Most accidental cuts Happen with a dull knife. Because you add extra pressure with the knife hand.
So keep it sharp. This takes just abit of maintenance every time you use it. If you don’t do this maintenance, then you will lose the edge and have to sharpen the blade with a sharpening stone that grinds material away.
Maintenance:
Before every use of the knife, run it on the sharpening steel. (If you don’t have one, buy one made by the same company that made the knife.)
You need to do this every time you use the knife.
You also need to pay attention to the style of knife you have. A Santoku blade needs a different angle on the steel then a chefs knife .

Hand wash the knife.
