I've never figured out what's best for cheese-slicing. Serration... noted.
I think I've seen the onion-cutting technique, but I don't remember... Does it require cutting towards your hand? I mean, how do you hold the onion? Is it dangerous? How do you get the skin off the onion beforehand without cutting it?
Is the offset serrated better than an um... onset? serrated? Seems like you couldn't apply as much force...
I use the chef's knife for everything. But I think the main thing is that I don't do such a variety of stuff as you in the kitchen...
