🍳1. Consider Your Hand Size and Grip Style
Everyone’s hands are different. Larger hands often benefit from knives with longer, slightly heavier handles for better control and power, while smaller hands tend to prefer lighter, more agile handles. Experiment with different grips—pinch grip, handle grip, or claw grip—to find what feels most natural to you.

🍳2. Weight and Balance Matter
A knife that is front-heavy or handle-heavy can cause fatigue during prolonged use. ARTIDGE knives are engineered to achieve optimal balance between the blade and handle, allowing you to cut comfortably and precisely for longer periods.

🍳3. Choose the Right Blade Length and Shape for Your Needs
Blade length impacts maneuverability and cutting efficiency. An 8-inch chef’s knife suits most home cooks, while smaller Santoku or Nakiri knives offer greater precision. Different blade styles cater to various cutting techniques and ingredients, so pick one that aligns with your cooking style.

🍳4. Pay Attention to Handle Material and Ergonomics
High-quality handle materials like stabilized wood, composite, or resin enhance durability and grip, reducing slippage. Ergonomic handle designs ease wrist strain and improve safety during extended use.

🍳5. Try Before You Buy, Whenever Possible
Handling the knife yourself or simulating cutting motions before purchasing helps ensure it truly fits your hand. If buying online, carefully review user feedback and return policies to minimize risk.
