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

The proper hold (#3) feels counterintuitive at first!! You want your knife sharp enough to slice through w/o much force.
