Form a fist with your non-dominant hand, palm facing down, to represent the object being cut. With your dominant hand, form an 'A' handshape, which is a fist with the thumb resting alongside the index finger. Slide the thumb side of your dominant hand across the top of your non-dominant fist, mimicking the motion of slicing with a knife.
Sign 'tomato', then use the 'cut' sign by slicing your dominant 'A' handshape across your non-dominant fist to show the action of preparing it.
After signing 'bread', perform the 'cut' sign with a clear, deliberate slicing motion to indicate what needs to be done to the loaf.
Use this 'cut' sign to clearly demonstrate the slicing action of the knife, keeping your non-dominant hand steady as the object being severed.

No, this specific sign represents slicing with a knife, like preparing food. If you want to sign cutting with scissors, you would use a 'V' handshape opening and closing like scissor blades.
Yes, you should always use your dominant hand as the 'knife' performing the active slicing motion. Your non-dominant hand should act as the stationary object being cut.
The 'A' handshape represents your hand tightly gripping the handle of a knife. While there are other variations that use a flat hand to represent the blade itself, this version focuses on the action of holding and using the tool.
