Why was I born stupid?

It is safe to test the edge by running your finger across it, not along it. Running your finger along it is just foolish.

Stop when you get to bone.

Maybe you do it with great care, David, but if I'd sharpened that sucker (it's a new one to me) she'd still be wearing the band-aids the way she did it. I think the most unsettling part was when I politely asked her to stop and she just laughed and kept going. Again, I should never have handed it to her in the first place because then my baby was out of my control.
I'm going to remember this later in life when I have children and people ask to hold them . . . . .

(and personally, I take shavings off my fingernails to test knives, or shave a bit of hair if it looks like it'll do it.)

I think that we should all buy some really cheap folding knives (< $5), sharpen them until they're razors, and leave them lying around colleges and bars (adult-type places).

We'd cut the local moron population in half.

I'm also going to add that you should think twice before handing over a liner lock or liner lock variant (like a MT micro-bar) to a non-knife person, even one that knows more about sharp objects than a normal person. It's kind of like watching a chimp figuring out how to close something only with the chimp in danger of slicing themselves and getting finger prints all over the blade . . .
