FYI, fingertip is the 'eye' of the nervous system that can feel heat, cold, and pressure.

"Sliced paper is not as clean as it looks. The edge of the paper looks fine, but actually jagged. Paper is more like a chainsaw slicing skin smaller than the knife. The paper also leave chemical particles that can irritate the incision. The injury was not so much bleed or clot due to shallow. Damaged nerve tissue and remain open. Every time we use the hand, the wound will openly and interfere with nerve, "said Ferris Jabr of Scientific American.
