Knife safety

Knife safety involves handling knives carefully to prevent injury. Always use a stable surface and cut away from your body. Keep blades sharp—dull knives require more force and are more likely to slip. Use a proper grip, holding the handle firmly, and consider using the claw grip with your guiding hand to protect your fingers. Store knives securely in a block or sheath to prevent accidents. Clean knives carefully, avoiding the sharp edge, and avoid distractions while cutting. By following these precautions, you reduce the risk of cuts and ensure safe, effective use of knives in the kitchen.
