I keep our assortment of knives as sharp as I can. Knives don't cut people,
knife wielding madmen and ****ed off wives do.

My wife is not good with a steel so I do that for her. If there is
something to be cut that she is not sure about, I get the job because she
take warfarin. Normal peeling and cutting are no problem, cutting something
unfamiliar, she gives it to me.

The trick to preventing accidents, of course, is proper handling with a
sharp knife and never forcing a cut. Good idea to keep band aids and stuff
handy too because accidents happen even to the most experienced at times.
