Full details

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vogue Bistro Utility Knife, always hand wash the blade with warm, soapy water immediately after use and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Never submerge the knife in a sink or leave it in a dishwasher, as moisture can damage the handle and cause surface pitting. For storage, utilize a knife block, protective knife roll, or a wall-mounted magnetic rack to prevent the blade from coming into contact with other utensils, which can dull the edge. When the blade loses its sharpness, a simple swipe on a professional sharpening steel or a quick pass on a fine-grit whetstone will restore its performance.
