The 16cm blade offers a practical balance of control and reach, making it well suited to lighter prep tasks such as slicing soft fruits, segmenting citrus, chopping salad leaves, and trimming garnishes. It sits in the Hygiplas colour-coded range, where green designates use with salads and fruit under standard HACCP protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a busy kitchen, colour-coded knives reduce the risk of cross-contamination between food groups without relying solely on verbal instruction or labelling. Green handles are widely recognised across the industry for salad and fruit zones, so the system integrates naturally into existing HACCP documentation and staff training. The handle is constructed from polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber, providing a reasonably secure grip in wet conditions — an important practical consideration during high-throughput prep shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shorter blade length makes this knife particularly useful in tighter prep spaces or where staff are handling smaller produce volumes.
