Food Industry Knives


The Safety Knife Company has developed a revolutionary metal detectable polypropylene knife body specifically for the food and pharmaceutical industries. This material can be detected and rejected by typical detection machines and is X-ray visible. Pieces as small as 1/16-inch have been tested and detected.

The Penguin 400M, Penguin 900M, Fish 600M and new Duck1100M safety knives are excellent for use in food manufacturing and distribution where hygiene is critical. They have a wide range of cutting applications, from netting and string around processed meats to vacuum packs in frozen foods to plastic and paper ingredient bags in bakeries. The Fish 600M even has a stainless hook blade on the end to open tape and corrugated.

These are injection molded with completely enclosed surgical stainless steel blades, and sealed to prevent bacterial growth. Since these tools are disposable and have no moving or removable parts, risk of contamination is reduced. In addition to the food safe-metal detectable line of safety knives, the Safety Knife Company now provides the food and pharmaceutical industry even more metal detectable solutions. Metal detectable pens, markers, earplugs, and ZIP ties are also made with the revolutionary, metal detectable polypropylene materials approved for food-contact use.
