Cutting it with is an action applying to one touchable thing and one carried thing.
Understand "cut [something] with [something preferably held]" as cutting it with.
Check cutting it with:
if the second noun is the player:
say "You're not sharp enough." instead;
if the noun is the second noun:
say "That can't cut itself!" instead;
say "[The second noun] is not suitable for cutting." instead.
Instead of cutting yourself:
say "The situation is not that dire yet."
