Hes skilled, it happens sometimes, but there's techniques you can do with your hand to limit them greatly. Less worry, more focus, you're not weak too improve.

He didn’t demonstrate properly how to cut the vegetables. there are plenty of better instructions on KZbin that show how to safely do this

[@dosicmyth909]

@@nal004 they way he's doing it is perfectly safe.

[@angusmclean8991]

@@dosicmyth909 he isn't holding the knife properly, finger running along the top of the knife like that lacks control and is how you'll cut your other hand

[@dosicmyth909]

@@angusmclean8991 there's a reason he says it's advanced, and as long as you're keeping the blade against your fingers and have a sharp knife you're not losing control.the reason you don't put your finger on the spine isn't because of control, it's because if you do it all the time it will cause tendinitis in your hand.

[@angusmclean8991]

@Dosicmyth It's not advanced. It's amateur and encourages bad cutting habits. This guy can cut well and is clearly practiced, but he's nurtured a bad habit. I've seen it happen in my 10+ years in kitchen work. Both to myself and others who were learning. When I first started out I held their knife like he does. I was told time and time again by the chef's around me and unfortunately started learning the hard way. I don't know about tendinitis, but that's just further reasoning as to why it's bad practice to hold a knife that way.

[@whatisfzeroanymore2nd]

"you learn how to use a knife like a professional" He says, with improper grip

[@josiahbenedict51]

Definitely holding it wrong

[@rooky3526]

Get out of here, with that pinch grip snobbery. There are vids of Gordon Ramsay not pinch gripping and even a legend like Jacques Pepin have videos of him not pinch gripping his knife, also, let's add another legend to that.....Julia Child also does not pinch grip, shocker right? Ya'll gonna sit there and say that's an improper grip? Grip the knife how it feel comfortable and stable to you. The rule of thumb has always been to get a good firm grip on the knife and let it do that work for you.

Chef here! Never due third technique, that’s how you fuck up the tip of your knife. Any actual chef will tell you that, it also messes up your cutting board.

[@EgyptianFire]

I think he just did it to fill the video up..

[@DiamondSupplyC0]

It’s sad to watch all my friends use a knife. My dad taught me really young and said something along the lines of you’re gonna meet someone like your mom and her dad is gonna see you not know how to use a knife and hate you. One of the best life lesson I ever learned, I’m making tacos tonight for everyone:

Never enter a kitchen with a dull knife. Keep those knives sharp people. Makes the task effortless.

[@villainousTCG]

"Advanced" that was the first style of cut I learned as a cook.

Bruh how did you forgot to mention claw grip? That's like the most important part

[@ofir5796]

Nice thank you very much for the advice

[@stevehofmann9525]

I think you forgot the most important part of the lesson. When learning new knife skills it is important to always start slow and gain speed naturally as your comfort level increases.

[@user-oi9uy2sy9k]

Remember this, Chef. We love you too. I just got promoted. And you've ALWAYS been an inspiration to me. Please, never stop your work.

[@WastingAngel000]

I’ve asked for this tutorial for so long 😭😭 thank you Sonny!

[@DerpsterSwe]

Im learning these, had no idea of just how much the sharpness of the knife matters and why it's important to take care of your knives. Thank you for being a part of my journey to cook better food.

Knowing how to use a knife correctly is the absolute first step in great cooking! The rhythm of the knife sets the tone for all of the preparation.

[@Pluto_56]

You know he can cook when his fridge is completely demolished

[@nutmeggaming11261]

Please remember: being good at using a knife doesn't mean being fast. Only go as fast as your skill permits. I personally go slow and have very good precision

[@encaminopodcast]

that reaction (outro) was so uncalled for

[@LClarke]

You forgot the other half of the technique: What to do with your left-hand fingers. It's the most critical part...

[@user-to2se7hs3r]

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

[@giovannifiorillo5046]

I actually like doing the third method instead of the other two because it feels easier and safer honestly.

[@mikeyjxy]

Only with sharp knives though, I'm using such ancient tools that even sharpening them barely helps anymore

[@ichiban6769]

With a little bit of practice it's not hard to chop at all, the problem most people probably face is how sharp the knife is, you can see that he has a pretty good knife

Weirdly I find the last one easier than the other two

[@andrewnewsome5319]

If I tried the last one my mom would freak out and never let me use a knife “for being too careless” 😂 but the first one is what I use. Interested that see if I can do the second and last one without losing a digit lol

[@YouTube_is_complete-total_shit]

Funny thing is the 3rd one is actually least dangerous as the first 2 are both chopping motions the 3rd is a cutting one and I'm more scared to chop at a finger ( lose the finger ) father then slice the finger ( horrible cut, but still have a finger tip lol ) overall it's more likely to foul up but the damage isn't going to be threw the bone just maybe to the bone which chopping I'd easily go into my bone if I fouled up.
