“For some reason, swords or knives in the hands of a suspicious person has always bothered me.”
You’ve cut yourself before and you know what a small cut feels like so you naturally don’t want to find out what a big cut feels like.
You just might be right. When I was only 3, I cut my arm pretty badly with a hatchet. It left a nice scar. I have scars all over my hands and fingers from knife cuts some of them pretty bad.
