What is Reddit's opinion of The Zwilling J. A. Henckels Complete Book of Knife Skills: The Essential Guide to Use, Techniques and Care?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Yes. This! I love Victorinox. When I was first learning how to cook (still learning) I bought the $200 Shuns (kept them because they look cool) but everyday I will reach over them to grab the Victorinox. What I like about them is also what makes them look plain. They have easily sharpened edges that stay that way, great price ($25 vs $250), and their handles are easy to handle when wet. Cannot stress that last point (and pun) enough. Whether you are cutting up vegetables or deboning chickens, being able to maintain a grip is the difference between your vegetable batons staying vegetarian or not.

This book was instrumental in my learning. And every now and again, I refer to it for something weird I need to cut.

I recommend the Knife Skills book. Lots of pictures and clear instructions on how to cut food. You can skip the part about the crabs if you'd like. :|

OP, you also need this:

Hell, everyone who uses knives should know the skills in this book, at least in the kitchen.

Those interested in knife usage for the outdoors (non-cooking) see if you can locate a copy of this:
