Victorinox Swiss Classic Tomato & Table Knife Wavy Green 11cm 2 Pack
£9.64(£11.57 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Victorinox Swiss Classic tomato and table knife is a short-bladed, wavy-edged knife designed specifically for cutting soft-skinned produce — tomatoes, citrus, stone fruit, and similar items — without crushing or dragging through the flesh. Supplied here as a pack of two with green handles, it is a practical choice for kitchens that operate a colour-coded knife system, where green typically designates salad and fruit preparation.
In a commercial kitchen environment, this type of knife earns its place through consistent, reliable performance on repetitive prep tasks. The wavy edge grips and cuts cleanly with minimal downward pressure, which reduces both effort and the likelihood of produce being damaged during high-volume salad or garnish prep. It is equally useful front-of-house as a table knife for service settings such as cafés, delis, and bistros where a serrated table knife is preferred over a plain-edged blade.
Practical advantages for day-to-day kitchen use include:
- Clean cuts through soft-skinned produce without bruising or tearing
- Green handle supports HACCP-compliant colour-coded knife systems
- Dishwasher-safe construction for fast turnaround between prep stages
- Lightweight build reduces hand fatigue during extended prep shifts
- Pack of two provides a ready backup or covers simultaneous workstations
These knives require no special storage beyond a suitable knife block, magnetic strip, or knife roll. Being dishwasher-safe, they integrate easily into standard kitchen cleaning routines. The polypropylene handle is durable under regular commercial wash cycles, though as with any knife, avoiding prolonged soaking will extend the life of the blade edge.
This knife is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, hotel kitchens, deli counters, and any operation where soft fruit and vegetable prep forms a regular part of the workflow. It is not intended as a general-purpose chef's knife or for heavier cutting tasks — for those applications, a broader blade in the appropriate colour category would be the right choice.
If you are setting up or reviewing a colour-coded knife system and are unsure which categories and colours to cover across your operation, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
Frequently asked questions
Is the green handle suitable for a HACCP colour-coded knife system?
Yes. In most HACCP-aligned colour-coding schemes, green is assigned to salad, fruit, and ready-to-eat produce preparation, which aligns with the intended use of this knife. If your operation follows a different colour assignment, it is worth checking your own system's coding before purchasing.
Can these knives be used for front-of-house table service as well as prep?
The wavy edge and compact blade make this knife practical as a table knife in informal dining settings such as cafés or delis, as well as in the kitchen for prep work. Bear in mind the green handle may not suit all front-of-house presentations, so consider whether the handle colour fits your service style.
How well do these hold up to daily dishwasher use in a busy kitchen?
The polypropylene handle is designed to withstand regular dishwasher cycles, and Victorinox's Swiss Classic range is commonly used in commercial kitchens with exactly that cleaning routine. As with any knife, avoiding prolonged soaking and storing correctly after washing will help maintain the edge and handle condition over time.
