As I watched he positioned his finger along the top of the blade - fortunately I was watching so that he didn't follow up by slicing his finger open. We won't be buying that style cutter for household use any time soon - would have been very easy to end both the hockey and lacrosse seasons for him in one swipe.

These are not tools for the faint of heart or for the sleep deprived.
