Same here. I think there is a reasonable explanation though, and I've started to identify perfectly safe situations where accidents are waiting to happen.
Number 1- The knife at rest. It's sitting there minding its own business, and I forget about it. Heck, I might even be looking for it. Moving stuff around... wammo. Found it.
Number 2- Knife in hand. Oh, I need to bring this and that too... You probably see where this is going.
Number 3- Knife hiding in plain sight on the edge of the counter, me with bare feet... My big toe doesn't work quite like it used to. Luckily there was some tendon left. This actually affected me. I used to "catch" falling objects with my foot all the time. Still do, but surprisingly, not barefooted. Plus, I hate to see a knife on the edge of the counter. Especially barefoot, which happens to be a lot of the time. I'm pretty good about wearing shoes in the shop now. Maybe this should be expected in a knife shop. Maybe I should invent shoes without soles...
