General info:
For cutting we use certain hand positions for the knife holding and for the guide hand, by applying culinary cutting techniques
Most comune hand position for the guide hand is the claw position which purpose is to protect your fingers and to have more control of the item you're cutting and the cutting distance
Using the correct position for your hands during the cutting, will make it more efficiently and also easier and safer
How to hold your knife correctly:
Hold your knife with your dominant hand (left or right)
Grab and hold the handle solid with your middle, ring, and pinkie fingers.
Rest your index finger flat against the blade near the handle and curl the finger back toward the handle, position your thumb on the opposite side of the blade.
Hold the knife firmly but loosely, don't clutch the knife too tight, relax and loose the grip a bit. Tension will make cutting tedious, nonuniform and also use more of your energy.
