What are the Best Practices for Beginners in Knife Grip and Body Alignment?

When you’re starting to learn how to use a knife, here are some helpful tips that made a difference for me:

  1. Grip: Hold the knife tightly with your strong hand. Pinch the blade with your thumb and index finger. Then, wrap your other three fingers around the handle. This will give you better control.

  2. Body Position: Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Use your other hand in a claw shape to protect your fingers while guiding the food.

  3. Posture: Keep your back straight and lean a little forward. This way, you can stay balanced and focused.

Have fun chopping!
