Nice looking knives. I am concerned a wet hand could slip forward onto the blade...not much of a finger guard on the slimmer models. Is there a grip? Don't think the metal pearl would prevent an accident...
TJG-MDThe shape of the handle makes it unlikely that you would slip. I have only used the larger knives there the blade makes a natural guard but I've never had any problem holding the knife even though the handle is smooth.
