So stop saying "box cutter" like we're talking a glorified nail file!

I mentioned this once on another thread: One time, I had a utility knife (not sure if it was Stanley brand or not) and had the bright idea to cut a little off something I was holding (stupidly) in my left hand. I applied pressure, something gave, and the knife slipped and cut through the skin and fat pad on the palm of my left hand before I even realized what had happened. It sliced through the tissue like it wasn't there. It was the next thing to a scalpel cut, and luckily hadn't caused any serious damage, but if I had held the knife slightly differently, it would have. Of course, I had to go to the emergency room for stitches, though due to the clean cut they didn't need to get very fancy.
