Get a big and (important) heavier-than-average 15-incher and use it for both appropriate, and inappropriately small, tasks. Like peeling a kiwi, etc. The weight is advantageous because it sort of forces the rocking motion, makes it more natural for your hand/arm when it is new and feels artificial. The rocking is what speeds up everything. And, honestly, buy a mandoline, because with that you can make batonnets and alumettes, which you can then, should you wish, cut into small dice and brunoise in 1/100 of the time of having done it all with a knife. You can get a perfectly usable cheap plastic one at Uwajimaya for maybe 35 bucks. Just please use the guard when you are new!
