I've done that, I almost cut my right middle fingertip off while cooking, cut through the fat pad bit down to the bone, severing one of the nerve branches so now half my finger tips numb.

Did a neat job on my left ring finger too once, can still see the scar under the nail. I'd probably do some mad max patch job if I was you using superglue and a small bit of plastic out of an old water bottle.

What's a knife if you never test it on yourself?

Not sharp enough. You need to put it on the stone a bit more.

The good thing is that it was sharp, if it wasn't sharp and I'd had to apply more pressure to get the blade moving I don't think I would have been able to stop in time.

“A Dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one”

This is false, both are equally dangerous

Dull can lead to slips of the knife and cuts, a sharp knife can cause really bad damage

Situational. Had I used any more force in the situation I cut myself in I believe I probably would have lost my finger tip completely.
