To safely and effectively hold a sharp knife, use a pinch grip technique for better control and precision.
Here's how:
- Handle Grip: Wrap only your pinky, ring, and middle fingers around the handle of the knife.
- Blade Control:
- Place your bent pointer finger on one side of the blade.
- Position your thumb on the opposite side of the blade, creating a "pinch" to control the knife.
This grip offers superior control and prevents your hand from slipping onto the blade, enhancing safety while cutting. By pinching the blade with your pointer finger and thumb, you gain increased maneuverability and precision.
