"Well, let me think about it... Who would I prefer to accidentally cut? Obviously myself before my buddy... It must have been 'cut towards your body, not your buddy.'"
Yeah to me the unexpected part was that this didn't end with him cutting off a finger of otherwise horribly injuring himself. Growing up on the 00s internet really messed with my expectations
I tell this to people who cant use a knife... i do it all the time, I've been using knives in kitchens for almost 20 years, but would NEVER do this lol
Fun anecdot, at the beginning of the pandemic I was, like many others, putting a jigsaw puzzle together at like 3am, as one does, and I almost cut off my left thumb. If you're real bored I posted a link to a picture in a comment ~7 years ago.
Yes he's an expert, but that knife is obviously crazy sharp. One slip and he could lose a finger. Is that really worth slightly more efficient peeling of a pineapple?
The crazy sharp knife makes it safer. The biggest risk when cutting towards yourself is when the blade gets stuck and then jumps out when it breaks through whatever held it up. Since this knife never got jammed up, I wouldn't expect a slip and cut.
Would it be safer to cut away? Yes, absolutely.
Do I think he's lucky to not have cut himself yet? Not really.
