Detectamet can offer you a very extensive range of Professional Knives and Accessories for use in the Catering, Food Processing and Industrial Markets worldwide.

All the knives are made from fully hardened and tempered stainless steel to ensure maximum edge retention. All knives are available with fully metal detectable handles, available in Blue, Green, Yellow and Red and with a choice of blade and handle types.

Detectamet range of professional knife blades
Let’s start with the raw material; the steel, which is used. A high carbon stainless steel that ensures the benefit in appearance of stainless is coupled with the hardness and edge retention properties that the carbon content provides.

Next, there is the heat treatment process which has been developed over many years. This, along with the grinding process, is the real secret of the knife. The steel must be strong enough to ensure that the fine cutting edge is maintained for the longest possible duration, and when eventually the edge needs revitalising it can easily accomplished using a sharpening steel.

Finally, there are the blade Edge scallops. The series of small scallops that make up the blade Edge are ground alternately on each side of the blade by hand with great precision. This ensures that each knife performs perfectly for the longest possible time by retaining a fine, razor sharp cutting edge for far longer than a traditional plain edge knife. The scallops also provide an additional benefit in that air is allowed to enter between the blade and the cut product, enabling the cut slice to fall away from the knife and not stick to it.

The blade Edge is available on any knife, but most popular on the Ham, Beef and Salmon slicer knives.

Detectamet Scalloped Edge Knives

To complement the traditional range of Plain Edge knives, we have introduced the Wavy or Scalloped Cutting Edge. This provides 40% more cutting edge in contact with the product than with a traditional plain edge knife.

Made to the same exacting standards, the Wavy Edge provides the perfect cutting edge profile for cutting items such as bread, gateaux and pastry products. The edge requires no sharpening, so is ideal for fast food outlets, busy canteens and restaurants.

Detectamet Professional Knives - Handles available

On the vast majority of the knives included in the Detectamet range, three handle types are available.

When ordering your Professional Knives please remember to state the handle you require.

Some handles will come as standard on certain knives

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

The Ergo handle - polypropylene metal detectable 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 - polypropylene metal detectable 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 metal detectable polypropylene co-polymer.
