Here's the opposite view though....from my standpoint.

First, you get used to what you have and are used to working with.

In my case, often somewhat dull knives. The only time I've ever
cut myself was right after sharpening the knives and they worked
"too good." I've learned to be extra careful after a sharpening.

D is expert at sharpening knives and I always know when he has been working
on them Like you, I always cut myself!
