man!!! u r damn good!!!! have u ever cut ur fingers??

[uppercut999]

@irzahahsaka thank you! :) I have, actually had a few cuts, but mostly when I was a trainee.

too much extraneous action. not bad, but is that seriously a serated knife?? you'd get killed in a professional kitchen using a serated knife for anything other than cutting bread. lol. but yeah, cutting with your wrist moving the whole arc = slow. making the knife point arc and pivoting with your wrist = much faster.

@UCLASeraph I agree. this is a slower technique. I was just fooling around in my mom's kitchen, hence the serrated blade. :)

re: my last post... just watched the vid again. you seem to be slicing left handed at times and right handed other moments. is that camera trickery or are you freakishly ambidextrous?

[uppercut999]

@alanpriceproject Ah! I'd like to say that i'm freakishly ambidextrous but unfortunately, its just how my old Nokia 3250 mixed the video. :)

Actually I wanna know how much did it take you to get to this point? I mean how much time how much training?

[UCLASeraph]

@uppercut999 oh gotcha. lol.

[alanpriceproject]

@uppercut999 P.S. its always good to see another left handed chef out there. avoid global knives as japanese steel always has a 70/30 split on the blade edge which is biased towards the right handers. it sounds stupid but it's true!

@alanpriceproject : awesome.. let me see if i can get my hands on one in India.
