When your sharp blade gets its corner point knocked off by a scratch in the light table, you can "sharpen" it by laying the blade across your index finger, so that the corner rests on the glass. Place your thumb so that it completely covers the corner, push down with your thumb while lifting the back edge with your finger until about ¼" to ½" of that end of the blade snaps off. DON'T LOOK while you're doing this. Maybe protect your eyes by taking a drink of coffee from your oversize mug. Voila! new point.

Back when this thread was all heated up, I changed the name of it to something different (about my Olfa cutter) so it would die a quiet death. This led to a few days' discussion about designers' on-the-job injuries. I also squared off a few fingertips in my time.
