Got one of those painful, bloodless slices:
From, believe it or not, the razor-sharp edge of a fillet of cured green Loctite:
Of course, it didn’t stay bloodless for long: every time I put pressure on the ball of my thumb, the split gets longer.
I hate it when there’s blood all over the workpiece…

On the other hand, a knife got to be real sharp to cut paper.
Superglue is the perfect thing for that…. they make special purpose medical super glue you can buy at the drug store, but I just use what I have at hand. For papercuts, Neosporin+pain relief does wonders.

A long time ago I worked a couple of semesters at a research/teaching hospital, wherein I watched them super-glue dog innards together, when they were finding out how well cyanoacrylates performed. No stitches needed, just a little drop did the trick, even for veins & arteries deep down inside.
Kind of used up the dogs in the process, but that was, after all, back in the old days…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate “Harry Coover, said in 1966 that a CA spray was used in the Vietnam War to retard bleeding in wounded soldiers until they could be brought to a hospital” It is still used today for this same purpose. It’s probably saved countless lives of those injured from “bleeding out”.
