Blades are most commonly stainless steel. Handles and bodies are often made from plastics such as polypropylene or from soft-touch materials like TPR (thermoplastic rubber).
Common handle styles include ergonomic and contoured grips, plus soft‑touch materials (often TPR) for improved comfort and control. Some designs raise the handle slightly to keep knuckles away from the blade.
Common safety features include thumb or finger guards, elevated or contoured handles that keep knuckles away from the blade, and snap‑on blade covers or hanging loops to secure the cutter during storage.
Common storage options include hanging hooks or loops for wall storage and snap‑on blade covers or hanging hoops to protect the blade and prevent accidents in drawers.
