IVO Professional 55000 is a commercial knife range, and this collection holds 108 products. It covers paring knives, cooks knives, carving and slicing knives, boning knives, serrated slicers and knife sharpeners and steels, with coloured handles including white, brown and green.
Knife choice follows the task. A paring knife has a short blade for peeling, trimming and detail work in the hand rather than on a board. A cooks knife has a longer, deeper blade that rocks on a board for chopping and dicing. A serrated slicer saws through bread and soft-skinned produce without crushing it. Boning knives run narrow so they can follow bone. Coloured handles let a kitchen assign a knife to a food group, a common control against cross-contamination.
