KH KHARVE UTILITY KNIFE 15CM PURPLE HANDLE

Kharve Utility Knife 15 cm Purple Handle

The Kharve Utility Knife has a 15 cm German stainless steel blade and a purple polypropylene handle. It is made for everyday trimming, slicing small items and jobs too big for a paring knife but too small for a cook's knife.

Kharve is Ken Hands' commercial knife range, built for chefs who want a sharp, reliable knife at a sensible price. The grippy, hygienic handle has a curved finger guard, and the blade is easy to bring back to a keen edge on a steel. Colour-coded handles make it easy to keep knives separate between food groups (for example red for raw meat and green for fruit and veg) in line with your venue's food safety plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this knife best for?

Everyday trimming, slicing small items and jobs too big for a paring knife but too small for a cook's knife.

What do the handle colours mean?

Colours help separate knives by food type to reduce cross-contamination. A common system is red for raw meat, blue for raw seafood, yellow for cooked meats or poultry, green for fruit and veg, white for dairy and bakery, brown for root vegetables and purple for allergen-free prep. Follow whatever colour plan your venue uses.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

Hand washing is best. Dishwashers can dull the edge and knock the blade against other items. Wash, rinse and dry straight after use.

How do I keep it sharp?

Hone it on a sharpening steel regularly and have it professionally sharpened or use a whetstone when honing no longer brings the edge back.

How should I store it?

Use a knife block, magnetic strip or blade guard. Loose knives in a drawer chip the edge and are a safety risk.
