Nice chart thanks.

I really like plain blades, I like to sharpen knives myself.
I am good at slicing onion, tomato and cucumber nice and thinly.

Only recently learned to slice onion correctly into cubes. Biggest time saver

The action for cutting is probably one of the best tips there..

Once i got that action right it made prep work a whole lot easier and quicker.

You haven't cut something until you've cut it with a nice Japanese or German knife! With my Japanese knives you can easily shave your arm hair without even feeling it and with my wife's German knives she dissects meat in a manner resembling a surgeon working on a human body. Using these blades is actually quite fun.
