Since the handle is color-coded, you can pair this knife with other handle colors and create a simple system for preventing cross-contamination. Designate 1 type of food (vegetables, red meat, poultry, allergen-sensitive foods, etc.) for each handle type so that you never risk contaminating an order. The ergonomically designed handle is made of Santoprene for comfort and polypropylene for durability, while textured finger points and a protective finger guard provide slip-resistance and added safety.
