Bragging rights -- or not

I was holding my nikiri parallel to the floor in the kitchen a week ago, and my girlfriend backed into the business end with her arm.
It barely touched her, and she was experiencing the epidermal leakage grepper warns of.
It was like a paper cut, but it was a bit more than an inch long.
She looked at me and said 'that knife is insane, why would anyone need a knife that sharp', my reply was 'isn't it cool'.
