How to Handle Your Knives Safely
Also the more practice and use of a knife will give the skills needed for safe handling. Skills are essential with the use of any tools.
* Cut away from your body, never towards yourself.
* Should you drop a knife, let it fall, don’t try to catch it. You can cut yourself.
* When handing a knife to someone, always close it first, or sheath it, set it on a table with handle towards the person, or give it handle first, making sure the person has a hold on it before letting go of it.
* Don’t use a knife for prying, it could cause the tip to break.
* Keep your knives sharp, cleaned and oiled lightly. They will last far longer and give you better results.
* Never run with an open knife in your hand, you could easily trip and cut yourself.
* Use a sharpening stone to sharpen your knife. Never use a power grinder, it will ruin the edge.
* Be aware of your surroundings, have a well lighted work area.
* Stay focused on your task at hand, don’t be distracted by others.
* Use your dominant hand whenever using a knife.
* Don’t use a knife to cut electrical wires, use the correct tool for any job.
* Keep your knives sheathed or folded when carrying or not in use. Leather sheaths are not the best for storing knives for a long period of time, as the chemicals used in tanning them are corrosive for certain blade types.
* If you should happen to cut yourself, get first aid immediately.
Knives are a great tool when used properly. They can be used for a multitude of projects, in the kitchen, the garage, outdoors when camping, hunting and fishing. Carry a small pocket knife with whenever you go places, except of course to a courthouse, or on an airplane, you can always pack it with your checked luggage for a trip on a plane. Due to the complex and changing nature of knife laws, it is your responsibility to investigate and comply with international, federal, state and local laws relating to the purchase, possession, use and transport of knives. Consult applicable laws if ever in doubt.
