safety snafu - don't try this at home
I was shaping some dough when I thought I'd kicked the corner of my baking table and felt a sharp pain. Turns out, my scoring lame was on the floor, and it had just sliced into the outer part of my foot about a third of an inch deep and an inch long. As Anthony Bourdain would put it, most of the pain came from the knowledge that I'm an idiot (for not storing it securely).
Anybody have any tips for safely yet conveniently storing a double edged razor that's mounted on a metal handle? My problem is that I'm kind of lazy and impatient, so I don't want to have to put the thing in some vault encased in cement to prevent a similar thing from happening again. How do you guys store your sharp cutting tools?
