Do the colors have any significance regarding the knives function? I can't have orange objects in my kitchen. null

Question

My daughter (who attended culinary classes) tells me the color coding addresses meat, veg, dairy, etc to avoid cross contamination. Not such a big deal for home use, but in a busy commercial kitchen it CAN be............I'd say for the price, HIDE the orange knife and sheath ; )

Someone said I’m not sure why you would need a knife for dairy products… cheese is a dairy product, and cheese gets cut with a knife

Chickenmama · Answer

No the color doesn’t mean anything they are bright & colorful just like a rainbow! Orange just happens to be in the rainbow. (FYI the orange knife is my most used) These are great knives! 
*IF you don’t care for the colorful choice … 
*CHECK OUT the black bladed ones with grey/black wood like handles.

Sooo...the colors are basically so you remember which knife is good for what purpose....Slicing / Paring/ Bread, etc
Be careful tho...They R SHarp!!

The description flatly says "features color coding for simple organization and to help reduce cross-contamination." The first part means you won't have trouble, especially for the similarly sized blades, picking which sheath goes with each knife. The second part means in your busy kitchen, you can assign the colors to uses, so, for a example, a knife that is cutting raw meat won't be picked up to cut fresh fruit.

Ummm not really. The orange one is my more utility knife in the kitchen. It opens bags and cuts a few things here and there. Its clearly a favorite of mine. If you don't want that particular one you could store it in the garage for other uses.

No significance to each function or design.

The color codes have nothing to do with the function of the knives. They are color-coded by type of knife only. Not sure why anyone would need a knife for dairy products.
