Full details
The Vogue Tsuki Series 7 Utility Knife is designed for professional chefs and home culinary enthusiasts who demand precision and durability in their day-to-day prep work. Featuring a Japanese VG-10 steel core and a balanced 12.8cm blade, it excels at delicate tasks like slicing vegetables, fruits, and trimming meats with ease. While it offers superior cutting performance, users should note that the high-carbon steel construction requires dedicated handwashing to maintain its edge and prevent damage to the handle.

FAQs
Can I put the Vogue Tsuki Series 7 in the dishwasher?
No, dishwashers use high heat and abrasive detergents that can damage the Micarta handle and cause the sharp edge to chip or dull.
What does the 60 Rockwell rating mean?
The Rockwell scale measures material hardness. A 60 rating indicates high hardness, allowing the knife to hold a very sharp edge for a long time.
Is the handle waterproof?
The Micarta resin handle is highly resistant to moisture and provides a non-slip grip in wet conditions, but it should still be dried after washing.
Can I use this knife to cut through frozen food?
No, cutting through frozen items or bone can chip the hardened VG-10 steel edge. Use a dedicated saw or frozen food knife instead.
How should I store the knife?
Store it in a dedicated knife block, a knife roll, or on a magnetic wall strip to protect the edge and ensure user safety.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull after regular use
Use a ceramic honing rod or fine-grit whetstone to realign the edge; avoid aggressive pull-through sharpeners.
Surface spots appearing on the blade
These may be signs of oxidation. Clean with a soft sponge and non-abrasive cleanser, dry immediately, and apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife arrives sharp and ready for immediate use. To maintain its performance, store the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge from coming into contact with other metallic tools. Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board; avoid glass, marble, or ceramic surfaces, as these will prematurely dull the high-hardness steel. Handwash the knife immediately after use with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth before storage. Avoid leaving the knife soaking in water, as this can degrade the Micarta handle and risk surface oxidation on the blade core.
