Very sharp knives are generally regarded as “safer” but it can go wrong and in my experience, it can go quite badly wrong.
What are your worst, (accidental!) self inflicted knife injuries?
Aged 8, I was carving a champagne cork with a basic and new SAK; I slipped, it went straight through the palm of my hand; with a tourniquet applied, my mum decided it was best to drive me to hospital in my dads new (at the time) Golf GTI, which ran out of petrol on the dual carriageway (two lane highway); so there is stood, blood everywhere, thumbing a lift.
One came very quickly and whisked us to hospital where I was sewed back together...
More recently I tried to open a sticky epoxy resin lid with my (now lost) Enzo PK70; slipped onto my thumb knuckle, exposed bone.
I’ve also had a nasty slice from an SAK folding onto my finger; I do like at least a slipjoint now!
Oops.
