Chef's Knives

Chop, slice, dice, and mince with these multipurpose knives.

Knives with a rubber grip are comfortable to hold and reduce user fatigue.

Styles B and C meet NSF/ANSI 2, which is a food safety standard. Style C knives have a slip-resistant textured handle and a titanium-coated blade that is more durable than other blades.

Style D has a ceramic blade that is easy to clean and retains its sharp edge up to 10 times longer than steel blades.

Style E has a rocker blade that teeters back and forth to cut food. It also has a T-handle, so you don’t need a lot of strength and dexterity to use—simply apply pressure directly above the food being cut. Also known as rocker knives.

Food Industry Nonscratching Plastic Putty Knives

Scrape, cut, and spread material in your food-processing facility with these putty knives—they’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Made from plastic, they won’t scratch metal surfaces or corrode from chemicals.

Metal- and X-ray-detectable knives have metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your line. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to keep contaminated food from leaving your facility.

Sanitary knives are antibacterial to stop germs and mold from growing on the surface.

Autoclavable knives can be sterilized with heat.
