Authors comments
The tipster uses the knife with both hands. He inserts one thumb into the handle of the knife. The knife is usually used together with a cutting board with nails on it. The knife is used for many purposes, not just for cutting meat and other food, but also for opening envelopes, screwing in screws, cutting off other objects such as cables, and to open containers. The knife always sits out on the counter in the kitchen. The tipster also has a serrated yellow knife. Both work very well.
