HOW TO GRIP THE KNIFE
 Before you start chopping anything, you want to make sure you’re holding the knife correctly. This means putting your finger and your thumb at the very back of the knife and wrapping your fingers around the handle. It gives you a firm grip and more control when you’re chopping. |
 When you actually start chopping don't lay all your fingers flat. It puts you in danger of losing a finger. Rather, form a claw with your fingers so your fingertips will be protected the whole time. Plus, it'll give you support as you are chopping. |
