The Hygiplas Pro paring knife is a short-bladed prep knife designed for close-work vegetable tasks in professional kitchens — peeling, trimming, shaping, and removing blemishes from produce. It is a straightforward, well-made tool that does exactly what a paring knife should, without unnecessary weight or bulk.
In a busy prep environment, the compact blade length gives cooks precise control over detailed cuts where a longer blade would be unwieldy. The handle is constructed from polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber, which provides a secure grip even when hands are wet — a practical consideration during sustained prep sessions. The ergonomic shape also helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.
The brown colour coding on the handle identifies this knife for use in vegetable preparation areas, which is consistent with widely adopted HACCP colour-coding systems. This makes it straightforward to integrate into kitchens that operate designated knife sets by food type or allergen risk zone.
- Brown colour-coded handle for vegetable prep zone identification
- PP and TPR handle construction for a reliable wet-grip
- Short blade suited to intricate peeling and trimming work
- Lightweight design that reduces fatigue during repetitive prep tasks
- Compatible with standard HACCP colour-coded knife programmes
This knife is well suited to any professional kitchen running a colour-coded system — restaurants, catering operations, schools, hospitals, and contract catering sites. For kitchens requiring a full matched set across all food groups, the Hygiplas Pro range covers additional colour options to complete a compliant programme.
If you are setting up a colour-coded knife system from scratch or want to confirm the right combination of blades for your prep workflow, the team is happy to help.
£2.33(£2.80 inc VAT)
The Hygiplas paring knife is a compact, lightweight stainless steel prep knife designed for close-control cutting tasks such as peeling, trimming, and shaping vegetables, fruit, and garnishes. The short blade and nylon handle make it well suited to detail work where a larger chef's knife would be unwieldy.
In a busy prep environment, a reliable paring knife is one of the most frequently reached-for items on the bench. This one handles the everyday workload without fuss — the stainless steel blade takes and holds an edge well, and the handle is comfortable enough for extended prep sessions. It is not a specialist or high-end knife, but it performs consistently for general prep use across a range of kitchen settings.
- Colour-coded black handle supports allergen and cross-contamination management protocols
- Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between services
- Lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during repetitive prep tasks
- Straightforward to sharpen, keeping it in working condition with minimal effort
There are no particular installation considerations for a knife of this type, though it is worth ensuring your team are following your kitchen's colour-coding policy consistently. Black is a common designation for non-food-contact use in some kitchens, so confirm the colour fits your existing system before ordering in quantity.
This knife is a practical choice for catering operations that need reliable, cost-effective prep knives in volume — from school kitchens and contract caterers to pub kitchens and hospitality venues. If your prep demands a heavier-duty or more specialist blade, a broader range of options is available. If you are unsure which knife suits your workflow, we are happy to help you think it through.
£2.49(£2.99 inc VAT)
The Hygiplas 8.5cm paring knife is a compact, general-purpose knife designed for the close-detail prep work that larger blades cannot handle comfortably — peeling, trimming, segmenting, and fine cutting tasks that are part of the daily routine in most commercial kitchens.
The stainless steel blade holds a practical working edge and is built to withstand the repeated use and regular dishwasher cleaning that commercial prep environments demand. At 20g, it is light enough for extended prep sessions without causing hand fatigue, which matters when volumes are high and staff are working through significant quantities of fruit, vegetables, or garnishes.
Where this knife earns its place in a professional kitchen is as part of a colour-coded system. The handle colour directly supports allergen management and cross-contamination protocols — a requirement in most food safety plans rather than an optional extra. Handles are available in the standard Hygiplas colour coding:
- Blue — raw fish
- Green — salads and fruit
- Red — raw meat
- White — dairy products
A black-handled version is also available for kitchens that use an extended colour range.
This is a practical, entry-level paring knife suited to kitchens that need reliable, compliant smallwares at a sensible price point. It is well suited to catering colleges, contract catering operations, and any site where standardised, colour-segregated knife sets are required across multiple sections. Kitchens needing heavier-duty or higher-specification knives for intensive daily use may want to consider alternatives further up the range.
If you are equipping a section from scratch or building out a full colour-coded knife set, the team are happy to help you work out what you need across the range.
£2.95(£3.54 inc VAT)
The Hygiplas paring knife is a compact, general-purpose prep knife with an 8.3cm stainless steel blade, designed for peeling, trimming and detailed fruit and vegetable work. The handle is colour coded, so the knife fits into a colour-coded food safety system and helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination between food groups.
- Compact stainless steel blade for peeling, trimming and detail work
- Colour-coded handle supports allergen and cross-contamination control
Available in brown, green and purple. Using a separate handle colour for each food type helps staff identify the correct knife quickly.
