Reasons to be careful with a knife, 1

OK this is what happens when you loose concentration when chopping with a very sharp knife...

The years I spent trying to persuade my mum to buy really sharp cooking knives are a little wasted now.

If only there had been a little voice just before I picked up the knife... "Be careful with that, its sharp" and I may have not lost a very small part of my thumb.

On the bright side there was no blood and I only had more importantly minimal food waste.
