Chef's knife Hendi 842775
Technical data 01 / 02
This purple chef’s knife is a professional kitchen knife with an HACCP-standard handle colour. The handle’s distinct colour is readily recognised at a glance, giving staff a practical visual cue when selecting tools for preparation. Keeping that cue consistent across the station helps the team follow its established allocation when several tasks are under way and utensils are shared between staff.
Where it is used
Use the knife at a preparation station where utensils are allocated by HACCP colour. Colour coding assigns equipment to a designated food group, so staff can identify the appropriate knife as they move between preparation tasks. This gives the team a consistent visual reference at a shared worktop, including when staff take over a station during service.
As a chef’s knife, it is suited to routine cutting and preparation work. Its general-purpose role makes it useful for the varied cutting tasks carried out during mise en place, while the purple handle distinguishes it from other knives nearby. Staff can recognise the allocated tool, use it for the relevant preparation work and keep it within the kitchen’s established colour-based system.
How to choose
The overall dimensions help when deciding whether the knife suits the available storage space. Comparing its full size with a drawer or other storage position helps staff allocate a place where the knife can be kept with the appropriate preparation tools. This is useful when organising a station around utensils of different sizes, as the storage plan can account for the knife’s complete footprint rather than its function alone.
Choose the purple version where that colour has a defined role in the kitchen’s HACCP system. HACCP colour coding links utensils to a designated food group, giving the team a consistent basis for selecting this knife for its assigned preparation work. Its overall size can then guide the choice of a suitable storage position, while the coloured handle makes the allocated tool straightforward to recognise when staff retrieve it.
