use a potato peeler for chocolate, it comes off in nice curls.

I hate it when that happens.
I also used to work at a takeaway shop, I was peeling carrots one day and knicked my thumb, not pleasant.

And don't feel too bad, it happens to long time grater users too, just like getting a burn..........if you aren't vigilante, no matter how much experience in the kitchen you have, it'll get ya! LOL

Better than cutting your finger with a knife, which I manage to do quite often. Last time, it was very deep and difficult to stop the bleeding. (and my blood usually clots very well and quickly....good platelets) LOL. But yeah...not very comfortable, to say the least.

I have one of these things and I couldn't live without it. I use garlic an awful lot and this is so handy and quick. I use it all the time....every day almost. http://us.microplane.com/zestergrater.aspx

But it wouldn't make those nice curly things with chocolate.
