Our old winner impressed our 8- and 9-year-old testers. Its wooden handle has a small, round finger hole that encourages kids to hold it safely and securely. The children said that it helped them get a “good grip” on the knife. It comes with a plastic finger guard, which shields the fingers on the hand holding the food. (We did not have children test the guard.) The knife's rounded tip protects kids from accidental nicks, and our testers liked that the blade “felt sharp” enough to cut through all foods with ease.

Our young testers preferred this model's small wooden handle and additional finger ring. One said it “gave me a better grip, which meant I was more in control” and described it as “the most comfortable.” This model struggled slightly with thick apple skin, but it performed ably when we used it on potatoes and carrots.

Depending on the food being prepared, you will use different parts of the knife blade and different motions.
Here are three basic motions to practice.
Small Items: Keep Tip Down
To cut small items, such as celery or scallions, push blade forward and down, using blade’s curve to guide middle of knife through food. Tip of blade should touch board at all times.
Large Items: Lift Blade
To cut large items, such as eggplant, lift entire blade off board to help make smooth strokes through food.
Mincing: Use Both Hands
To mince herbs and garlic, grip handle with one hand and rest fingers of other hand lightly on knife tip. This grip facilitates up-and-down rocking motion needed for mincing. To make sure food is evenly minced, pivot knife through pile of food as you work.
