My Zubat has shed quite a bit of blood in its day. Im considerably more careful with it now.

No one ever takes the warnings I give them about this saw seriously. After the second or third time of applying duct tape to their incised flesh they start to pay more attention. I don't know if it's the handle design (how you hold it) or the increased cutting speed that causes problems. I've yet to really cut myself with a fanno. Anyone else have another theory?
 
I think its the speed at which the Zubat cuts. I cant count the times when I cut through a little sucker and the downward force that I applied on the saw popped me in the knee, leaving little bloody alternating puncture wounds. One time when I first got a Zubat I went to pull it out of the scabbard with my right hand and use my left hand to hold the scabbard, but my index finger was above the scabbard opening, and when I pulled it out it cut all the way to the bone. Not good. those are the cuts that are tender and sensitive for quite some time. After that I dont think I have cut my self with that saw.
