Not while honing but I don't hold the hone either-----
Not when using a hand-held hone.
I haven't seen your answer yet. Yes, your the only one.
I've only cut myself honing once when holding the hone in my palm and my thumb wandered up a bit. Since then, I make a loose fist and balance the hone on thumb and knuckle; no cuts since. I'm sure someone in this forum posted a picture doing that, and it works fine.
Like others... I'll cut myself on a plastic burr or something stupid like that, but rarely with a knife and not yet with a razor...
We will not talk about burns in the kitchen though :p :boohoo:
Used to be when i started but don't remember when i cut myself while i hone. i have cut myself when i was sanding brand new sharpened blade recently. i hate sanding.PITA
Sanding is a real pain that's why I hope that Lansky Rubber Abrasive works. I'll post results and pics if it does.
I don't cut myself much anymore at least not with straight razors. I did at the beginning. My recommendations: go slower, focus (no TV), be deliberate.
Never happened to me in all my years of sharpening edged implements.

Just heard on the news that coffee is good for preventing Alzheimer's. Maybe more coffee.
I cut myself frequently, during cleaning or wiping down the blade. One particular danger area is any distraction during the TPT. Another danger time is if I know exactly where I put down a blade and pick it up without looking.
My wife has decided that she doesn't like the sight of my blood that much after all and no longer thinks when I am honing is an ideal time to get me to answer her questions.
