" I usually round over the point at the top. I never cut with it and that is what has bit me when I have reached across. " See this thread http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/38698-tips-on-how-to-use-a-draw-gauge/?do=findComment&comment=240356

I've never clipped myself, but figure Bruce's comment is quite wise.  Voice of experience.  I like to reduce risk where I can.  I'm a little adverse to slashing my wrist.  And you really don't use that top 1/4" as it's not accessible to cut with, other than your wrist!

Yup words of wisdom not to be taken lightly from either him nor you thanks again I may reconsider it! Although running the blade upside down with the handle up seems to be just as safe as clipping the tip, who knows! Thanks for the responses
