Why this chefs knive earns its place
The Hygiplas Chef Knife at 380 mm is the big brother. Where the 345 mm works efficiently, this blade lets you span a full chopping board without lifting and repositioning. For kitchens moving volume through a single prep station, that reach is time saved and fatigue prevented.
The extra 35 mm of blade doesn't feel like much until you're working — then you notice the difference. You're covering more surface per stroke, making fewer cuts on each item, and moving faster because the knife is doing more work. Finest stainless steel, stamped construction, dishwasher safe. The Hygiplas philosophy is simple: good steel, no fuss, tools built to survive a professional kitchen.
At 190 grammes, it's noticeably heavier than the smaller chef knife. That weight matters. The momentum of the blade does part of the work for you, especially when you're rocking the tip on the board or using rock-and-chop technique. Over a long service, that's the difference between sustainable work and hand fatigue.
