Cutting Onions

I chop about 50 lbs many weeks. I don't understand this crying while chopping onion thing. As said in a previous post. Sharp, thin knife, preferably about a 10" chefs knife. Use jumbo yellow onions, Vidalia or yellow granex, preferably from Texas. Utah onions are the worst, volatile sulfer compounds cause the onions to be stronger.
Cut off the onion top
Cut off the onion bottom
Cut the onion in half, top to bottom
Peel halves
Lay the flat side down, slice through 5-6 times across the onion
Rotate 1/4 turn, holding the onion slices together chop until 1/2 way through
Rotate the onion to where the radius is towards the knife and chop the rest.
