Always cut away from yourself (and others).

Sometimes it's impractical. After several dangerously deep cuts at work, one of the older guys taught me a fantastic trick, whichever way you have to cut:

Tuck your elbow tight to your sides when you're cutting something that you're holding.

It limits your range of motion, preventing serious injuries when your knife slips.
