Hygiplas 15 Piece Colour-Coded Knife Set with Carry Case

This Hygiplas set brings together fifteen stainless steel knives and prep tools in a single carry case, covering the core cutting tasks that make up the majority of a professional kitchen's prep work. The selection includes cooks knives in three sizes and colours, paring knives, a boning knife, fillet knife, bread knife, slicer, tomato knife, palette knife, a diamond steel for edge maintenance, and a peeler — giving a kitchen a practical, self-contained toolkit rather than a loose collection of individual blades.

The colour-coded handles are the most operationally significant feature of this set. Each colour corresponds to a food group — for example, red for raw meat, green for salad and fruit, blue for raw fish — which supports HACCP-compliant prep practices and helps reduce cross-contamination risk during busy service. In kitchens where multiple chefs share equipment, colour coding makes it straightforward to enforce correct knife-to-food discipline without relying on individual judgement at each station.

For a kitchen setting up from scratch or standardising its prep kit, this type of set offers a few practical advantages:

• Covers the full range of routine prep tasks without sourcing blades individually
• Colour-coded handles support HACCP and food hygiene compliance
• The carry case protects blades in storage and simplifies transport between sites or units
• The included diamond steel allows regular edge maintenance in-house
• Stainless steel construction handles regular commercial use and repeated washing

The carry case makes this set particularly practical for catering contractors, mobile caterers, or operations running across multiple sites, where knives need to travel safely and remain organised. It is equally suited to a permanent kitchen that wants to consolidate its prep kit and keep blades protected when not in use.

This set works well for most mid-volume kitchens. Operations running very high prep volumes across multiple stations simultaneously may find they need duplicate sets or supplementary individual blades for specific tasks.

If you are unsure whether this set covers the specific tasks in your kitchen, or you would like guidance on building out your prep toolkit, the team is happy to help.
