In the selection process, it’s essential to look at the knife’s handle. It isn’t there for the sake of aesthetics. You want a knife with a handle that is easy to hold. When it’s wet, you don’t want something slippery. Look for a knife with a synthetic handle, such as nylon, rubber plastic, or silicone. Stop using handles made of wood, leather, or bone if possible. These fabrics are prone to being slippery and fragile.
