I have been lucky the last 10-15 years.
But Ihave MANY scars to prove that the use of the knife is a Skill that you must learn the hard way.
I keep my knives SHARP and carry a Diamond Stick.
I take my time and use a piece of wood instead of my off hand(as much as possible)when field dressing.
Alot of cuts come from "dulling" knives most of the rest fromlack of attention.
Accidents do happen. But many can be avoided with patience.
