got a question on holding a knife

Oookay, what's the question?

 

[critter]

I'm doing some reserch on how chefs hold their knives. I have observed many chefs who grip the knife blade as oppossed to the handle

Are you referring to the "pinch grip"?

I'm fairly certain that Boar_D_Laze will "weigh in" and discuss that. IMHO, it provides more control than gripping the handle for most culinary knife work.
