Snapped a knife in half (1 Viewer)

[Clean Sweep]

Just want to share a story.
Today, I was cutting up abalone into smaller pieces for my little brother and snap the blade separates from the rest of the knife maybe cause I applied too much pressure. I'm fine but wow the blade almost (10 cm away) hit my eyes and went flying across the kitchen.
So Question, how do I use a knife safely?

Sad thing is you're right, I just had a look and it wasn't very shape. Also, I was forcing it downwards rather than going back and forth. I'm more more use to forcing it downwards.
