Why this tomato knive earns its place
The Hygiplas Pro serrated tomato knife combines a finely serrated stainless steel blade with a compact 10cm reach, delivering clean, controlled cuts through tomatoes, citrus fruits and soft produce without tearing or bruising. The serrated teeth grip the skin and bite through with minimal pressure, preserving the texture and appearance of delicate items—critical for salad prep where presentation matters as much as flavour.
At just 66g, the knife sits light in the hand, reducing fatigue during high-volume prep shifts. The 10cm blade is nimble enough for detailed garnish work and precise enough for portion control on salad stations, whilst the tapered design allows you to work close to the board without knuckle interference. Built from high-quality stainless steel, it resists corrosion and maintains its edge through repeated use in wet environments.
The ergonomic handle is engineered for speed and safety: it's constructed from durable PP and TPR materials, shaped to fit the hand naturally, and textured with a non-slip surface that keeps the grip secure even in wet or greasy conditions. The green colour-coded end is more than aesthetics—it supports your HACCP compliance systems by making it instantly clear this knife is designated for salad and fruit prep, helping prevent cross-contamination in busy kitchens. A quick wipe or soak is all the maintenance it needs, making cleaning straightforward and quick between services.
