If this is how you're supposed to hold a knife, why the fuck don't they make handles and blades designed to actually hold it that way?

>true, but slicing carrots also requires focus
How does it require any more "focus" than using a food processor?

>>and I've also cut myself bad doing it.

Knife skills, knife skills, knife skills
Learn how to hold a knife. Learn how to cut veg and meat properly. Learn to dice.
Also learn how to care for your knives and how to sharpen them.
Seriously.
Knife skills are literally step 1. Without them you're going to have a much more difficult time with everything else and possibly be a danger to yourself.

After knife skills are acquired, then start on stocks. Chicken stock, roasted chicken stock, beef stock, white veal stock, brown veal stock, mushroom stock, vegetable stock, fish fumet. Stocks will elevate your cooking to god tier.

You master all of the above and your foundation will be solid.
