Using a knife and fork is a basic table etiquette skill that everyone should know. It is not only polite but also helps you to eat your food more efficiently and enjoyably.
The most important rule to remember when using a knife and fork is to keep your left hand on the fork and your right hand on the knife. This may feel awkward at first, but it will soon become second nature. When cutting your food, hold the knife in your dominant hand and use the fork in your non-dominant hand to steady the food. Cut your food into small, bite-sized pieces, and then use your fork to eat it. Be sure to chew with your mouth closed and to avoid talking with your mouth full.
