Why this chefs knive earns its place
This sits in the sweet spot for professional kitchens: bigger than a utility knife, not as imposing as a full 370mm chef's blade, but long enough to handle serious prep work. At 317mm, it's a proper chef's knife with real reach — you can break down joints, handle rough chopping, and work through vegetable prep without switching tools. The solid stainless steel blade is stamped, which means it's lighter and more agile than a forged blade, and it goes straight into the dishwasher without fuss.
At 170g, it's lighter than a full-size chef's knife but still weighted enough that you're not muscling every cut. The black thermoplastic handle grips wet hands, doesn't crack from heat cycling, and cleans up instantly. This is a knife that doesn't require ceremony — it's just a tool that does the job, shift after shift, without needing special care or hand-washing rituals that slow your team down.
Deglon's design here is about balance: you get the length and blade area of a proper chef's knife, the agility of a stamped construction, and the durability of stainless steel in a commercial dishwasher. For kitchens that need versatility without weight penalty, this is the blade that makes sense.
