Ah, thought as much.  Flakes are thin enough to not do too much damage to cells.  That point tip is not, it ruptures the cell walls and bruses it in the process.  The same as with any other cut.

Thanks for the vid! (I haven't watched the whole thing yet though.. a few mins to go)
I made another(smaller) point and a blade-like object. Pics up soon.. once I find the camera!
Thanks for the biology(?) advice... have tried cutting leaf samples with glass scapels(super thin flakes mounted onto a wooden haft) and it makes it easy to see stuff.
BTW humans don't have cell walls, we have cell membranes ;)
