Thanks for that! Now can you tell me why you're holding each knife with your thumb so far back??
There are several reasons why I place my thumb in that position:
1) I was trained to do that.
2) It is also very comfortable for me.
3) I do not want my thumb to be as far down on the blade as you show in your pics. So the front of the handle is a natural thumb rest for me.
