I am a novice sharpener. Learning to use diamond stones.. I have a few double edge microtech’s and when I switch to the second edge, I tend to poke my thumb with the tip…. (Just the tip 😄). As I pat the nick with a napkin, it gives me a great feeling of a job well done, and bonds me with that particular blade. Maybe weird or maybe a normal, but I like it…

So I’m not crazy! 😁 It’s when you switch sides and you poke the top of your thumb.. I have a MT Dirac and that tip is nasty sharp. It so sharp it takes a 30 seconds to realize that I nicked my self. It gives you a feeeling of gratification.

I dont own any double edged blades but have tested edges and drawn blood without intending to do so.

Definitely not alone. I tend to grin like an idiot when I nick myself with a newly sharpened knife. If it's keen enough to draw my blood when I'm deliberately trying not to cut myself then it's certainly sharp enough for my needs. My wife thinks I'm nuts.

She's not enrirely wrong.
 
If I nick myself with a knife, chisel, plane blade, or anything else, the first think I think is: "Dang it, I screwed up".

No blood bonding for me.

 
The disorder escalates another notch when you nick yourself and smile, then grab the camera phone to take a close-up picture of the wound for study. I've done that... 🤔
