When you're cutting a veggie, you're holding a veggie in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. Which hand does move closer to another? When you hold a knife with a tip resting on the board and keep cutting moving to the left, you will end up with a knife bottom inclined to the left and not cutting straight. How should be done right?
Here's the video that help you to understand the problem better:

- style 1 - I move the carrot to the knife (this cannot be done with any veggie)
- style 2 - This is when my problem occurs
- style 3 - I tried to cut it right and maintain the knife angle but it was pretty uncomfortable
