Seen it happen in Cubs/Webelos...we will get kids that haven’t earned their Whittlin’ Chip (knife safety, use and care) while in Cubs because the women either don’t know or are scared (had one admit this) to teach the boys because “knives are sharp”.
Back when I was a Cub Scout Leader (see my tagline to know what uniform I wear now) I taught Whittling Chip as one of our last meeting for the year. The next fall I asked my den how many of them used their pocketknife over the summer. They all raised their hands. Then I asked how many cut themselves. Same response. Everybody laughed.
They are. Actually, the sharper they are, the safer they are, but that would be lost on people who don't know/don't care.
And, I'd add that all it takes is one good slice on your finger to break the habit of not being careful.
