I'm going to have to agree with the Cook. If your cutting your self all of the time you're not handling it properly.

I learned my lesson on my first knife when I cut deep into my palm while trying to open a small package. I still have the scar to remind me.

A knife is similar to a gun. It can only hurt someone if you get on the business end. Careful guys tents are hard enough to set up with all of your fingers!
