The handle, or grip, is the part of the knife that the user holds. It can be made of various materials, such as wood, plastic or composite, and often contains rivets. Important aspects of the handle include:
- Ergonomics: A well-designed handle sits comfortably in the hand and reduces fatigue during prolonged use.
- Grip: The material and the mouldof the handle ensure a secure and firm grip even when wet.
- Rivets: These hold the handle firmly to the pliers, contributing to the stability and durability of the knife.
