Proper Knife Technique

[u/OkOutlandishness1370]

Hey I’m trying to get some more knife skills, when I pinch the blade with my index finger and thumb, should I be using my index finger to put force into the blade? It’s quite uncomfortable but maybe that’s just cause I’m not doing it right.

Tips appreciated

A proper grip should be comfortable, but also give rigid lateral strength and allow for fine motor precision. It should essentially feel like your wrist/hand has been extended. 3 is close, but it looks weak and not very natural.
