That might be good for pastry; but I sure wouldn't want to use my fingers to
prepare hard boiled eggs for egg salad or the yolks for deviled eggs.
There's nothing like a pastry blender to do these tasks.

You can also use your fingers. That's what I do.

You can use 2 knives, 1 held in each hand, and sort of chop the flour into
the butter until you have a crumbly mixture. I hold the knives, butter
knives by the way, with the points pointing in, not away from me, and I
try
to keep the blades pretty close together, blades down. You can also use
the
flat of a fork and press down, making sure you stir the loose flour in
from
the sides too and press it in, till you have a crumbly mixture.
I hope this isn't too confusing.
