Matches are probably next. I hear that somebody once started a fire with em.

So, some clumsy person cut themselves, then complained about it. So, they think people should spend their time and money on gas to return a knife that cost $1???

Silly people!

Knives are sharp.
Coffee is hot
Ice is slippery.
Fire can burn you.....

Life 101!

I sure hope they put a warning label on thongs. I have a picture around here of the problem they cause. Now, where did I put that?

while that seems like a no-brainer, and is certainly true of most cheap, plastic bodied utility knives [those who have had to use one know what i'm talking about] it certainly is a needless risk, when it would be easy enough to design a cheap knife that won't slice your fingers off.

it's not a case of a clumsy person cutting themself, it's a design that causes the back end of the double sided razor to slip throuh the grip and into your fingers.

anywhooo.... i have a solution: buy a decent utility knife. i did, and i'm poor as heck.
