Delivery Information

Price Match

The Hygiplas 15.5cm chef knife is a compact, general-purpose cook's knife designed for everyday prep work in commercial kitchens. The stainless steel blade holds a reliable working edge and is paired with a dishwasher-safe handle, making it straightforward to keep clean in line with hygiene requirements. It is available in black, yellow, green, red and white, supporting HACCP-compliant colour-coded systems without additional colour-marking tools.

In busy kitchen environments, colour-coded knives are a practical safeguard against cross-contamination. Yellow is conventionally used for cooked meats, green for salads and fresh fruits, and black for general use. Keeping a set of colour-designated knives helps prep teams work quickly and consistently, particularly during high-pressure service periods when clear visual cues matter most.

  • Dishwasher-safe handle reduces cleaning time and supports hygiene compliance
  • Colour coding integrates with standard HACCP food safety procedures
  • Compact 15.5cm blade suits fine prep, trimming, and lighter cutting tasks
  • Stainless steel construction is reliable under regular commercial use
  • Five colours: Yellow, Black, Green, Red and White

At 15.5cm, this is a shorter blade than a standard chef knife, which suits detailed prep work, portioning smaller cuts, and kitchens where staff prefer a lighter, more manoeuvrable knife. It is not intended to replace a full-length cook's knife for heavy breaking-down work. For sites that need a full knife programme covering multiple blade lengths and functions, building a coordinated set across sizes is worth considering.

Well suited to catering operations, school kitchens, care homes, and any site running a colour-coded prep system. If you are specifying knives across a team or setting up a full HACCP system and want guidance on what to cover, we are happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

How does colour coding work with this knife in a commercial kitchen?

Each colour corresponds to a specific food group under standard HACCP guidelines: yellow for cooked meats, green for salads and fruits, and black for general use. The knife is also available with red and white handles. Assigning knives by colour to dedicated prep areas or food types is a practical way to reduce cross-contamination risk during busy service, and is a common requirement in food safety audits.

Is a 15.5cm blade sufficient for general kitchen prep work?

This blade length is well suited to detailed prep, trimming, and portioning smaller cuts, but it is shorter than a standard chef knife. For heavy-duty tasks such as breaking down larger joints or high-volume chopping, a longer blade would typically be more appropriate. Many kitchens use a shorter knife like this alongside a full-length cook's knife to cover the full range of prep tasks.

Can these knives go through a commercial dishwasher safely?

Yes, the handle is designed to withstand dishwasher cleaning, which is important in a commercial setting where knives need to be turned around quickly between service periods. As with any kitchen knife, regular inspection of the blade edge is good practice to ensure it remains fit for safe use.
