Cut Closing Blade?!?!

This is why I won't carry liner lock or frame lock knives.

Haha yeah my immediate thought was pretty much this.
At some point in my hobby I definitely decided that my "work" (hvac/r) edc would have to have some form of lock where my digits weren't in the blade path. (Compression, button, crossbar, shark). I for sure have strayed from that though.
I think i can use this as an excuse to justify a new knife purchase lol 🤣

There's alot of distractions when using these tools during the work day better safe than sorry I guess. With that said I KNOW if I would have been paying better attention it wouldn't have happened 👍

Yup!!! My work knife, Rat2, got me this morning. I was attempting to close it with one hand and it didn’t quite go as planned.

I’m guessing the blade slipped off the lockbar and basically slingshot into your thumb?

Happened to me on a Spyderco Resilience. Foolishly tried to close it one-handed with my left hand. Got my middle finger good.

I disengaged the lock with my thumb while simultaneously closing the blade with my finger. My thumb remained in the path of the blade a tad too long.
 
If you hold liner locks with the lock facing up when you unlock, you have far fewer issues with blades hitting fingers. Yes, that means you have to do a controlled close with your index finger instead of letting gravity close the blade.
 
This thread makes me ask why hasn't Johnson & Johnson (or somebody) developed a bandage that effectively covers a cut on a finger tip? It is 2025, right? I'm 71 years old and they haven't changed much in my lifetime. Neither has the stupid packaging.
 
I've used those. They aren't much better, and are in some ways worse. The best way I found to use them is by...cutting them.😈

I just take a regular Bandaid and cut each side up the middle to the edge of the pad. Works fine.
