I think proper knife handling is very important and it doesn't take a lot to correct it. | They say dull knives cause more accidents than sharp ones and I'm thinking that the average home cook probably doesn't sharpen or use a steel very often. That's not to say that even someone adept with a knife couldn't have an accident. Look at the cooking shows on TV. Every now and then someone will get burned or cut. Not that it was with a knife, but I think by now everyone's seen Mario's first show on the FN where he was grating cheese and grated his finger and said there was blood everywhere. He said he plunged his hand into a bowl of tomatoes so no one would know. Back then they just kept the cameras rolling and when they came back from the station break, he had a towel around his hand for the duration. I worked in an auto claims office for over 26 years and the saying around there was "That's why they call them accidents ", LOL.
