    Why are you using your palm to use a utensil? It should be all fingers, somewhat like holding a pencil.

      I use my fingers I imagine how you would, but then after a gap wouldn’t you typically have the end of the cutlery resting into or against your palm? At least occasionally, depending on what you’re doing with the cutlery. I love that we’re discussing this, by the way.

        Oh for sure. It bothers me to see people holding cutlery like it’s their first day on Earth.

        Tines down for holding meat to be sliced is when the palm gets in on the action. But that’s a whole different hand from the usual forking.

          Okay sure I can get behind that. I guess I just like the handle to be a consistent shape because I like to have some precision at the back too, palm or pinky.
