I was once told by my mentor in the kitchen, you have Your General (thumb) and your four soldiers (the other four fingers) you must protect your general at all time no matter what. And to this day, I always show the new prep cooks who don't know how to hold a knife this technique

Working on the line and having to do prep one day a very talented coworker of mine showed me how to properly cut and it was a game changer.

Downside is I have carpal tunnel syndrome and my doctor said that it’s common to develop it with repeated movements like prep. Still is obv the most efficient way to cut.

Yeah blade hold is better
I learned few days ago by myself
I tried holding in different ways
And found blade hold is best for me

I'm brand new to cooking and have mostly been doing instant pot recipes and basics like Pasta, Grilled Cheeses, etc on the stove. Do you recommend a knife like this or something like a Chinese Cleaver? So far I've been using a little ceramic knife that doesn't cut very well.

Hey! Love the videos. I was just wondering what size the larchwood cutting board you use in your videos is?

[krantiroshansharma]

The trick suggested is not for every knife. Instead, we have to balance the knife with our index finger and then pinch It with both thumb and indexfinger. in that way there will be even distribution of weight

Absolutely digging that blazen blade. How much for shipping to the US?

"Just let the knife do its thing"

Instructions not clear. I let it do its thing and now I am missing a finger, because that's what knives do.

Actually most people commonly hold the knief at the edge and not the handle

[cockroach]

When i hold it up by the blade its so uncomfortable and kinda hurts i think im doing something wrong😀
