I use the rocking motion with my knife, and lately decided to try push-cutting as well.
It seems to me that this technique causes the knife to hit the cutting board a lot harder, even when being very careful.
When I rock the blade, you can hardly hear it touching the cutting board. That's not the case when push-cutting.
Is push-cutting harder on your knife's edge? Is it better to use harder blades (high hrc) with this technique? Or am I simply doing it wrong?
