(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 26, 2014 ) Oakland, CA -- Any chef's story would not be complete without the tale of the first time he or she wielded their first tool the knife. Conventional wisdom may suggest that using a kitchen knife is something that comes naturally. But with the rising number of injuries related to the misuse of kitchen knives, that notion seems to be beside the point.

Recognizing the importance of proper training and knowledge, kitchenware brand Finesseur is set to release a guide focusing on the basic knife handling techniques any cook    or chef would need to be familiar with in order to steer clear of unnecessary injuries. The guide shall also cite additional knife handling safety tips.

People assume that slicing and dicing are as intuitive as walking and running. But then, most kitchen injuries involving the knife revolves around not knowing how to use it on a certain food or ingredient. Thus, it is imperative for anyone working in the kitchen to be knowledgeable on the proper way to use kitchen knives in order to avoid injuries.

"As children, we may have had the chance to play with molding clay and carry out our cooking masterpieces with it. Slicing and cutting with our plastic knives seemed pretty easy back then. But then as we grew older, we realized that handling kitchen knives, or any knife in general, is no child's playespecially when we end up cutting ourselves in the process of this realization. We, at Finesseur, recognize the importance of proper knowledge to practice safety and that is why we have decided to launch a guide that will help equip our consumers with the proper know-how of using their kitchen knives," Finesseur spokesperson Allison Montgomery says.

According to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), knife accidents at home resulted in 330,000 hospital visits in 2011. A Recent 2013 study also concludes that there were a total of 8,250,914 knife-related injuries that were treated in the United States from 1990 to 2008.

The importance of practicing safety in the kitchen can never be underestimated and left to chance. "We all know the virtue of the trial-and-error method. However, when our health and safety are involved, practicing that method may not be the best option. It is still ideal to arm oneself with proper knowledge and information in order to avoid minor and major injuries. The guide that we shall provide follows the goal and objectives we at Finesseur have set in helping promote a healthy and safe society," Montgomery explains.

The kitchen knife is undoubtedly one of the cook's most precious tools.
