2. Scraping food off your cutting board using your knife

This only makes our knife's edge dull and  blunt thus ruining it. You will use much energy to cut your vegetables the next round and you can end cutting yourself since it might slid off.

3. Catching a falling knife

This should not be right time to catch your knife lest you land your fingers on the blade. You should pick the knife once it rests safely on the ground.
