Here's a link I found taking Wade's advice from a kitchen book mentioning sharp knives and their importance. Good luck and keep trying
Thanks for finding that!
1. Handle knives with respect. Professional chefs have their own collection of kitchen knives, which they care for, maintain, and use daily. As a general rule, you should not be using someone else's personal knife without obtaining the owner's permission to do so. Use the knife with care and promptly returns it after using. Many people will engrave their name on the blade of the knife, so that they can identify which knives belong to them. If you work in a large kitchen, this is generally a good idea.
Didn't GB's Mom use his knife without his permission, and she didn't handle it with proper respect? She also didn't promptly return it after use. GB's Mom totally broke rule #1! 
2. Keep knives sharp. Learn the proper techniques for both sharpening and honing knives. A sharp kitchen knife not only performs better but is safer to use because less pressure is required to cut through the food. When too much pressure is required, the chances of the knife slipping and causing injury to the user is great.
GB obeyed rule #2, but his Mom yelled at him for following the rules! 
3. Keep knives clean. Clean knives thoroughly immediately after using them. Do not leave them lying in or near the sink. Work carefully, and pay great attention to what you are doing, so that you do not cut yourself as you wipe down the blade.. Sanitize the entire knife, including the handle, bolster, and the blade, as necessary, so that the tool will not become a site for food cross contamination. Keeping knives clean helps to extend their lives. Never drop a knife into a full pot sink. The knife might be dented and nicked by heavy pots; also, someone who reaches into the sink could be seriously injured by grabbing the blade accidentally. Also do not clean knives in a dishwasher, because the handles are likely to warp and split.
Looks like GB's Mom broke this rule too. She didn't clean the blood off immediately after using the knife. She didn't use it carefully and pay great attention to what she was doing, so that she cut herself.
You should print this out and show it to your mother GB. Show her you were doing everything by the book, and she was doing everything opposite from the book.
I happened to be washing the dishes @ the time and she said just because you're doing chores, it doesn't mean you getting them back. 
what he does on his own is his problem
