SWMBO has asked whether anyone else leaves "razor sharp knives" sitting on the sofa where "femoral artery thingies" can be "severed, causing [her] trouble with important bodily functions." I told her that I would ask, so I'm asking.

I was always taught that a knife should be in my hand or in its sheath. If I have to constantly put it down I use a wrist lanyard.
I'm with your good lady, not good practice to put them on the sofa.

I agree with the above!
Oh if they are sheathed tell her to get back in the kitchen

Mine always knows when I use my puukko 'cause there are random swipes of shaved hair on the floor and bright white stripes on my back.
LMAO, not just me then, great back stratchers aren't they
To anyone who's not tried it, just remember......only side to side....never up and down

Three year old granddaughter is a regular visitor here and although not the tidiest place in the world (tools mostly) I do keep sharps out of her way.
Plus, I don't leave knives lying about on the sofa, that's just daft.

Knife left on sofa isn't a great idea. Even in a sheath the weight of someone sitting on it could drive a sharp blade through the sheath.
I have young kids so I always try to put sharp and pointy things away, or at least somewhere inaccessible for someone 4ft high - the trouble is the little buggers drag chairs and things around to stand on...
I try not to leave tools lying around, a knife is just the same.
I did once put a knife somewhere safe in 'that place I'm sure to remember', then couldn't find it for 3 months...

Mine are never in their sheaths but laid out in a book case, I have had knives go a bit nasty after living in a sheath for a long time.
Still, they are never left around.

Anyone who leaves something on a sofa only has themselves to blame if it gets sat on and broken.No kids in the house at all. Anyone who sits on a sheathed knife only has themselves to blame.
