Why this paring knivesvegetable knive earns its place
The green-handled Hygiplas paring knife is built for the vegetable station: peeling, trimming, and detailed prep work where precision beats speed. At 180 mm with a 20g frame, it sits comfortably in the hand for sustained fine work—julienne, brunoise, peeling root veg, trimming herbs, segmenting citrus. The green handle codes this blade for dedicated vegetable use, a colour system that keeps your kitchen organised and your cross-contamination risks minimal.
Stamped stainless steel stays sharp through hundreds of shifts and won't rust or stain when working with acidic vegetables (tomatoes, vinegared greens) or damp produce straight from wash-down. It sharpens easily on standard equipment and goes straight into the pass dishwasher without fuss or special care.
In a professional kitchen, a paring knife that does one job well beats a multi-purpose blade that does everything adequately. This one belongs at the vegetable station and stays there.
