It is also a good idea to make a deep bellowing under the index finger, which passes into a clear hilt, slightly chamfered at the sides. It prevents from an accidental slide of the hand onto the blade. The handle is ended by a pointy tip serving as emergency glass breaker. Just beneath, it is also a loop for a dummy cord. I rather do not pay attention for these in folders, but in the large utility knives it could be also used to place a loop around the hand during chopping.
