    1. Mind you don't cut yourself Mordecai.
    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

    Yet the question remains: has any org put together anything concise enough to pass on, that meets all the requirements?

    A quick search reveals all sorts of lists—many of which are related to kitchen safety with cutlery—that are longer than a Tolstoy novel.

    How about it sharps heads? What should a “4 rules” look like?
    That Scouting award is a Totin' Chip. Scouts have to have this card to use or be in possession of cutting tools while on Scouting functions.
