If you do like is shown, you have to hold the sides in, which gives an uneven cut and increases the risk of slicing a finger.
Horizontal before Vertical! Less likely to fan out.
That looks like the most complicated way to dice an onion I’ve ever seen. Like SATHAN777 said, the chance of cutting a finger is too high with this method.
Why bother with the horizontal at all? I’ve been dicing my onions professionally for years with the same basic method, minus the horizontal cut. As soon as you do anything with the onion (stir or cook), it will break up mostly along that axis anyway. Waste of time and blood.
