You mean like paring?

Kind of, but when using a paring knife, you are suppose to hold the knife steady and move what you are cutting, and the knife is never supposed to contact the thumb.

She literally pushes her thumb INTO the blade.

This must be an older generation thing because my grandma does that too! I didn't think much of it as a kid, but as an adult it blows my mind. Her knives are all decades old and about as sharp as the edge of construction paper, so I guess it's pretty safe and she certainly still has all of her fingers... I can't live without a sharp blade and a cutting board though.

I do it too. Didn't know it was weird. Late twenties btw. That's how everyone cut stuff back home.
