How can I overcome my fear of knives?

Question

I have this terrible fear of knives that seems to have appeared from absolutely nowhere. The fear started about 2 or 3 years ago, and I do not know why. Nothing happened involving knives to anyone I know or me. I'm not actually so much afraid of knives hurting me as I am the knives hurting other people. When I'm putting knives away in the drawer, I have this impulse that forces me to tell everyone in the house to stay away from the kitchen and I have to hold the knives out way in front of me while staring at them closely to make sure they do not somehow run away and stab someone.

Face it...starring at it for hours or something..Cutting something To be fearless you have to be the hunter not a victim. Chop something then you will see it ain't much scary if you are the one holding it!.
