Maybe sharp knives aren't such a good thing.
 

Have i ever slashed at my finger with a dull knife? Not really. But
what happens when i get them all sharpened up? I get just a little
too close while chopping green onions. Damn thing sliced right
through the nail and took off the first millimeter of the tip of my
thumb.

Sharpen your knives. Bah. That's the last time i take the advice of
this group :-)

Since i seem to be incompetent with a knife, methinks i should invest
in some of these.

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.

Ah, but a cut from a sharp knife heals so much faster.

Put on a finger cot and get back to work.

I still vote for sharp. The glove would be good at times when I'm doing a
lot of cutting. Lee 'Valley is one of my favorite places. The gloves may be
on my next order.

next time please cut things off, a little bit further down your
anatomy. Let Darwinian evolution operate.....

Why respond to this nut? After he comes down off of crack he won't even
remeber posting this, much less who's computer he did it from.
