Produce is the station that processes the most weight per shift, and blade length translates directly into strokes saved. A 10-inch edge takes a full case of onions or peppers in noticeably fewer passes than an 8-inch one.
Green keeps it there. The advantage of coding by handle colour is that it survives a shift change — the next cook does not need to be told which knife belongs on which board.
Dexter-Russell has made cutlery in Southbridge, Massachusetts since 1818 and is the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the United States. The Sani-Safe line is its NSF-certified foodservice range, built around a textured polypropylene handle moulded to the tang so there is no seam for food to lodge in.
