How to hold your knife properly when
chopping
First of all, you want to start with a very sharp knife
I use one of these little things to sharpen the knife
I suggest that after every use, or at least once a day if you use your knife a lot, sharpen your knife
That will insure more safety in your kitchen
The next thing is, hold it properly
Take these 3 fingers right here...this is where your knife is going to rest
When I'm shopping for knife, I always made sure that this is a good weight for me
And it's comfortable, and that's a great way to shop for the Chef's knife
And this is the knife I use for just about everything
Now you wanna take your thumb and your
forefinger and pinch
Never do this
Never put your finger down like that, that's not safe and you won't chop properly
Pinch right here; rest, pinch, and then begin to chop 
That's It. Happy chopping!
