Tim Ferriss is an amazing teacher, these Knife Skills are beautifully illustrated (and more in-depth) in his new book 4-Hour Chef. pages (166-177)
His new book is awesome, check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/The-4-Hour-Chef-Learning-Anything/dp/0547884591 and great for visual learners.
I shot this video while attending a two day workshop with Tim in Seattle, and just wanted to say that he is a genuine, humble, and all around cool person.
The workshop was put on by CreativeLIVE and is really entertaining and informative: http://www.creativelive.com/instructor/tim-ferriss
