Tip on how to keep your fingers safe while cutting.

Reviewers Note:

While cutting anything safety is the first thing to ensure. You dont want to chop your fingers off!!
Chef Vibs offers some useful tips on using the knife.

Curl the fingertips of your guiding hand slightly (the one holding the item to be cut) on the item after holding it down.
Keep the thumb at the back and rest the knife blade at the knuckles.
When the knife moves up and down while cutting, the knuckles of the guiding hand keeps the blade of the knife at a safe distance from the knuckles.
