I use a thick bladed 9" chefs knife. Always chop hard vegetables with a rocking motion to the knife. Set the point of the knife down to the cutting board and use this point as the pivot for the knife, rocking the blade up and down. NEVER chop by lifting the knife off the board and chopping down like an axe, this will dull the knife in no time, and is dangerous, as a slip could relieve your other hand of it's fingers. **The only exception to this is in using a cleaver which must cut through bone.
