What is causing this?

The past several months I have develop a hobby in propmaking. Of course, when it comes to building and making things, you are subject to minor cuts and abrasions especially when you are working with extremely sharp tools like an X-Acto knife. I have cut myself and bled many times by accident along with an accidental stabbing in my leg (don't ask). Anyway, I noticed that after a few minutes the pain goes away and the wound is completely healed. Now, when I first noticed I facetiously thought: Holy shit, I'm Wolverine. In all seriousness though, I've been trying to figure out what in my body is the catalyst to this fast-healing like possibly testosterone. A friend told me that it's most likely because of high cholesterol. I have the medical knowledge of an ant so, my question is what is causing this "cool" bodily function?

The truth of the matter is that this is not a good forum for RELIABLE medical information. While LDL is associated with healing, cholesterol lowering drugs have also been associated with wound healing.

If you are concerned that you have high cholesterol, the best thing is to ask your healthcare provider for a test.

As for the healing, clean, sharp cuts on areas that are not under tension (example: knuckles are under tension, thighs are not) heal quickly in the sense that they seal themselves and stop bleeding quickly.

Your lucky, maybe it's that the cuts are not that deep, also maybe your blood clots quick and just seems like it's healing, or your immortal like the highlander and don't know it yet, lol

the only cut that was deep was when my x-acto knife stabbed me in the leg. I gushed blood but I put a band-aid over it and like 20-45 minutes later it scabbed up. I don't know lol

You have good clotting in your blood, which is a good thing. You could always Google for more info on it
