I am right handed! Had the blade in a vice & concentrating that hard on getting it sharp I forgot my health and safety.. I've seen plenty of nasty cuts in the building trade, worse than when I worked in kitchens... At least knives cut cleanly...

I sharpen mine with a blade-tec and the edge it gives is second to none but there have been a few close wrist spurters :laugh:

I saw a blokes hand cut in half across the knuckles by a chainsaw once. That was interesting! We had just finished cutting up a fallen tree into logs. There was brambles grown up around it and one fella was picking up the logs putting them in the truck and the other fella was sweeping the chainsaw back n forth sideways clearing the brambles. And dopey sticks his hand in the way trying to grab another log!

 

And some twat asked him if he was ok! Lol!
