Mine is a textbook example of a self inflicted knife wound that involved separating frozen burger patties with a very sharp knife. Knife slides between the patties and into the palm of my hand. I managed to not pass out and make it to urgent care where they stitched the cut together. Still have some nerve damage. Don't do stupid things with sharp knives kids.

Or dull knives. Maybe butter knives but that's as far as I'd go.

A sharp knife is a safe knife, a dull knife is a dangerous knife.

I like "A sharp knife does what you want. A dull knife does what it wants."

A sharp knife that's supposed to be sharp is a safe knife.

A sharp knife that's supposed to be dull (like a butter knife) is a dangerous one.

That's fair, it is all about the knife being predictable.

Someone had downvoted you and I find that really odd.

I've got nerve damage on two fingers tips, one on each hand, from incidents 20+ years apart. Fucking sucks trying to fish a screw out of a small space, stuff like that. And yes, both times I was being extraordinarily stupid and earned a lifetime handicap.
