Why this chefs knive earns its place
The 25cm Hygiplas Chef Knife is your primary blade. At 380mm overall with a 10-inch stainless steel edge, this is the knife that handles the volume. The stamped construction gives you immediate sharpness without the heft of a forged blade—crucial when you're breaking down proteins or processing bulk vegetables through a service. The green handle is instantly recognisable: meat preparation, cross-contamination protocols, and kitchen speed all align at a glance.
The blade geometry is serious. Ten inches of finest stainless steel gives you the reach to take through large proteins or vegetables with a single pass, reducing hand motion and accelerating prep. The stamped profile is thinner behind the edge than forged alternatives, which means the blade glides cleanly through resistant materials without binding. For the pace of real service, this matters.
Build quality matches the design. The green handle is moulded to resist water and maintain grip through hundreds of dishwasher cycles—no hand-washing required, no fading colour, no softening. At 0.19 kg, it's weighted to feel substantial without fatiguing your hand across a long shift. The balance point sits just forward of the handle, giving you leverage without needing to grip harder.
