Hi
I have been on Coumidin (Rat Poison)(Anti coagulator) and will be the rest
of my life after Open heart surgery in '95 8 years ago on the 17th to
replace a Mitral valve. I am not even supposed to shave with a safety razor.
But I still do. Sure I have nicked myself. But I kind of lock the hands so
that the control is in my hands. The knife hand cannot slip that far if it
is propped against the other locked hand. I will have to watch how I do it
next time grafting. If I do cut myself I have to apply pressure to the area
till it is stopped.

I'm with Del. I used to whittle a lot, and I don't entirely understand
how people cut themselves while grafting. The cuts needed for grafting
are simple, straight, flat cuts that can easily be done without
endangering your fingers. What you need is not kevlar, which will make
you clumsy, but someone to show you better ways of holding the blade
and manipulating the moving parts.
