Knives rarely fall straight down.

If you think you're scared, think about me... I have such a big imagination, I still think that ghosts exist and zombies can still come out.

I've had moments like that. Just let it slide.

(Your fears, not the knife. )

hmmm, a fear of dropping knives eh? One way to quell that fear is to hold on tightly to the handle!

I've dropped my carving tools off my bench and had them almost land on my exposed tootsies (wearing sandals). Shine is right though, a knife rarely lands point down unless the blade is significantly heavier than the handle, or if it is dropped a certain way on purpose. You almost gotta aim LOL

My worst fear is loosing everything . . . friends, family, BZPower, books, anything that means something to me . . . and yes, it has happened before

If you're really afraid of dropping knives on your foot, try a Swiss knife. The handle is heavier than the biggest blade it has because of all of the other blades in it. You'll just be hurt because of the weight, unless you really aimed the blade to your foot. If you had a knife fall and the blade is heavier than the handle, jump away from it, then you'll be safe enough.

I think it's impossible for your foot to slice open, unless your foot is really soft, which can't be possible. The knife would just stay through your foot to freak you out.

That's funny, I've had similar visions, though they usually involve tall buildings, and I'm the one dropping instead of a knife. I don't like heights.

The best way to overcome your fear is to face it... wait, I think that would mean dropping the knife. On second thought, run and cower.

Seriously though, if you drop the knife, you're more likely to swiftly move your foot out of the way (unless you have really slow reflexes), as opposed to if someone else drops it. Your brain would send a signal to your foot faster than gravity sends the knife to the floor. At least that's my experience with anything I drop.

I've honestly never thought about that much.... I did drop a fork on my toe once, that was... unpleasant.

S(I am gonna refer you as that sometimes),the easy way to face this is putting the knife on a dirty plate,thus bringing two things into the dishwasher!

Man,I wish I had a dishwasher...

If you think you're scared, think about me... I have such a big imagination, I still think that ghosts exist and zombies can still come out.
