Here's my story... I was sooooo nervous about using the Santuko - I was extra cautious. No problem there. Everyone loved it. Well, I get the Paring Knife out to slice a lemon and then I notice RED dripping off my finger!! I didn't even FEEL it! I don't have a clue how it happened! It bled, and bled and bled. I was so embarassed!! Thank goodness all the recipes were done and I was just "demo-ing" a lemon so we weren't going to eat it. The Host (my girlfriend) got me two band-aids - soaked them completely. I got new band-aids and then I ended up putting on one of her Rubber Dish gloves (one of the thick up to the elbow ones - BRIGHT PURPLE color too) to finish out the show!! You try totaling orders with a rubber glove on!! I think I am going to throw in some lighter thin gloves in my bag in case that happens again. I really think it could use a stitch because it was fine all day until I took a shower tonight and it started to bleed again. It's in the shape of a "v" so I think I must have knicked it with the tip of the knife somehow. Wow. I am so bad with knives, scissors, etc. My husband about paniced when he saw the new products we have to sell. He joked "how many trips to the ER do you plan to make? Do you get disability?" Just curious to see if anyone else ever had this happen at a show?!?!
