Mundial, Inc. - Cutlery and Cooking Accessories for the Professional Chef and Home Gourmet

Mundial's 5500 Series is a line of cutlery specifically designed for the food processing industry. Made from high-carbon stainless steel, 5500 Series knives have a hardness of between 54 and 57 HRC, which is high for increased durability. All 5500 Series knives are NSF® approved, meeting all foodservice industry standards for sanitation.

5500 Series knives and accessories have Sanitized® Antimicrobial Protection, which is the safe treatment of the polypropylene handles to guard against bacteria, yeast, mold and fungi growth. During the manufacturing process, Sanitized® additives are incorporated directly into the knife handles, protecting them against microbial attack. The inclusion of these additives also decreases the risk of unpleasant odors while improving the hygiene of the knives.

Sanitized® Antimicrobial Protection is a highly respected and widely used technology all across the world. The process is continually tested in accordance with international standards. All test results support the safety, quality and effectiveness of products protected with Sanitized® additives.

While Sanitized® Antimicrobial Protection adds an extra safeguard against bacterial growth in materials, thorough cleaning and maintenance is still required on all products treated with Sanitized® additives.

Mundial's 5500 Series knives are fully traceable. During the manufacturing process a unique tracking number is stamped on each blade, which enables the knives to be positively identified throughout their useful life. This tracking system facilitates quality assurance and quality monitoring while also providing controls for scheduled sterilization and resharpening. Useful life cycles can also be established, which facilitate re-ordering and minimize investment in inventory while maximizing productivity.
