An almost indispensable book in the kitchen is Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques. If you were to read the section on knife skills, you'd see it says that when chopping vegetables the kife should be buffet against the middle section of the fingers of the left hand, with the tips of the fingers curled inwards gripping the vegetable.This would mean that if you were to look up at the TV whilst chopping hot chilli peppers and forgot to simultaneously stop chopping, you won't slice right through the fleshy part at the top of the thumb with your chilli doused knife.
Sound advise. I just wish I'd bloody well stuck to it.
