How to choose the right Knife Sets

• Decide which blades you actually need day to day, such as chef, paring, utility and bread knives, to avoid over or under buying.
• Consider whether you require colour coded handles to support food safety procedures in high volume or multi prep kitchens.
• Check handle ergonomics and balance so staff can work comfortably during long prep sessions without fatigue.
• Look at storage options, choosing sets with cases or rolls if chefs travel between sites or work off site at events.
• Match the quality level to your operation, selecting heavy duty professional sets for busy restaurants and lighter sets for occasional use.
• Review brand ranges like Dick and Hygiplas to align with existing knives and sharpening systems in your kitchen.

Care and maintenance

• Wash knives promptly after use with mild detergent, avoiding prolonged soaking that can damage handles and edges.
• Dry blades thoroughly and store them in blocks, racks, cases or rolls to protect edges and prevent accidents.
• Use sharpening steels or professional sharpeners regularly to maintain a keen edge and consistent cutting performance.
• Avoid cutting on glass or metal surfaces; use quality chopping boards to extend blade life and protect tips.
• Inspect handles, rivets and blades frequently for damage or looseness and replace any compromised knives immediately.
• Transport knives in dedicated rolls or cases, ensuring blades are covered and secured to comply with safety best practice.
