Why this chefs knive earns its place
The Hygiplas Pro 21.5cm chef knife (green) is a workhorse tool for kitchens that take salad seriously. At 160g, it's light and balanced enough to keep your hand fresh through hours of slicing soft fruits, shredding herbs, and breaking down salad components. The stainless steel blade, hardened to 52° Rockwell, stays sharp through high-volume service and resists the dulling that softer metals surrender to after hundreds of cuts.
The 21.5cm blade length gives you versatility — you can work large heads of lettuce, citrus fruits, and fresh herbs without the reach limitations of a smaller knife. The green colour-coding is your HACCP language: this knife lives in the salad and fruit zone, visible at a glance, auditable across shifts, and essential to food safety discipline in a busy kitchen. The handle is where this knife earns its place on your prep line. Shaped ergonomically from polypropylene and TPR, it's built for the repetitive hand motion of salad prep, with a non-slip surface that stays secure even when your hands are wet and moving fast.
For salad bars, catering operations, fine-dining kitchens with strong vegetable culture, and any professional kitchen where fresh produce is treated with the same precision as expensive proteins, this knife matters.
