Is the handle comfortable to hold while grating?

Yes, the handle is large and your hand fits into it well. You have a solid grip on the handle which prevents the grater from moving.

Yes, the handles are on pretty strong and are comfortable. As long as you dont plan on swinging it around with full force, you should be good.

The handle appears to be the same material as found on the base. It is molded on and has a rubbery feel so it is non-slip.I have given two of these boxed graters as gifts, one to my son in San Francisco and the other to my daughter-in-law in Fresno and they love them.

Comfortwise it feels fine in my left hand. I don't know if the slant of the cutting edge would work the same or not. Maybe ask Felco?

I would say it is... I am right handed and the shape of the handle is such that if you hold it in your hand by the handle, the left side of the handle is round, while the right side of the handle kind of protrudes out very slightly to fit into the space where your knuckles bend. Its a very very comfortable knife to use.

No, your fingers are safe and sound. The natural shape of the handle has a scallop for your fingers to dig into. Also, the downward curving back of the blade is unsharpened.

The handle is stationary which I find appealing. You can push it in front of you or pull it behind.

I don't find them uncomfortable to hold. Some of the handle edges may rub you roughly if you rub your hand or fingers at precisely the right angle. It is extremely difficult to do unless you are actively trying to hurt yourself.

Yes, with very little discomfort, especially if your used to "plucking". I love it and recommend it.

yes, the handle is attached with a stainless steel wire grip as shown in picture.

The handle is not abnormally heavy. I really like the design and feel. If you do buy it make sure you really slam the handle into the blade. otherwise it will be wobbly.

Have you had any problems with the curved handle? Does it feel any different compared to the typical straight handles?

The handle is welded on tightly. Takes a little to get use to but I suggest having a handle free one as a go to when entertaining.

The handle is smooth. The curves of the handle fit nicely in the hand which is what gives the grip. As you probably know this isn't the kind of knife one would use for digging/stabbing motions. Your hand would certainly slip under those conditions. It's a great knife if used for the intended purposes. My wife bought this for me and I liked it enough that I recently bought one for her.

I have 3 Switch Sticks and like them all very much. The handles are contoured and fit the palm of my hand very nicely. I do not find the handle uncomfortable at all. The nature of having a walking stick is that you're frequently dropping it or it just falls over when you try to stand it upright (like in a restaurant). These handles do knick but can be easily retouched periodically with Design Master craft spray paint (find a color that matches the handle), available at many craft stores such as Michael's. Hope this helps.

Yes it is. The handle has a rubber grip which fully engulfs the tang. It is very comfortable to grip.

No. If you are nervous, you are more likely to cut yourself. Remember that the tool IS NOT out to get you. You might want to try holding what you are grating with a clean dishcloth. This will give your fingers protection- but you will end up with a stump of whatever you are grating. (If it is cheese, this can be a good thing.)
