question 8

what do we sometimes call the method of holding an item that you are cutting with your non - dominant hand in order to avoid cutting off your fingertips?
helping hand
cupping
suction grip
bear claw

Explanation:

• For Question 7: A fine - grained stone is used for honing a blade to its sharpest edge as it can provide a smooth and precise surface for sharpening. Metal rods are more for alignment during sharpening, electric sharpeners may not always get the blade to the absolute sharpest (depending on the quality and type), and limestone rock is not typically used for this purpose.
• For Question 8: The “bear claw” method is used when holding an item with the non - dominant hand to avoid cutting fingertips. In this method, the fingertips are curled under (like a bear's claw), keeping them out of the way of the blade. “Helping hand” is a very general term, “cupping” usually refers to a different hand shape (more open and curved like a cup), and “suction grip” is not a standard term for this cutting - related hand - holding method.

Answer:

Question 7: fine - grained stone
Question 8: bear claw
