HENDI 320 mm Purple Cook Knife for Professional Kitchens

A cook knife with a 320 mm blade slices, chops and dices large volumes of vegetables, meats and fish in professional kitchens. The long blade rolls through dense produce without crushing, while the broad heel gives the weight needed for clean cuts on tougher items like squash or frozen meat. The purple colour marks the knife for a specific food group under HACCP food-safety programmes, reducing cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat ingredients.

The blade is forged from a single piece of stainless steel, ground to a fine edge that stays sharp through repeated use. A full tang extends into the handle, balancing the knife so the weight sits forward in the hand. The operator grips the handle, aligns the blade with the cutting board and draws the knife through the food in a smooth arc, using the length to cover more surface with each stroke.

The 320 mm blade length suits bulk preparation tasks where speed and consistency matter. The 180 mm handle provides enough space for a secure grip, even when wearing cut-resistant gloves. The overall size fits standard worktop knife racks and magnetic strips, keeping the knife within reach during service.

Cleaning follows the HACCP protocol: the knife is washed, sanitised and stored separately from knives used on other food groups. The stainless steel resists corrosion, so the blade can be air-dried without spotting. Regular honing maintains the edge between professional sharpening sessions.
