Avoid Cutting Yourself

Avoid Cutting Yourself

Learning the best way to handle knives is the easiest way to avoid cutting yourself.

  • Learn basic knife skills.
  • Never cut toward yourself.
  • Ensure you are using the appropriate knife for each job.
  • Wash knives with blades facing away from you.
  • Knives should be kept clean and dry in storage, with the blades protected, not loose within a drawer.
  • Don’t walk with knives pointing out—hold it at your side, pointing down.
  • Don’t leave a knife dangling over the edge.
  • Never leave a knife in the sink with other dishes. It is bad for the blade and increases your chance of an injury.
