So, forumers, I'm back at least for the moment..I know we on here boast about our knives and edges, our steels and convex grinds. Well, some of you know me well enough to know that I have training, if not heavy. I finally slipped up and hurt myself, and this time....it's bad. Convex edges, especially those some of us are able to create (myself included--hence this injury) are vicious. I slipped and got myself while stropping the stupid thing. Should have been more careful, and should have paid more attention. I ended up getting hurt....badly.
In a sense..it's my training that put me in this predicament, and my training which saved my stupid old hide. Training, extensive and hard training, both put me in the mess and saved me. So, PLEASE--PLEASE--PLEASE listen when I say take more care with your tools!!! Please take a first-aid class! Please keep a well-stocked first-aid kit! Please learn to use it! If it hadn't been for my training and gear, things could have been much worse..
Firstaid training, wether at my level or basic, could and will save your a$$, or someone elses. Take a class. Its worth it! Say a prayer for me and maybe send a get well.
And yes, it hurts!!!
