Knife Cutting Skills

[ThEoRy]

Take your time with the carrots. No rush. They will **** your **** up beyond recognition.

Eamon does a good job of explaining the basics in his series. You can tell it's not the first time that he's told someone this stuff....
This cutting motion video belongs in this thread, but the others on hygiene and safety, and grips are good for new folks to watch too.

Thoery is also someone to spend some time watching, -just copy the technique, but reduce the speed to about 1/10th at first.
Here's one of my fav's with some good carrot ownage at the end:

Those videos helped. I have watched quite a few of Thoery's videos was well. I think more practice and maybe some brief instruction will get me where I want to be.
