FAQs
Can I put this knife in the dishwasher?
It is highly recommended to hand wash only. Dishwashers can damage the edge and degrade the handle material.
Is this knife suitable for cutting frozen food?
No. Using this knife on frozen foods or bones can chip the high-carbon steel edge.
What is the Rockwell hardness of this blade?
The blade has a Rockwell hardness rating of 52-57.
How often should I sharpen it?
While honing should be done regularly, professional sharpening is typically required only when the edge no longer responds to a honing rod.
Is the handle waterproof?
The handle is designed for kitchen environments and is moisture-resistant, but it should not be submerged for long periods.
Troubleshooting
The knife feels dull after heavy use
Use a honing rod to realign the blade edge. If this does not restore sharpness, the blade may need to be professionally sharpened.
Handle surface feels slick
Clean the handle with mild dish soap to remove oils or food residue and dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Vogue Soft Grip knife is designed for daily use, keeping it in top condition is straightforward.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the knife with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Avoid leaving the knife in standing water or running it through a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the soft-grip handle and degrade the blade edge.
- Storage: Always store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or with a blade guard. Storing loose in a drawer will cause the edge to dull against other utensils.
- Honing: Use a sharpening steel regularly—ideally before every major prep session—to realign the edge of the blade.
- Cutting Surfaces: Always use plastic or wooden cutting boards. Avoid glass, stone, or ceramic boards, as these will cause the high-carbon steel to dull instantly.
