Why this chefs knive earns its place
The Hygiplas Pro 16cm chef knife is a specialist's tool. Built narrower and lighter than a standard chef knife, it gives you the manoeuvrability to slice strawberries cleanly, segment citrus without crushing, and shred leafy greens with minimal bruising. At 102g, it's agile enough for hand-fatigue to fade even during rush service, yet the stainless steel blade holds an edge through hundreds of cuts per shift.
The green colour-coded handle speaks HACCP language — it tells your team, at a glance, this knife lives in the salad and fruit zone. No ambiguity, no cross-contamination risk. The handle itself is where daily comfort lives: ergonomically shaped from polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber (TPR), it offers a secure, non-slip grip even when wet, even when your hands are moving fast. The rounded design cradles your palm in a way that reduces the micro-strain of repetitive cutting — by the end of service, your hand will feel it.
For salad bars, catering kitchens, institutional foodservice, and restaurants where fresh produce turnover is constant, this knife is trusted kit. It's not the showpiece — it's the workhorse that makes mise en place smooth and injury-free.
