except, i would rather try to catch a falling dull knife, it's safer to catch than a sharp one.
(pointing it out mostly because I'm annoyed by the "never try to catch a falling knife" metaphor for the stock market, because a rising knife would be just as dangerous to catch which makes sense but completely nullifies the metaphor.)
On the danger of packaging, there's that terrific cartoon of a guy stranded alone on a desert island trying to open his blister packed survival kit, but then bleeding to death
- sonzohan 3y agoHave you tried to catch either? A dull knife, assuming it can break skin, is a far worse experience. I have cuts from both, but my scars are only from dull knives.

Move your feet/make sure the knife doesn't hit you, but do not attempt to grab it.
