Thus far, I have not cut myself with my Guntings. For those willing to learn how to use it, this is one awesome blade. It helps to have a trainer, but it is also important to think of the trainer as having a sharp blade, and not get careless. For much good information: www.cssdsc.com , www.gunting-museum.com .
I was fortunate. I only cut an old pair of sweatpants that double as my pajamas trying to do open it kinetically. I cut myself when I dropped the knife while doing some basic manipulation to get a *feel* for it. I've never used a knife with G10 handles before. Takes some getting used to.
