HENDI Universal Knife 190 mm in HACCP Purple

A universal knife cuts, slices and chops a wide range of foods without transferring flavours or allergens between raw and ready-to-eat items. The fixed blade concentrates force on the edge, giving clean, consistent cuts that preserve texture and presentation. Colour coding the handle assigns each knife to a specific food group, so staff can follow HACCP hygiene protocols without cross-contaminating ingredients.

The operator holds the handle in a pinch grip, placing the thumb and index finger on the blade's heel for control. Food is laid on a stable chopping board and the blade is drawn through it with a smooth, rocking motion. After use, the knife is washed, sanitised and stored in the designated colour zone to maintain the kitchen's food-safety programme.

The blade measures 190 mm from heel to tip, a length that balances reach for larger items with manoeuvrability for smaller tasks. The handle is moulded in purple, the HACCP colour assigned to a specific food category, ensuring the knife is used only for that group. The overall dimensions of 90 mm width and 190 mm length fit standard knife racks and magnetic strips.

Cleaning follows the same colour-coded routine: the knife is washed separately from knives of other colours, dried immediately to prevent corrosion, and stored in a way that keeps the edge protected and the handle visible for quick identification.
