Seriously we should start a club. Wrapping handles and !shing! hey im leaking! I have no idea how i did it but luckily i had just sharpend it so its nice and deep. Trail of blood all the way to the bathroom.:D:(
 
Fool.....

Did I ever tell the story about the guy at the booth at BLADE who cut the crap out of himself with an Izula and continued to fondle all the knives on the display case and bleed ALL THE HELL OVER THE PLACE.

Mike Perrin had to take a few knives to the bathroom and scrub the handles to get the blood off.
 
Now you're an official knife tester.

Some guys use paper; REAL MEN use themselves. :thumbup:

Very first ECCKS I went to in the 80s was in Jersey at the Meadowlands IIRC, I had just bought a One Hand Knife off AG Russell afterwards he was showin' some one how to sharpen a knife when he slipped and sliced his thumb, he was whisked off to the hospital to get stitches, it happens to the best of 'em, (sorry AG :))
 
Somehow I'm not surprised! :rolleyes:

These posts seem to be getting closer and closer together... :D
 
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I haven't been bitten by my Izula yet... OR, maybe I just need to play with it more, and see what happens. lol
 
given your username thumbz, i got a pretty good chuckle. now i'm DEFINITELY going to get the scales for my izula after i purchase the HEST.
 
Happens to the best of us. I don't have an Izula.

I did sever the nerve in my thumb with a knife I made my self. Oops. Doc's first Q at the ER was if I needed my hands to make a living.

I was not wrapping a handle at least.

I had just finished cutting apples for a large group of 2 year olds, and was setting the knife down on the "high counter" where they could not reach it. Sprayed blood all over the table where they were eating their snacks while grabbing some paper towels.

I was trying to sell a guy on a CRKT Sting... he put his index finger on the shoulder of the bolster area and pulled the knife out of the sheath. Cut his finger pretty deep. He bled all over the floor and counter. Oh, the kicker? He asked me to call him an ambulance. He was complaining how it was his "Trigger finger." From how he was dressed, I thought he was military. He was a gamer, and he wanted to play a game that night, and he was just a military wannabe. An ambulance for your finger!? Sure, four stitches, but still!

On the topic of bites... I tend to feel that the new knife isn't mine until it cuts me and tastes my blood. I know, weird. I don't do it on purpose, it just happens once usually, and not again.

First thought - what a light weight? 4 friggin stitches? I start to care when they admit me to the hospital for a few days (which has happened twice). Second thought, I agree that a knife I own isn't "tame" until my blood is on the blade. Sadly, this dates back to my days as a boy scout.
 
My worst bite was from a Protech Godfather. I was using it to cut the plastic tab of a camera case. The case slipped and the knife went into my wrist about 2 inches. I dropped the knife which was still in my wrist which caused to slash the wrist even more and it fell out. The best part was when my wife came in to see why I yelled. When I told her I cut myself she said she would get me a bandaid. I moved my hand to show her the cut and blood shot out a good 2 feet or so. 12 stitches and a later and still haven't recovered all the feeling in that hand. Good times. :D
 
I thought about buying an Izula, but now I'm not so sure about my plans anymore. I haven't cut myself for a long time and the Izula seems to bite a lot of people...I think I'll just tape the whole knife and nust unwrap it when I need it. :D
