Saw a guy lose half his leather carving to a dull knife at the state fair demo last month

He was going for this intricate floral pattern and the slip just tore straight through the belly of the piece, totally wrecked two days of work, and now I sharpen my gouges before every single session, anyone else had a close call like that?

Yeah slicing my thumb open on a sharp one was a real wake up call for me too.

Wait @jasonf17, is it really that deep though? Cut myself plenty and lived lol.
