Does this count? My Forsaken Mistress has become our defacto campfire wood tool for the last handful of years. I just touched it up a couple weeks ago, the belly was getting pretty dinged up from all the use. My son learned how to baton firewood when he was pretty little (just graduated high school, man they grow up fast!), and has been doing it for probably 6-8 years now.
We were up in the mountains early last week, and late one evening he was splitting some hardwood we'd brought from the Maple tree in the yard, when I heard a yelp, and when both my wife and I looked over, he had a look on his face... "How bad is it?" were the first words out of my mouth. Seeing all the blood dripping everywhere, I already knew the answer...
He was doing something stupid, I'm not totally sure what, and he nearly filleted the meat/pad off of his right thumb.
An hour trip (each way) to the nearest ER and they got it all stitched up and glued back together... 
And our trip got cut short. Boo.
Warning, gore pictures attached. Don't click the "spoiler" button if you're squeamish!
Doctors/nurses all commented on how clean the cut was...
(but don't get me started on the "What kind of knife was it? type of BS questions...
)
