I have seen nothing but your opinion stating the parallel/cross grain
relationship to the knife/pin. Quite the contrary. From what I have
seen it is either a personal preference or a regional tradition.
Where did your info come from?

The knuckleheads that used the pizza cutter are pizza men.
You use a pin for cross's grain and a knife that is angled in for
parallel grain.
If you are a cabinetmaker.

Don't do that! <g>
I certainly thought it was backwards, but as a weekend wood-butcher, I
question my own understanding when presented by a contrary view from
an obvious pro. Thanks for clearing that up.
