Kitchen Devils Vegetable Knife 15 Year Guarantee

The Kitchen Devils vegetable knife is the Control range's everyday blade for fruit, salad and vegetable prep. Its fine serrated stainless steel edge slices cleanly through tomato skins, peppers and citrus, and it's built with the range's ergonomic finger-stop handle and taper-ground Japanese steel blade. It's fully dishwasher safe and comes with a 15 year guarantee.

• Taper-ground Japanese steel for long-lasting sharpness

What this knife is best for

This is the Control range's take on the classic Kitchen Devils veg knife shape, with a chunkier, more ergonomic grip than the Lifestyle equivalent. Use it for:

• Slicing tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and salad vegetables
• Coring and slicing apples, pears and citrus fruit
• Topping and tailing beans, trimming spring onions and slicing mushrooms
• Small, precise everyday jobs such as halving rolls or slicing cheese

For bread and cake, pair it with the Kitchen Devils bread knife, also from the Control range. For heavier chopping, see the Kitchen Devils cook's knife.

How to use and care for it

1. Use a light sawing motion rather than pressing down; let the serrations do the cutting.
2. Always cut on a wooden or plastic board to protect the fine serrated edge.
3. Rinse and dry after cutting acidic foods such as lemons 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 it in a block, on a magnetic rail or in a knife guard so the serrations don't knock against other cutlery.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Control and Lifestyle Kitchen Devils vegetable knives?

This Control range knife has an ergonomic handle with a finger stop and a taper-ground Japanese steel blade, backed by a 15 year guarantee. The Lifestyle version has a slimmer, moulded one-piece handle and a 10 year guarantee. Both use a fine serrated edge suited to fruit and veg.

What size is the blade on this vegetable knife?

The blade measures approximately 10cm, which is sized for controlled, precise cuts on smaller fruit and vegetables rather than heavy chopping.

Is the Kitchen Devils Control vegetable knife dishwasher safe?

Yes. It's dishwasher safe, though hand washing and drying promptly will help keep the handle's soft-grip sections looking their best over time.

Why does this knife have a finger stop on the handle?

The finger stop is a raised guard built into the Control range's ergonomic handle. It stops your hand sliding forward onto the blade during use, which makes for a safer and more comfortable grip during repetitive prep work.

Can the serrated edge on this knife be sharpened?

Fine serrations are designed to keep cutting for years of normal use without sharpening. A standard pull-through sharpener will damage the scallops; if the edge does need attention, use a tapered ceramic or diamond rod worked into each serration.
