I use Global knives, and have exactly the same thoughts re: sharpnes being equivalent to safety.
To date, the only bad knife cut I ever got was using a knife that was slightly less sharp (a Sabatier knife that had been insufficiently honed) and skated off the outer skin of an onion, through the side of my left thumb - it was the nail that stopped it going bone deep.
Sadly it was while I was making lunch before my first important "A" Level exam (aged 18 - the UK equivalent of graduation, i guess).
