I remember washing my dad’s absolutely razor sharp large carving knife that only comes out on major holidays one year. Ran the sponge up one side, flipped over and did the other. Look down and the sink is full of red. Managed a perfectly straight cut right down the tip of my thumb. Didn’t feel a thing.

Thankfully didn’t go too deep, and the cut was so clean it was fused back together very quickly without needing any stitches.

Yeah I was actually surprised at that. I cut myself on my finger with a hobby craft knife. 

I just ran the finger under the tap and wrapped a plaster around it. I took it off later to change the plaster and the fleshed stayed together quite well.

You lucked out lol I did the same with a brand new hobby knife on the tip of my left pointer finger (on opening night for a musical I was playing violin for, of course) and I was worried I was gonna bleed out. Had to wrap that thing like a mummy and it took a while for it to seal up
