I like the idea of using flip side of the knife to separate the point and flat. I usually start with the blade, then use my hand to kind of pull them apart. I like your method better and will give it a shot.
By the way, wasn't I taken to task by you for separating the point and flat instead of slicing everything together? Sure looks like what you call "Unbooking".
Awesome video as usual, I love watching them!
