Ate ALL knife users really careful?

Comes with the territory lad. You'll get used to it. If you don't get small nicks every now and then, you aren't handling/using your blades often enough.

Always have a good supply of Band-Aids at home. :D

For as long as I've been careful with sharp objects, I've almost never cut myself seriously.

However, this does not cover the times I've been fooling around. But if I pay attention to "measure twice cut once" (which includes getting fingers out of the way), I almost never cut myself.

That aside, it is not my fault the Paramilitary 2 is so darn fun to play with.

It's not truly yours until it has drawn blood.

As I quote this with New Skin covering a cut from my newest addition, caly 3.5 in zdp.

My first Spyderco (an Endura) that I bought a few years ago came from the distributor with a small box of Band-Aids. It turns out they came in handy.

I cut myself on cardboard more often then I do knife edges.

If you cut yourself then hopefully you will lean not to cut yourself.Some of us learn the easy way and some of us learn the hard way.Some times s**t happens by accident and you can correct and prevent from happening again.A little pain goes a long way.Live and learn is the path I have been down.I rarely cut or nick myself because I have learned to appreciate and respect my knives as a tool.There is always a possibility of cutting myself.Hopefully with some skill, respect, and experience it won't happen.
Best,

Like a right pillock I put my Delica into the fleshy bit of my thumb whilst in the office on Weds! I was going over a report transcription whilst cutting chunks off an apple, and got distracted. Boy, did that bleed!!!! Ended up with it being glued and taped in Accident & Emergency.
I was very embarrassed; not least because if I had used my ffg pm2 rather than the sabre ground Delica I wouldn't have had to push on it so hard.
Schoolboy error. Lesson learned!

sounds like a doozy Chris :D

I don't know if it's care or luck, but I very rarely cut myself with any of my Spyderco folders. I've gotten careless with the kitchen knives a few times, but even those cuts were minor. OTOH, at the moment, I have a gash on the back of one hand that I got today and though might need stitches, courtesy of the metal track of a cabinet drawer. Also have an almost healed small chunk out of one thumb from when I slipped while reassembling a compact 1911 and several paper cuts in various stages of healing.

Knives are like women... They require your full attention all the time. :D

Replace all your kitchen knives with Spyderco models. :)

I stabbed myself to the bone through my quadriceps with a brand new Endura. You know it's your knife when you've washed blood out of the action! 2 months on crutches and a lot of physical therapy!

Other than that, I nick my finger and need a band aid probably once every month or two. When using a knife with an unfamiliar lock design, it's probably 2 or 3 times a week for a bit haha!
