A sharp knife is a safe knife

Using a dull knife is an invitation to disaster.

Never , ever grab a falling knife.

Make sure knife is always completely on your work surface.

Use the right knife for the right job.

Knife injuries occur when laziness induces us to use the knife at hand rather than the correct knife for a job.

Always cut away from - never towards - yourself.

If angle is wrong, turn product around, or cutting board.

When you have a knife at hand, keep your eyes on the blade.

You're unlikely to cut yourself if you're watching the blade, especially the tip.

Carry a knife properly.

Carry a knife pointed straight down, with the blade turned towards your thigh, arm rigid.

Never, ever put a knife in a sink full of water.

Wash immediately, soaking is bad for your knife, and it's dangerous for a knife to be in a sink full of soapy water.

Always cut on a cutting board.

Don't cut on metal, glass, or marble, it can damage your knife.
