The Opinel Le Petit Chef Knife with Finger Guard is an excellent way to be able to let a young child get involved with cooking in a safe way.

The rounded tip helps to minimise the risk of a cut caused by a sharp-ended blade. The finger guard is used on the non-knife holding hand so that its fingers are protected (but in the correct claw grip position adults should use) when they are near the blade holding the food steady for cutting.

The finger ring keeps the forefinger of the knife-holding hand steady but in a sensible position away from the edge of the blade.

So the Opinel Le Petit Chef Knife with Finger Guard helps to keep a young cook safe while still allowing him or her to do real kitchen tasks.
