational characteristics include:
- Green handle aligned to HACCP fruit and vegetable colour-coding conventions
- Non-slip grip suitable for wet prep environments
- Blade length practical for bulk salad and fruit preparation
- Straightforward to resharpen and maintain as part of daily knife care
This knife is well suited to salad stations, vegetable prep sections, and any kitchen running a colour-coded system. It is a reliable workhorse option rather than a premium professional blade, which is reflected in the price point. Kitchens requiring a heavier-duty knife for more demanding cutting tasks may find a higher-specification model more appropriate.
If you're equipping a full prep section or selecting knives across multiple colour groups, our team is happy to help you work through the full range.
Frequently asked questions
Which food groups is the green-handled knife intended for under HACCP colour-coding?
Under the widely used HACCP colour-coding convention, green is designated for fruit and vegetables. This knife is intended for use at salad stations, vegetable prep areas, and anywhere fruit preparation is carried out, keeping it clearly separate from knives used for raw meat, fish, or cooked foods.
Is this knife suitable for heavy-duty cutting tasks in a busy kitchen?
This knife is well suited to everyday fruit, herb, and salad prep, but it is a mid-range workhorse rather than a premium professional blade. For kitchens that need a knife to handle sustained heavy-duty work — such as breaking down large quantities of dense root vegetables — a heavier-specification model may be worth considering.
How should this knife be maintained in a commercial kitchen setting?
Routine sharpening using a honing steel or whetstone will keep the blade performing consistently. The knife should be hand-washed where possible to extend blade and handle life, though it is designed to withstand the demands of a commercial prep environment. As with any knife, proper storage on a magnetic rack or in a knife guard helps protect the edge between uses.
