That grip that Seaport-hime has on the blade of the knife...

Her claws are huge so she would have a hard time holding a knife.

Besides, her claws are probably harder than the knife anyway so she'll be fine.

That's not that uncommon, actually. It's said to give better control for fine cutting tasks, though I'm not sure chopping a carrot qualifies...

Hoppo-chan's carrots deserve the best treatment possible.

Gripping the base of the blade is the technique, but not holding it right by the section you're cutting with. Then again, the handle probably is too small.

Very common in asian cooking, usually done with chinese chef knives but I've also held smaller knives like this.

I reckon its just the proportions thats off-putting and that it is indeed a chinese chef knife she is using but her hands are just giant.
