How do you define a push cut? I have been conversing with a person and it ends up we call a push cut two different things. His push cut was starting the cut at or near the tip and then pushing the knife forward. In my opinion that is still really a slice. I think of a push cut better Id say as a press cut. A true push cut is pressed straight with no slicing action at all. However, in reality I do agree a push cut does have a small amount of slice to it but very little. Heck even shaving the blade is angled a little producing a small amount of slice. Is it even possible to cut with a pure pres cut?
