Who cuts vegetables against their thumb?

I do. Two years ago I cut the tip of my ring finger off cutting corn on the cob so I switched lol.

 

Yep, certain veggies.

 

fung shway(SP) You are always supposed to cut towards your body and you will not get hurt. Been around for a LONG time, and I do this and I never get cut unless I don't do it!

My wife

 

I always use a cutting board...My son sharpens my knives on a belt grinder and keeps them scalpel sharp. If I tried that I wouldn't have any flesh left on my thumb.

He doesn't sharpen my steak knives so in a pinch I could use one for that.

 

always with the cutting bored.. Never towards me... But I am sure all my knives are "'Right Handed Knives" Since I"m left handed, I try to get hubbie to do most cutting up

 

Me...always have and never use a vegetable peeler either. Sometimes I cut myself merely because I have cut a groove deeper and deeper into my thumb and finally hit a soft spot past my callous.
