Handle Condition: Ensure the handle is securely attached to the blade. A loose handle can cause the knife to slip, leading to accidents. Check if the handle is greasy or wet. A slippery handle can make it difficult to maintain a firm grip, increasing the risk of injury. Blade Sharpness: Verify that the blade is sharp. A dull blade requires more force to cut, which can lead to slips and potential injuries. Regularly sharpen your knives to maintain their effectiveness and safety
