The amount of "danger" all depends on what you're used to and the care you take in using the tools at hand. Sewing, in all it's many forms, is chock full of sharp instruments; it's only logical to use them for 'alternative' purposes. Ripping seams with a blade of any kind makes perfect sense and when I don't care about stretching the fabric, I simply use one blade of my 5" scissors.
