Personally, my four basic knife safety(similar to gun safety):1) Treat every knife as a sharp slip-joint2) Don't put your edge on something you are not willing to destroy/cut3) Keep the knife in sheath or closed, until you are ready to cut4) Know what you are cutting on, and what behind it.Few more tips off top of my head:-Don't pry with blade-Don't use your tool in wet, salty environment; if you must, dry and maintain it afterwards.-Due to fit and finish, some tools may not 'locked' even when fully opened, be sure to hear the 'click' to confirm.-LM warranty oversea maybe different from LM warranty US, be sure to keep your receipt and talk to the distributor how they do the warranty.-Remember McStitchy's lesson, even a simple stroke of a saw or blade could do huge damage to finger.

You've got some very good advice already Yeah, never work the tool into your direction.Always work away from you if possible.And if it should happen, stay calm and get help.Btw, needle nose pliers tips are good for pulling stitches
