Unpopular opinionbehavior: I use little serrated victorinox paring knives for almost all my kitchen cutting and slicing and carving. (For actual paring I use a carrot peeler, lol) And I put them in the dishwasher. And when my kids moved out they each took one for the same thing. I also firmly believe that chopping speed is overrated, slicing is better, and that it’s very much possible to safely hold the food normally with your actual whole fingers instead of the claw grip if you position it to slice away from your flesh and take your time. Even down to the last tiny brunoise square.
