Good little knife safety tip in the beginning. People fuck themselves up with paring knives all the time, and from what I've seen in cooking, it's the knife that cuts people the most. Gotta be smart about it and you won't cut yourself.
The big knives are easy to manipulate, you're right about that. The only knife I've cut myself with in the kitchen was definitely the paring knife. That little darling demands respect.
I've never cut myself with a paring knife- did poke myself in the palm pretty badly though. Little fuckers are sharp as all get-out, and if you get complacent or distracted it's going to take a bite outta ya.
Had a chef knife fall off the end of the counter and go through the top of my foot, skewered it to the floor. Pulled it out then slipped and fell on my own blood. Good times!
