Keep a grip on food safety and hygiene by following our ColourGrip™ colour-coding system!

Many cases of food poisoning occur every year as a result of cross-contamination. One very useful means of preventing cross-contamination in the food industry is by the implementation of an effective colour-coding policy. To this end, we developed the ColourGrip™ colour-coding system, which is now used extensively throughout the food processing and catering industries.

The system is very simple – a specific coloured handle is designated for each of the different types of food used in food preparation.

Helping in the fight against bacterial cross-contamination

Industry Standard Colours

Any knife, any colour!

And unlike many other knife manufacturers, we are able to offer any knife with any of the handle colour options!

The ColourGrip™ colour-coding system also has the advantage of reducing the risk of tainting food by enabling knives which have been used on strong flavours (such as fish etc) to be separated, and also to separate production lines in food factories.

 

 

 

Handle Types

On the vast majority of Granton® knives, there is a choice of handle style.

The Regular Handle - standard, polypropylene handle, originally designed for holding the knife safely and comfortably for long periods

---

The Ergo handle - developed for the professional user who uses knives all day, our research and development team worked with various food processing companies to develop this innovative handle, the resulting design provides the following benefits;

• Double tapered design, ergonomically designed to reduce stress to hand and wrist
• Contoured thumb platform and rounded blade back for added comfort.

---

The Ergo Safety Handle - this is a hybrid version of the Ergo described above, but it has a much longer finger guard to protect the fingers and reduce the chance of injury.

All handles are insert moulded from polypropylene co-polymer to withstand rigorous sterilising and dishwasher use and do not present the potential health hazards that are frequently associated with other knives.

Traditional riveted wooden handles also continue to be available on many lines!
