Bottom left of center, a train. Not perfect.

You’ll get better results if you take those gloves off.

You’re gonna be cutting chives until you die or Reddit ceases to exist

Why are your green onions so tiny?

Use a knife with a sharpened, honed edge and use a slicing motion instead of a crushing motion. That and before you even cut them, pick through them and get rid of any of the chives that are flat, wilted, sickly/dead. I’d say this gets you 90% there.

There is no such thing as perfection. Have fun cutting.

That one chef guy who was annoyed at the chives posts the other week: 😤

Day 879. The chives are too perfect. Must be an AI created image.

Your knife needs to be sharper – the dark green wetness is an indicator that your knife is pushing through instead of slicing.

Have you tried polishing your edge

What a ridiculous metric by which to measure your worth.
Yes, I know it’s all a bit tongue in cheek.

Where does everyone stand on the appropriate size? Some people swear that chives should be cut square, so the length is the same as the diameter to optimize color and texture.

I have this saved on my phone from the previous chive challenge so I can shame myself while cooking at home.
Edit: Unfortunately, not my work. I thought they were my chives at first when I initially stumbled across the photo again, then realized that is above my skill set. Then I also realized, unfortunately, that is not my knife.

I’ll also say, you’re on the right track but maybe take the photo in a cleaner spot or get all the chives in the cup. We are harsh critics out here on the wild plains of the web and I, Hester R. Snootington wont even consider your chives if they are presented in such a lackadaisical manner!
Good day, sir!

Bro the point is to make small circles. Circles connect just saying a gap makes not circle. Like little green rings. Not saying I can do better

I’m tempted to go and cut chives half a bottle of rum down to show you how it’s done, but will probably just finish the bottle and show you in the morning. Keep at it buddy! 😘
Lil trick… cut in smaller bunches if you want them perfect. I can see on your knife some that are torn and not whole. In the bowl some are bigger than others and some are stuck in chains, showing your bunches are too big.
I see two chives in the upper right quadrant, right next to each other, that are twice the length of all the others. Plus the train of connected chives at the bottom. Plus the unaesthetic pale chive in the lower right quandrant. Try again

Keep going
Post on insta and tag the rate your chives dude. This js better than what I could do but judging from his ratings this would be < 7/10
Your knife edge isn’t sharp enough or your cutting bad chives. See you tomorrow!

Big difference in sizes. Legit, not even close to acceptable in fine dining.
There is gonna be a whole Netflix cooking show based on how well chefs cut chives and onions, all because of this subreddit.
You need to slice, not chop. You are crushing the chives. It’s why you are getting those blasted out green edges and half cut chives
Rings not tubes. See you tomorrow
Bruised, uneven.
You are consistently inconsistent with your cuts…. 🥹 I’m so proud of you
DO IT AGAIN!
Sum ting Wong
OP is cutting a cup of chives twice a day for the rest of their fucking life.
Way too big. I can still see them ffs
You guys are doing it wrong. We should say they’re perfect, and that’ way they won’t make more chive posts in the future lol
So how many people are going to say they are shit just to make sure you have to cut that cup of chives
