heh... I always get a chuckle out of that dumb ol' adage about a dull
knife being more dangerous. Nonsense. I've never been cut by a dull
knife. I've sure been cut by a sharp one. Bought a new paring knife
and did an old dull knife trick of cutting through an apple by pulling
the blade towards my thumb. Oops! Sucker went straight through that
apple piece and halfway into my thumb. Yikes. I now keep an old dull
cheapo paring knife around for apples.
