....try not to stab yourself in your fat, stupid belly.

Just came off a pasted strop. Nice and sharp.
Only went in about 1/4 inch. I slapped a bandaid on it and kept working, but please be careful.
Full disclosure, it was my fault entirely.
I have no vice, actually not even a bench yet. I was cutting mortises on my porch railing. Board had a bit of a crown. I was paring the corners straight, and the board wobbled and fell toward me, sending the chisel into my belly. I broke pretty much every rule I can think of RE safety.
When I went back to work, I guarantee you I clamped the piece down.
Don't do what I did. Be smart ,and safe, folks.
