Ouch, that's a recipe for disaster if you get a tendon or something critical in the wrong place. I knocked a freshly sharpened axe off a bench onto my finger the other day, should have been a stitch job but did it myself with steri strips... Stupidly managed to get the same spot with the same axe about 7 weeks later just as it healed and opened the same scar just not quite as deep. So sharp tools are both a blessing and a curse! I couldn't blame the dog either haha.

I started down the 'proper sharpened' journey after stabbing myself with a knife so blunt it didn't deserve the label knife, have tried just about every gimmick man has invented and can't go past the scary sharp style guided stone systems with the Cambrian steels.
