What do you call those?
In my language we call them finger snails:)

We don't have a word for them, because we never have any reason to talk about them! I'm very curious -- could you give me an example of when or how you would use the expression in your language?

Since there's no such a term in English then there's no need for further discussions.

It's certainly not impossible for us to get a scratch on our knuckles.

I don't know what you think I implied was impossible. Personally, I always think it's worth further discussion when I discover that other languages have words that have no equivalent in English. But of course, you don't have to discuss it
