| Well, you'll be glad to know, the new autoloading utility knife works!
I drew some blood with it. ;)

This puts you in the "no sharp instrument" filter......

I'm trying to think how many times I have cut myself with a utility knife and it
must be at least a dozen times maybe even two dozen. Only once seriously but
these are nasty tools.
The Olfa allows you to leave 3 inches of razor sharp blade exposed. Great for
cutting insulation batts but very dangerous as well. The upside of an Olfa is
you always have a sharp point due to the snap off blade meaning it doesn't slide
across surfaces an attack you like the regular utility knife blades.

I've cut myself many times: the worse was slipping on the edge of a
jagged tile, give me a knife - won't hurt so bad.
I saved my fingers early by leaving one butcher shop apprentice job as
a teen.

Try hopping an 8ft rusty barbed wire chain link fence as a kid and the
wire snaps as you go over the top holding it between the barbs. You fall
and natural tendance is to grasp hands closed. First time I saw my bones
not on an x-ray.
OK, so it's not a tool story. Made ya cringe though didn't it?
p.s. Yep, just looked. Scar still there from wrist to almost tip of
middle finder.
