I appreciate the method of dividing the tasks into smaller parts and then showing the method slowly and repeatedly. Good education technique.

you should never point a knife towards yourself, especially with a flicking motion. since there's not much pressure on the steel, the knife will be moving quickly and you could (maybe) stab yourself, unlikely, but never point a knife towards yourself
