Let’s first start with an overview of these knives. Fini Cutlery began their business on Kickstarter by 20 year restaurant veteran, Peter Rigas, in New York. Most high-end kitchen knife manufacturers focus their innovation on the fine balance between hardness of the blade (Rockwell Hardness), angle of the edge (European vs. Asian style) and type of steel (Japanese or German steel). Lower-end knife companies pay attention to how pretty their knives look in your kitchen.
There’s no way to use the Fini knives without the pinch grip. Your thumb and forefinger actually pinch the blade, while the rest of your fingers and palm wrap securely around the handle. This grip stabilizes the knife, minimizing wobble, and giving you the ultimate control of the knife.
