The majority of knife accidents I've seen and heard about, are the result of people having a blunt knife.
I agree there's something to that. The one accident I've had with a razor knife was from forcing a dull blade. It slipped and went into the thumb of my opposit hand, cutting through to the bone.

Now, if the blade hadn't been dull, maybe it wouldn't have been forced and slipped. Conversely, if it'd been brand-new sharp I probably would've been having my thumb re-attached....

A funny anecdote: I'm currently working in some pharmaceutical laboratories. Every other person in there is a double-PhD, and yet, they feel compelled to label every razor knife: "Danger: Blade may be sharp!" [Linked Image]
