[at-l] another out of the shadows

Your points (no pun intended) are quite good. I have a scar on my left hand 
in the web from just that sort of cut, and have been careful to teach my 
kids how to use a pocket knife safely. Leatherman and similar tools are 
easier to get such a cut with all of the distractions of pivot points, at 
least until you learn how to handle it safely. It is certainly not as 
intuitive as a regular folding pocketknife. Any tool can be misused and 
cause injury.
