Sometimes it’s impractical. After several dangerously deep cuts at work, one of the older guys taught me a fantastic trick, whichever way you have to cut:
Tuck your elbow tight to your sides when you’re cutting something that you’re holding.
It limits your range of motion, preventing serious injuries when your knife slips.
Always cut away from yourself (and others).
