Oval handle

Ergonomics
Optimum shape for hand grip and comfort.

Aesthetics
Oval shape was a very popular shape when product was introduced; does not show dirt or oils; blends well with contemporary kitchen environments.

Manufacturing
Shape is easy to mould.

Countersunk hole

Ergonomics
Allows owner to guide product onto a holder.

Aesthetics
The countersunk hole is more subtle than a hole with consistent diameter; the light gives tapered slope an interesting variation of reflection and shadow.

Manufacturing
The hole reduces amount of Santoprene reducing cost.

Fins

Ergonomics
Overall shape of curve echoes oval shape of handle; thin parallel fins make handle appear lighter.

Aesthetics
Allows for comfortable grip with thumb and index fingers.

Manufacturing
Moulding tolerance of fin thickness challenges structural integrity of Santoprene; thin fins give product a high-quality look that displays dedication to quality manufacturing.

Shield and core

Ergonomics
Creates a protective cover over blade.

Aesthetics
Curve echoes shape of the handle.

Manufacturing
Serves as structural core for product; strengthens handle; reduces the amount of metal needed to only the blade; services as structural support for blade.
