Klutz glove or the fish filleting glove from the "boys' toy stores" are my thing since I cut my finger several months ago. I also never lay down my cutter without retracting the blade......ever.....and I sure don't leave the darned things lying around for anyone else to get hurt on either. It happens so quickly. As much as I like using a rotary cutter, I must admit, I never had this problem with scissors!
