TIL the reason my knife work got faster was not the new blade

After 8 years of thinking I just needed a sharper knife, I spent a weekend in Portland watching a butcher and realized it was all about my grip and the way I curled my fingers under, so now I've been practicing pinch grips for 3 months and my prep time dropped by 20 percent, has anyone else found one weird habit that changed everything?

I used to buy expensive knives. You changed my mind with that 20 percent number.

Read somewhere that Anthony Bourdain said the same thing about grip.
