I got new knives last summer and was trying to slice veggies for a pasta
primavera in a hurry because I wanted to be done! I did the same darned
thing! Took a layer right off the tip of my thumb. When the bleeding
stopped, and it took a while, I did go back and finish, but was much slower.
I also recruited a kid to help me, so we got the job done quicker anyway.
