Why not?
Quick back to garden and guitar!!! 
I couldnt agree more !
We bought a new set of knives , I didnt want them to get damaged by the dishwater so I washed them by hands …
they are so sharp that it sliced the tip of my thumb like butter !
I had to play with a band aid for 2 days and it was very annoying 
stay away from sharp pointy knives !

I never knew you played with Band aid Deborah, you kept that quiet hehe cheers Hec
After lots of trial and error i only let the nails grow about 1 or 2 mm beyond my fingertip.
I catch the string first with flesh part and the string is caught by the nail on follow through.
This has the advantage in the rare event that I loose a nail the flesh is still calloused.
Nails are also much less likely to brake. In the past my nail usually broke by being ripped of when I try to hold something which slips through my fingers. That doesnt happen anymore.
I also trim them almost daily to keep them at this length. I also make sure the edges are very smooth so that it doesnt catch on anything. I also keep the weeds at bay though usually with soft leather gloves.
There is a very informative discusion about nails on this website (This is also where I got the photo as he has his nails the same length as mine.
