🍴1. Pinch Grip
The pinch grip is a preferred grip by professional chefs for its control and stability.
Pinch the blade between your thumb and index finger while wrapping your other fingers around the handle.
This grip lets you guide the knife with greater precision.

🍴2. Handle Grip
If you’re a beginner or prefer additional safety, the handle grip is a comfortable way to start.
Simply wrap your entire hand around the handle, keeping your index finger safely away from the blade.
This grip is especially helpful when cutting large or tough ingredients.

🍴3. Claw Method (Guiding Hand)
While your dominant hand controls the knife, your other hand guides the food.
Curving your knuckles inward forms a claw-like grip, keeping your fingertips safely tucked in and away from the blade’s path.
This guarantees both control and safety during slicing, dicing, or chopping.

🍴4. Firm but Relaxed
Whatever grip you choose, make sure it’s firm but not tense.
Your grip should enable fluid movement and ease, reducing fatigue and increasing cutting accuracy.

🍴5. Practice and Develop Muscle Memory
Consistent practice helps you become more comfortable and proficient with your grip.
Over time, muscle memory will enable you to cut safely, efficiently, and with confidence.
