8 Kitchen Safety Tips

Beyond providing our customers with knives of the utmost quality and craftsmanship, we at Kamikoto want to ensure that everyone using our products is doing so in a safe matter.

That is why we have compiled a list of general safety tips every knife user should follow, in which we are humbled to share with you.

General Knife Safety Tips

• Keep them sharp – dull knives cause more injuries than sharp ones
• Always use the right knife for the particular job and food type
• Use a wooden chopping board as other forms – such as glass – dull knife blades
• Secure your cutting board with a damp tea towel underneath to avoid slippage
• Never use your palm as a stabilizing surface for cutting
• Handle knives carefully when washing
• Store knives securely after use – in a wooden block or container
• Ensure all employees are trained appropriately in knife safety, usage and sharpening

We hope that this list is useful for some and encourage everyone to practice employing caution while using knives.
