What do you guys like as a cutting position?
I usually open up my right shoulder, rotate it internally a little bit and approach at a 30 degree angle so that the knife is a natural extension of my hands with my wrist straight.
I have a pet peeve when people approach the cutting board straight on and then proceed to cut with their wrist perpendicular to the board; it's just uncomfortable. They have their elbow tight against the body and the wrist bent distally, the cutting mechanics then become stiff and unnatural to my eyes.
