Kitchen Devils Kitchen Knife, 10 Year Guarantee

Key features

• Slender, tapered plain edge blade that slices cleanly through salad vegetables and soft fruit
• Handle moulded directly onto the blade, giving a hygienic one piece join with no gap for food to collect in
• Comfortable, balanced grip with a textured finish that stays secure in wet hands
• Compact, easy to control size for everyday prep at the board or over a bowl
• Dishwasher safe for easy everyday cleaning
• 10 year Kitchen Devils guarantee

What this knife is best for

The tapered blade shape is designed for precise, everyday cutting rather than heavy chopping. Use it for:

• Slicing salad vegetables such as cucumber, peppers and celery
• Preparing soft fruit like tomatoes, strawberries and stone fruit
• Trimming spring onions, slicing mushrooms and topping and tailing beans
• General light prep work where a smaller, plain edge blade is easier to control than a full size cook's knife

If you prefer a fine serrated edge for skins like tomatoes and apples, the Kitchen Devils Multi Purpose Knife is worth comparing. For heavier chopping and larger vegetables, step up to the Kitchen Devils Cook's Knife.

How to use and care for it

1. Use a straightforward push or slicing cut. The plain edge cuts on contact rather than needing a sawing motion.
2. Always cut on a wooden or plastic board. Glass, stone and ceramic boards blunt the edge quickly.
3. Rinse and dry after cutting acidic foods such as tomatoes or citrus if you are not washing it straight away.
4. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing and drying straight after use will keep the edge keener for longer.
5. Store it in a block, on a magnetic rail or in a knife guard to protect the blade and keep hands safe.
