Lots of times but most severely when blindly working up big game. The old saying about dull knives if bunch of crap. Sharp knives seriously cut and clean cuts bleed for a long time.
One of several hobbies is flint knapping and I use mostly obsidian generating edges that taper to a molecular level. A small 1/4 knick with bleed for half an hours because the effected surfaces are so smooth that blood can not clot. The saving grace though is those cuts will heal in about 24 hours.

I wear a no-cut glove under a nitrile glove on my free hand when field dressing a whitetail, it works.

I very much appreciated my chain mail glove when I worked in the packing plant. I use one of the Kevlar-type gloves when cleaning fish. One needs to stay aware that they don't stop the point of the knife.

Trimming brisket after a trip to the local watering hole on my birthday a few years back.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Yes, several times over the years. Superglue sure helps.

Cut the hell out of my thumb quartering a deer last year. Yeah, I cut myself cooking 4-5 times a year but this was a bad cut. Wrapped it in telfa, surgical tape and put on a latex glove and still have a nice scar to show.

I buried a knife tip 3/4" into the meaty part of my palm below my pinky. I don't know how I didn't cut a tendon. I was halving some pears to bake and one slipped on the smooth cutting board. As I tried to save it, I impaled my hand on the knife. 10 minutes before company arrived. I taped it up for the night but then got too busy and never went to get it sewed up. I religiously washed it with betadine and peroxide for a couple weeks until it finally healed. I still can't believe it never got infected.

I'm surprised your wife lets you use sharp knives.

Last year I was field dressing a deer my brother shot on my land (he was having a tough time at altitude due to chemotherapy) using a very sharp Gene Ingram knife. Never really thought much about how different knives cut until I caught the fob/lanyard/whatever that leather strap is called on a bone as I was standing up. The knife stayed put as my hand ran along the blade. Holy fug, I bled more than the deer did. It didn't leave much of a scar but to this day it still has a throbbing pain at times.

I loaned a knife to a buddy for field dressing a deer since his was in his pack. I handed it to him and said to watch out that it was scary sharp. Took all of 3 minutes for him to almost cut his damned thumb off. Said he’d never used a knife that sharp and wasn’t expecting it to “come through the skin so fast”. Made a sweet scar, though.

Yep! Took 1/2 a life for me to figure out that: When I'm putting too much force on a knife with my right hand, To stop and get left hand safety out of the way. Got the scares on left hand to prove it.

while back, i sharpened a meat cutting knife, set it on the counter, later went to put it away, bobbled it and somehow stabbed my leg near the pocket pretty good. nice deep, surgical, clean wound, bleeding like a stuck pig. somehow managed to stop the bleeding and went to emergency for stitches, only took 3, but there is no way I could have got it to close

All I have to do is merely look at sheet metal and I start bleeding.

Ground my thumb off to the bone in my wood planner,nail gunned the joint on my index finger. Fun pulling that out with pliers. Shot a 2” nail thru the palm of my hand, ran a jigsaw blade half way thru the top of my hand, jabbed a Phillips bit in my hand twice. Guess what all that just on my right hand.
