Tomato Knife 140 mm YATO YG-02227
A professional kitchen knife forged from German X50CrMoV15 steel, designed for the precise cutting of soft fruit and vegetables. The 140 mm blade length gives you control over the cut, while the serrated edges cope effectively with tomato skin without crushing the flesh.
Features of the YATO tomato knife
X50CrMoV15 knife steel
German chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel with a carbon content of 0.5%. The designation indicates the composition: 50 parts carbon, with additions of chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) that increase resistance to corrosion and wear. This steel holds its edge for a long time and is the standard in professional knives.
Hardness HRC 55-58
The Rockwell scale (HRC) defines steel hardness. A range of 55-58 HRC is a typical value for kitchen knives – it strikes a balance between edge retention and resistance to chipping. Knives of lower hardness blunt more quickly, while those of higher hardness are more brittle.
Ergonomic non-slip handle
The contoured shape of the handle reduces hand fatigue during prolonged work. The non-slip surface ensures a secure grip even with wet hands. The smooth, rivet-free construction eliminates the places where bacteria can collect, which is a requirement of HACCP standards in the catering industry.
Protective finger guard at the blade
A special element at the junction of the blade and handle acts as a stop – it prevents the hand from slipping onto the blade during intensive work. A solution that increases safety, particularly important when cutting wet products.

Production process and steel treatment
The YATO YG-02227 knife undergoes a multi-stage manufacturing process in which every stage affects the final properties of the tool:
Steel forging
The process of forming the blade by forging increases the density of the steel's metallographic structure. Unlike laser-cut knives, forging improves mechanical strength and resistance to cracking.
Hardening
A heat treatment involving heating the steel to approximately 1050°C and cooling it rapidly. This process transforms the steel structure, increasing hardness to the level of HRC 55-58. Without hardening, the steel would be too soft to hold a sharp edge.
Grinding and sharpening
Precise setting of the blade angle and smoothing of the surface. The sharpening angle affects the application of the knife – a smaller angle produces a sharper edge, but one that is less durable. YATO knives are ground at an angle that is optimal for kitchen applications.
Use and maintenance
The 2.0 mm blade thickness provides stability during cutting – thinner blades could bend on harder pieces of vegetables. The overall length of 245 mm (including the 140 mm blade) is a universal size, providing manoeuvrability while maintaining control over the knife.
X50CrMoV15 steel requires basic maintenance: hand washing in warm water with detergent, and drying immediately after washing. Avoiding the dishwasher extends the life of the blade – dishwasher detergents and high temperatures can adversely affect sharpness. Regular sharpening with a ceramic whetstone or honing steel maintains its cutting properties.
HACCP compliance
The smooth handle surface with no riveted joints meets the requirements of the HACCP system (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) – there are no gaps in which food residues and bacteria could collect. An important requirement in professional kitchens and food processing plants.
