In reality, if you understand the position of the hand well, you will not show yourself desperate and, after being ridiculed by the other diners, you will not be forced to replace them with the classic cutlery, fork, and knife.

The second is to be held between the index finger and the thumb; the thumb’s tip must be positioned on the side of the wand, while the index and middle fingers move away from the movable rod, which has the task of grasping the food. The upper rod must then move to meet the lower, which will always remain stationary.
