Cool video, Dimitri. I always enjoy watching cooking technique clips.
Watching her, as you said, clamp the blade with her fingers instead of
clamping the handle, it appears she has better control b/c she's
guiding the working part of the knife. Will give it a try tomorrow
night while preparing the DH's birthday dinner.

OTOH, I'll likely stick to my mandoline for stuff like slicing
carrots. Way faster and more uniform. You can't use it while sipping
the cooking sherry, however :-)
