Kids! Meet Your New Knife (and Finger Guard)

This is your very own real cooking tool — made just for kids ages 5 and up. It’s not a toy, and you should always have a grown-up with you when you use it.

Your knife is special because it actually grows with you. As your hands get bigger and your skills get stronger, the knife has two different ways to hold it so you can keep leveling up.

How to Use Your Kid’s Knife

Grip #1: The Beginner Hold

  • Grab the back of the handle — that’s where most kids start.
  • It’s covered in soft, grippy silicone so it feels good in your hand and helps keep you steady.
  • There’s also a built-in silicone barrier that keeps your fingers safely away from the blade while you’re learning.

Grip #2: The Big-Kid Grip

  • When you’re ready to cut like a chef, you can “choke up” and use the “pinch grip.”
  • See those grooved trenches near the blade? That’s where your thumb and first finger go.
  • The trenches show you exactly where to hold the knife so you can learn the safest, most controlled way to cut.

How to Use the Finger Guard

The finger guard helps protect the hand that’s holding your food when you cut.

Before You Start

  • Never use the knife or finger guard without a parent beside you.
  • Hold the finger guard so the Misen logo is right-side up

How to Fit It

  • On the back, you’ll see a metal ring — this bends to fit your hand.
  • Slide your middle finger through the ring (or middle + ring finger if your hands are smaller).
  • A grown-up can help squeeze or widen the ring so it fits snugly but not too tight.

How to Care for the Kid’s Knife + Finger Guard

Cleaning

  • When you’re done cooking, hand the knife to a grown-up.
  • The knife is dishwasher safe, so cleanup is super easy.
  • The finger guard can be washed by hand or run through the dishwasher too.

Sharpening + Honing (Parents only!)

  • The blade can be sharpened or honed whenever needed.
  • Both use a 36° blade angle.

Storage

  • Keep the knife in a safe spot where only grown-ups can reach it.
  • Make sure the blade is clean and dry before putting it away.
