Kitchen Devils Utility Knife 10 Year Guarantee

The Kitchen Devils utility knife is a step up in size from the brand's small multi purpose knife, built for jobs that need a bit more blade without moving up to a full cook's knife. Its fine serrated stainless steel edge cuts cleanly through fruit, vegetables, bread rolls and sandwiches, and the moulded handle keeps it comfortable for longer prep jobs. It comes from the Kitchen Devils Lifestyle range, is fully dishwasher safe and is backed by a 10 year guarantee.

Key features

• Fine serrated stainless steel blade that grips into skins and crusts instead of sliding off them
• Mid-size utility blade, approximately 11.5cm long and around 22cm overall, longer than a paring knife but easier to control than a full size cook's knife
• Handle moulded directly onto the blade for 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
• Dishwasher safe, so it goes straight in with the rest of the washing up
• 10 year Kitchen Devils guarantee

What this knife is best for

The extra length over a paring or multi purpose knife makes this the one to reach for when a job is slightly too big for a small blade but doesn't need a full cook's knife. Use it for:

• Slicing larger fruit and vegetables such as apples, courgettes and peppers
• Cutting sandwiches, rolls and bread portions
• Trimming meat and slicing cold cuts
• General prep where you want more reach than a paring knife offers

If you need something smaller and more precise, the peeler and paring knife is the better fit. For heavier chopping, pair it with a Kitchen Devils cook's knife.

How to use and care for it

1. Use a light sawing motion rather than pressing down; serrated edges cut on the draw.
2. Always cut on a wooden or plastic board to protect the serrations.
3. Rinse and dry after cutting acidic foods such as citrus or tomatoes if not washing straight away.
4. Dishwasher safe; if hand washing, dry it rather than leaving it wet in the rack.
5. Store in a block, on a magnetic rail or in a knife guard so the blade does not knock against other cutlery.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Kitchen Devils utility knife and the multi purpose knife?

They share the same fine serrated edge and moulded Lifestyle handle, but the utility knife has a longer blade at approximately 11.5cm compared to around 9.5cm on the multi purpose knife. Choose the utility knife when you want extra reach for larger fruit, vegetables or bread portions.

Is the Kitchen Devils utility knife suitable for cutting bread?

It can handle soft rolls and small loaves thanks to its serrated edge, but for full size bread and cakes we recommend the dedicated Kitchen Devils bread knife, which has a longer scalloped blade designed specifically for the job.

What size is the Kitchen Devils utility knife?

The blade measures approximately 11.5cm and the knife is around 22cm overall, making it longer than the brand's paring and multi purpose knives.

Is this knife dishwasher safe?

Yes. This utility knife is dishwasher safe. For the longest life, load it so the blade doesn't knock against other items and remove it promptly once the cycle ends.

Does the Kitchen Devils utility knife come with a warranty?

Yes, it carries a 10 year Kitchen Devils guarantee as part of the Lifestyle range.

Can the serrated edge on this knife be sharpened?

Fine serrations are designed to stay sharp for years of normal use and shouldn't be run through a standard pull-through sharpener, which can damage the scallops. If the edge does need attention, use a tapered ceramic or diamond rod worked into each serration individually.
