A downside to the "Fisk" method...

Well, you now truly own the knife. If you hain't cut yourself with it, you don't "own" it - so I've been told.

Happy new year to all!
 
Eeek! I hope it heals up quick! Should be throbbing pretty bad tomorrow been there done that. Glad it wasn't the little guy. Pics!!
 
Same as everyone else, sorry you got cut but glad it was not the kid. :D You don't always cut yourself, but when you do, it's with a Becker---Heal fast my friend !!! :D
 
he sees what daddy's always doing so of course it draws interest, children tend to shadow their parents interest... impressionable minds, its probably a good idea to keep your knives out of reach..

your son is at an extremely dangerous age, and has proven can not be left for a millisecond without supervision..

mine are bigger now but still impressionable, they can handle or shoot any dangerous object in the house but they have to ask, do they always? of course not, I find my sons knives in places they don't belong, he takes them on nature hunts without asking.... I've taken them away for a bit, tends to help but hes still a boy, so I understand as I once was his age :D

there's no such thing as overprotective parenting...

heal quick and thank God it didn't get a nerve or tendon.......

Hey,
Sorry about your finger. Which Fisk method are you using? The one he taught at the Becker gathering this fall?
 
Yikes, that could have been a whole lot worse! Glad your son didn't get nicked, too. Cutting across the knuckle would have hit tendon and meant PT (yes, I know this first hand).

Yeh it was weird to look at. Deep enough to see things but not to deep to cut the important stuff. It was strange to watch things move around as I moved my fingers. I'm thankful that it was just a harmless wake up call and lesson that will stick with me instead of a long term injury

You were lucky!

Wow, like everyone else, I'm glad it was you and not him... Reminds me of how I learned how not to pull out nails: Pops and I were building a skateboard ramp and the angle of the plywood was too steep so he was pulling nails with the claw of a hammer while I picked 'em up. Hammer slipped, claw went into my head, next thing you know I was being pulled aside by DCF in the ER and asked whether my "daddy ever did things like this before". So yeah, better you than him ;)
 
Gosh Clich, that sucks. I am glad you are ok. We want our Becker brother to be healthy and have all his fingers. I am just glad that you are okay and nothing very serious happened. that sux dude.
 
Whew, I was reading and hopin' that we didn't have a child cut. Thank God for that.

Hate you got cut, glad you're doin' fine.

Kids and blades, kinda funny, there are guns and knives all over my house, and my kids have grown up their entire lives seeing them. A couple of times there were questions, but they always ask to see them, and I always allow it.

Guns aren't just layin' around the house, but they are always present. They ask to see those too. I always oblige'em.

Once again, glad ya'll are good to go.

Things happen so fast when they're little doesn't it. Like everyone else glad he's ok. And sorry to here you're got stiches man. I always used to feel so freakin' bad when stuff happend to them.

I did a stupid thing the other day. My wife and I were working at the barn we run. It was early in the morning, we were rushing around, so we could get to our real jobs.
I was in the stall we keep hay in, she was in the isle and wanted for the utility knife we keep around to open hay and shavings and stuff,
my foot was caught in the pallet under the hay, (like I said we were rushing around) so I tossed her the knife ... I thought the blade was in, it wasn't ALL the way in ...
Of all the times she catches it right ? Tip caught her in the palm. Not too bad, but I felt so stupid (I know better) - SHE WAS SOOOOOOOOO PISSED.

Was my reminder/lesson to be careful

This is great advice I do the same with my kids. If they want to look at a gun or knife all they have to do is ask. Takes all the mystic out of it.
