The IVO 55000 brown range brings together 16 professional knives on brown handles, covering carving and slicing knives, cooks knives, paring knives, a sharpener or steel and a kitchen utensil. It is one colour band within IVO's wider 55000 professional series.
Colour-coded handles exist so a kitchen can tie one handle colour to one food group as part of its HACCP plan, and each venue sets that allocation in its own food safety documentation. Beyond the colour, the choice is blade length and edge. Carving and slicing knives run long and narrow for portioning roasts and cold meats, and serrated slicers grip crusted surfaces. Cooks knives handle general prep at the board. Paring knives take the close, in-hand work such as trimming and coring. Hospitality Connect supplies IVO knives to Australian venues at trade pricing.
