It's my belief that as long as he doesn't break the skin, all you have to worry about is the pain, BUT if you get cut, it's likely to be jagged and uneven and more likely to get infected than a more simple cut.

Just a guess, though.
If the strands are braided or even if they are like strands of wire it should leave a fairly clean cut in the skin. More than likely it will cause a split in the skin if used too vigorously. The danger of infection is very real however, metal is notorious for its ability to cause infection when it causes a cut. Also be aware that all metal corrodes, even aluminum ( it oxidizes), this can cause much stinging and will greatly increase the chance of infection. If you do use this toy you might want to sterilize it before use.
I do not cite medical expertise as I am not a doctor. However I have been a carpenter most of my life and have seen on many job sites what can happen when a cut is caused by any metal. Careful Nikka.
