You can get a bit better control if you grip your knife further up, pinching the blade instead of having your index finger on top.

Claw grip, chef! center knuckle (2nd phalange, technically lol) against the knife to guide it with the fingertips tucked back. Pinky and thumb back to hold your gr.onions together closer to the cut. Your wet towel is still a good idea! You got this!

Pro tip:
Top and tail the bunch after wrapping. Then tap the bunch *very lightly* to move the towel to about 3″ from one end. Shave the top off that end to remove the bruised tops. That end (the tight one) is now the one you cut from. When you run out of space, tap the towel down the bunch another few inches. Repeat till you’ve worked your way down.
This keeps the chives you’re cutting in a nice tight bundle for easier precision. Little bit of wastage, but much nicer result 👌

Choke up on the knife and claw grip the ends of the chives together. The wrap around them causes them to splay out on either end so you gotta pinch em.
The knife doesn’t get enough leverage resistance against the chives, which spread out and down away from the edge. The further back you are on the handle, the less consistent force you’re providing on the blade. Try to pinch grip the spine of the blade just above the heel.
The fingertips holding the chives should be underneath and behind your knuckle while trying to grip the bundle beneath. It’ll feel almost like you’re basically holding them with the flat of your fingernails. MIND YOUR THUMB when you do this. Some people have a reflex of sticking their thumb forward when they do this.
Your knuckle can then act as a guide for the flat of the blade so you can always feel where the edge is relative to what you’re holding.

Sharpen knife; then cut chives. That knife is sorta sharp but not sharp, sharp.

Yeah, im not going to lie. I absolutely HATE cutting chives. Very time consuming if you want perfection.
What is with you guys and chives? Is this a chives cult

Looks like your knife is too dull

That’s not how you use a knife.. it’s not a pencil, it’s a knife

Don’t be afraid of the knife – place your hands and fingers closer to the chives to get a finer cut. They’re coming out large because your hands so far away from the chives that you lose control of your cut

Use a rubber band or tie them to hold them together, that with the claw technique and you are ready to go

You need some confidence in holding your knife homie.

Try back-slicing. Not sure if that’s the term. But if you have a sharp blade you won’t crush the chives and it will work smoother

Don’t hesitate. Chives can smell fear.
