....kind of slows things down, while I look for the magnet....
One way around this is to have magnets all around the shop.
My dexterity must be pretty good. It isn't often a blade catches me. Most of my cuts are from an erroneous grabbing of a blade or when using a rabbet plane after not having used one for a while.
Though pulling a blade out of the original boxes can be tricky. If it is one of the boxes with two or more rows of cutters then a pair of long nosed pliers helps to get a blade out without blood.
