I think we all have that one knife that just seems to cut you the most for whatever reason. Which one seems to get you the most?

For me, that award goes to my Cold Steel Voyager XL. That knife is the main reason why I tend to stray away from lockback knives, cause they always like to close right on my thumb knuckle. My right thumb knuckle is practically scar tissue because of this knife. The runner up is my ZT 0560, when it's loose, the blade falls shut under it's own weight and my thumb is, once again, always in the way since it likes to be a guillotine as soon as I depress the lockbar.
 
Lol. I disengage the lock of my 0560 sideways for this very reason. It's never bit me but has tried plenty.

For me, the award goes to an Ontario XM-1. Circumstantial at best but, it has managed to draw blood 6 times in about a year. Second place would be a Spyderco Tenacious. That one has a pretty weak detent.
 
Not sure I have any one knife that cuts me frequently--maybe my Kimura, though it's been a while since I could play with that one.

With frame & liner locks, I tend to unlock them with the edge facing up, so there's no chance of the blade swinging down the way you're describing. Ouch. :eek:
 
I've been bit four times in nearly 36 years of livin. Four different knives too. SAK when I was nine, SOG seal pup 8 years ago, Kershaw Emerson cqc-4k over labor day (two stitches ), and a ZT 0770CF last week. This last one happened due to tremors I sometimes get and I dropped the knife, landed on my other hand.
 
A damascus LCC I had cut me probably three or four times.

My CQC-9 has cut me twice.

I've never cut myself with any other knives.
 
I don't get cut often enough to say one specific knife did it. I would guess that if a specific knife results in the user being continually cutting themselves, it might be time to switch to something else. ;)
 
What ever knife I just bought is the one that normally bites me. I guess that is because I am messing with it and there is always a learning curve of some sort.

The knife that comes close to cutting me often is my Kershaw Echelon. The Speed Safe feature just does not belong on that knife, IMHO. Now that I finally de-assisted the monster, it should get some pocket time. :D

Switch? Never!
 
I seemed to be most accident-prone with my Benchmade 586... while it was still assisted. After removing the spring, no more accidental cuts.

I don't think I have any repeat offenders.
I don't get cut all that often.
 
Many years ago, a Shrade Old Timer Sharpfinger was my nemesis. For some reason that upswept point kept finding me. After about six times, I got rid of the knife. Recently, the pen blade on my peanut has nipped me a couple of times when closing, but just a little cut, not to worry!
 
The only knife I recall biting me is that damn 51 that stays put up until I get a wild hair and decide I wanna try twirling a Bali. Its got me twice now and I still haven't learned my lesson.... nothing bad enough to require stitches, but still enough to require a little super glue :mad:
 
That little ghost choil at the rear of the ZT 561's edge has circumcised my finger three times now as I support the knife there while I rotate it for close inspections. Never feel it, cuts so cleanly it heals in a day.
 
Bradley Kimura V, but that sort of comes with the territory when you play with a butterfly knife.

2nd place would be a Douk Douk, I try to whittle with it from time to time and I guess I am just not cut out for it.
