The "Four Rules" for firearms use are all over the place here, but has anyone done something similar for the use of knives and other edged/pointed tools? If they have, I've never seen it.
I could start with a couple:
1) Keep it sharp
2) BEFORE putting the blade in motion, THINK of where it will go if it slips.
3) (This is redundant to #2, but -- ) Keep your body parts out of the path of the blade/tool.
I'm thinking another might be 'Select the appropriate tool for the job.'
Let's hear yours!
