Kitchen Devils Cook's Knife, 10 Year Guarantee

The Kitchen Devils cook's knife is the broad, plain-edged blade to reach for when you're chopping and dicing rather than slicing. It's from the Kitchen Devils Lifestyle range, with a moulded one-piece handle, and is backed by a 10 year guarantee.

Key features

• Broad plain edge blade that rocks and chops cleanly through herbs, meat, fruit and vegetables
• 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
• Wide blade shoulder, useful for scooping chopped ingredients into a pan or bowl
• Dishwasher safe for easy everyday cleaning
• 10 year Kitchen Devils guarantee

What this knife is best for

This is the everyday chopping knife in the Kitchen Devils Lifestyle range, sized between a small utility knife and a large chef's knife. Use it for:

• Chopping and dicing herbs, onions and garlic
• Slicing and jointing raw meat and poultry before cooking
• Dicing fruit and vegetables for salads, stews and stir fries
• General everyday prep where you want one knife that does most jobs

For finer detail work such as peeling and coring, pair it with the Kitchen Devils Peeler/Paring Knife. If you regularly prep larger cuts of meat or big vegetables, the Kitchen Devils Large Cook's Knife gives you extra blade length.

How to use and care for it

1. Use a rocking or push cut, guiding the tip against the board and lifting the heel to chop through herbs and vegetables quickly.
2. Always cut on a wooden or plastic board. Glass, stone and ceramic boards dull the plain edge quickly.
3. Wash and dry raw meat juices off promptly rather than leaving the knife to sit.
4. Dishwasher safe, though hand washing and drying straight after use keeps the edge keener for longer.
5. A plain edge like this responds well to regular honing; a Kitchen Devils Rollsharp sharpener will restore the edge when it starts to feel dull.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this cook's knife and a full size chef's knife?

This Kitchen Devils cook's knife has a shorter, more compact blade than a traditional 20cm+ chef's knife, which makes it easier to control for everyday chopping and dicing. If you want a longer blade for bigger cuts of meat or large vegetables, the Kitchen Devils Large Cook's Knife is the better choice.

Can this cook's knife be used on raw meat and fish?

Yes, the broad plain edge is suited to jointing and slicing raw meat and poultry as well as fruit and vegetables. As with any kitchen knife, wash it thoroughly between raw meat and other ingredients.

Is there a smaller version of this cook's knife?

Yes. If you want a more compact blade for lighter chopping, the Kitchen Devils Small Cook's Knife is a good alternative, and it's also one of the five knives in our Control knife block set.

Does this cook's knife need sharpening often?

With regular home use, expect to hone or sharpen it every few weeks to keep the edge at its best, more often if you use it daily on a hard board. A ceramic wheel sharpener designed for straight edges will bring the blade back quickly.

Is the Kitchen Devils cook's knife dishwasher safe?

Yes, it's dishwasher safe. To protect the edge over time, many cooks prefer to hand wash and dry it straight after use instead.
