As stated above, you can't escape it. Luckily though it will eventually turn into a callous if you keep doing knife work and the pain will disappear. Even now, after 9 months of being out of the kitchen I still have some callous left. It will eventually disappear and when and if I get another job that requires lots of knife work I will have to start rebuilding my callous again. Can be kind of painful at first, but trust me it will eventually turn into a callous. |
