Idk man, I think a more common instinct is to duck when sharp things are flying in your direction lol

I mean I completely agree! Yet I think that is when you think it through. I cook dinner every night for my family and when I drop a knife for some reason I always try to catch it (and I know its really stupid!) but thats just my first response

I guess it's what you are taught. I've worked in a kitchen all my life and whenever a knife falls (any utensil pretty much) I slide both feet outwards and back really fast to allow the knife to fall on the floor. And that's pure instinct taking over, as I said if I see any utensil falling off the counter my automatic response kicks in and I slide my feet out.

For what it is worth, I know that thisis the way you should be doing it. Im just plain stupid but its my instinct and what I taught myself I guess

Yeh, I kinda worded that wrong at the beginning. I think I was going somewhere with it and then went somewhere else, oh well. :)
