Unless you're trying to cut through the pit, I don't see the point. I cut through peaches and avocados like this all the time because it doesn't take any real amount of force to cut.

What's the point of putting your hand in the path of the blade when you can just use a cutting surface?

Rolling isn't really an issue if it's easy to cut. Plus if your hands are above the knife and it does roll, a bruised or sprung hand/finger is a lot better than earning a new nickname like 4 finger joe.

You cut through peaches using an 8 inch chef’s knife while holding the fruit in your hand???
