"The researchers estimated 50,413 avocado-related knife injuries occurred between 1998 and 2017, with over half happening in the last decade." https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/jan/30/avocado-hand-super-bowl-sunday
@janallmac I got a gizmo for it years ago. I resist tools that do just one thing, but this one absolutely is worth it -- and it works! (Plus it goes through the dishwasher.) https://amzn.to/2GENrpt
@estherschindler Sharpen your knives people. When the knife cuts more easily, less force is needed. Less force need to cut allows more force for control.
