Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The metal blade transfers heat away from your skin more effectively than the wooden handle. When you touch the blade, it rapidly absorbs heat from your hand, causing it to feel colder. In contrast, the wooden handle, which is a less effective conductor of heat, doesn't draw heat away as quickly, making it feel warmer in comparison.
