I managed to bury a blade deep into my palm just below my thumb. Just a little bleeding, but no stitches. However, I severed a nerve and couldn't feel my thumb for about a year. Its since resolved itself.

Yes, I think you are right. It goes back to anchient history when men wore pants, women skirts. Women tend to spread thighs to catch fallen object while men clap them together. I wonder if this is still so with changes in dress habits?
Try it with your young male/female kids, grand kids.
Yeah I had the last Xacto post... New found respect for the darn thing for sure!!! I think if someone came out with a better handle they would be safer. Maybe something in a retractable that is not round and the grip by nature would not promote turning it the wrong way. Wonder if CA would work on cuts.

CA works on cuts so well that a "Loctite" representative told me they use CA in hospitals after open heart surgery. It is less traumatic for the patient and holds together better then staples/stitches. I use it on hang nails all the time too.

Hi Doug.
Some time ago, I was seeing my doctor about something or other and happened to mention CA glue.
He said that CA glue is used to glue in artificial hips after hip replacement surgery. He went on to say that it is exactly the same glue that we use building model planes, the only difference being that the medical glue is manufactured under sterile conditions.
