BASIC KNIFE SAFETY
Keep the finger tips of your non-knife hand tucked
firmly back and firmly against the food. The knife should be guided by
the flat part of your fingers between the second and third knuckles of
the non-knife hand. Yes, that’s right – the safest way to use a knife
actually involves letting it rest against your other hand. See how my
thumb is sticking out in this picture? It’s that way because it’s
squeezing the onion layers together, but that positioning is not ideal. A
moment of inattention and that thumb could creep forward and could
slice the tip of your thumb off!

ReplyDeleteIt’s a simple guide, but I appreciate your safety measures when slicing the onions. One thing that I have learnt about kitchen knives is that attention is everything. One slight mistake and a finger is off. Thanks for sharing. Here is another great post I read on knife safety: http://survival-mastery.com/diy/weapons/knife-safety-tips.html
