The permanent tang is inset and contoured to relieve stress on the pinky finger, a common pain point during extended cutting sessions . The contoured, funnel-shaped finger holes allow your fingers to pivot and rotate, giving you maximum comfort with less fatigue in your hand and wrist. This provides a great fit for stylists with small to medium hands .
