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! Tom 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 Quote
