Kitchen Devils Vegetable Knife 10 Year Guarantee

The Kitchen Devils vegetable knife is the Lifestyle range's everyday blade for fruit, salad and vegetable prep. Its fine serrated stainless steel edge slices cleanly through tomato skins, peppers, cucumber and citrus without crushing them, and the handle is moulded directly onto the blade for a hygienic, one-piece join. It's fully dishwasher safe and comes with a 10 year guarantee.

• Compact size, approximately 10cm of blade and around 21cm overall
• 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

This is the Lifestyle range's dedicated veg knife shape, with fine serrations designed for fruit and vegetables rather than heavy chopping. Use it for:

• Slicing tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and salad vegetables
• Coring and slicing apples, pears, citrus and other firm fruit
• Topping and tailing beans, trimming spring onions and slicing mushrooms
• Everyday jobs like halving rolls, slicing cheese or preparing a packed lunch

If you also need peeling capability, the peeler and paring knife combines both in one tool. For a slightly longer everyday blade, see the Kitchen Devils utility 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; hard surfaces blunt serrations quickly.
3. Rinse and dry after cutting acidic foods such as lemons or tomatoes if not washing straight away.
4. Dishwasher safe. If washing by hand, dry it rather than leaving it to sit wet in the rack.
5. Store it in a block, on a magnetic rail or in a knife guard so the serrations don't knock against other cutlery in a drawer.

Frequently asked questions

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

They're very similar in size and both come from the Lifestyle range with a fine serrated edge and moulded handle. The vegetable knife is marketed specifically for fruit and veg prep, while the multi purpose knife is positioned as a slightly more general everyday blade. Either works well for salad and fruit prep.

What size is the Kitchen Devils vegetable knife?

The blade is approximately 10cm long and the knife measures around 21cm overall, making it a compact, easy to control size for fruit and veg.

Is this vegetable knife dishwasher safe?

Yes. It's dishwasher safe. To keep the serrated edge performing well, avoid letting it knock against other items in the dishwasher basket.

What's the difference between the 10 year and 15 year vegetable knives?

This 10 year guarantee knife is from the Lifestyle range and has a slim, moulded one-piece handle. The 15 year guarantee version is from the Control range, with a chunkier ergonomic handle featuring a finger stop, and a taper-ground Japanese steel blade. Both cut equally well.

Can the fine serrated edge be sharpened at home?

The fine serrations are designed to hold their edge for years of normal use and shouldn't go through a standard pull-through sharpener, which can damage the scallops. If sharpening is needed, a tapered ceramic or diamond rod worked into each serration is the correct method.
