Stalgast 70 mm Cleaning Knife for Professional Kitchens

A cleaning knife removes outer layers, trims waste and separates unwanted parts from food without damaging the usable portion. The short, rigid blade concentrates force on a small area, letting the operator cut precisely where the edge meets the surface. This method gives clean, controlled strokes that peel, scrape or pare in a single pass, reducing waste and speeding preparation.

The operator holds the knife by its handle, positions the blade against the food and draws it along the surface in smooth, even strokes. The 70 mm length keeps the blade close to the hand, improving control for detailed work on smaller items or tight spaces. Pressure is adjusted by hand, allowing the same tool to handle soft skins, fibrous peels or tough membranes without switching blades.

Constructed as a single piece, the knife has no joints or moving parts that could trap debris or weaken over time. The blade is ground to a fine edge, maintaining sharpness through repeated use, while the handle is shaped to fit the grip without slipping during wet or greasy conditions.

The 70 mm size indicates a compact tool designed for close work rather than bulk processing. It fits easily into a utility drawer or worktop slot, taking minimal space in a busy kitchen. The small footprint also allows the knife to be stored near the preparation area, keeping it within reach for frequent tasks.

Cleaning involves rinsing the blade under running water to remove food particles, then drying it immediately to prevent corrosion. The absence of crevices or seams simplifies maintenance, as there are no hidden areas where moisture or residue can accumulate. Regular honing keeps the edge sharp, ensuring consistent performance without the need for frequent resharpening.

This knife is categorised under hand tools for food preparation, where precision and durability are essential for daily commercial use.
