With a broad, sturdy stainless steel blade at 16cm, it handles the general prep work you'd expect of a cooks knife — chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables or other ingredients — while the colour-coded handle ties it directly into a structured allergen or cross-contamination control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn busy prep kitchens, colour coding is one of the simplest and most reliable ways to reduce the risk of allergen transfer between food groups. Designating specific knives to specific tasks or ingredients — and making that designation immediately visible by handle colour — helps kitchen teams work quickly without having to stop and think. The brown handle is designated for vegetables; the purple handle is intended for allergen-sensitive preparation work, making it a practical addition to kitchens managing allergen protocols under Natasha's Law obligations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel blade is straightforward to clean and holds up well to the demands of a commercial prep environment. At 120g, it sits in a comfortable working weight for extended prep sessions, and the ergonomic handle is shaped to give a secure grip during repetitive cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports formal colour-coded allergen control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroad blade suitable for general vegetable and ingredient preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction cleans down quickly between tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight enough for extended prep work without fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis knife is best suited to kitchens that have, or are building, a structured colour-coding system.
