Do you guys get cuts?

This happened awhile back when my Busse NMFBM slipped out of my hand and bouced off a tree into my leg. :eek:

I was wearing gloves but wasn't using a lanyard that time.... :o

I get small cuts all the time. Maybe 10% of them are from knives, the rest from the environment. The world has a lot of rough spots and sharp corners, the discovery of which can lead to minor or major blood loss. At least with my knives, I know where the sharp part is. ;)

I was going to post up something really similar. I find myself leaking blood all the time, and sometimes I have no idea what caused the breech.

Further, I do not consider myself less "sharp" than my knives, careless, or otherwise "stupid" because I cut myself once in a while. I would rather view it as living beyond the limitations of my skin's durability.
 
I have been cut by just about every knife I have, nothing much major and never when using...mostly when messing around with them just opening and closing or touching up the edge with a hand hone.
 
I get smalls cuts all the time. I have two healing on my left hand and left thumb right now. Comes with the territory I guess . . .

Me, too! Not a week goes by where I don't have some kind of cut on my hand, and MOST of them are NOT caused by knives.

That said, I just cut the tip of my thumb vertically this morning opening a cereal box stupidly. I just barely touched my thumb, and there's a nice clean cut now. Not much blood or anything, but I superglued it so I don't have to worry about that weird feeling of the skin splitting when I put pressure on my thumb.
 
I try to cut "away" from my body to avoid accidents, but I still stabbed myself a few months ago with a Military while opening a case of soft drinks. Got stitches from that one. I have sliced myself a few times while polishing a blade with Mother's Mag polish, but seemed to have wised up and don't do that so much anymore.
 
The worse things I've cut myself on, so far, was a dry erase/white board. That thin piece of metal that makes up the surface itself separated a little from the cardboard backing. I stepped over it with my left foot, then my right foot picked it up and shoved it into/slightly over the top of my left foot.

13 stitches on the top of my foot, really nice V-shaped laceration. Deep, too.
 
Spyderfly Bite!

I was hacking brush in the backyard with my BWMLE chopping on a tree when a 1" thick vine got in the way. I swung alittle to hard. Well it went through the vine so fast veered left and right into my shin. Well it was about ten stitchs worth. Went in the house taped it up. I'm still healing but its along way from my heart anyway. I'll live and learn.
 
It's ironic... the last time I got a cut while using a knife was when I was cutting cardboard and I got a paper cut from the edge of the cardboard.
 
I rarely cut myself. The last one was with my new JYD SG2 I dont even

remember doing it. Hardly bled at all.
 
I worked all my life with sharp tools , most injuries I get from using over tools , but I do get knife cuts some times ,mostly small and don't even paying attention to it anymore.
 
I feel left out, I've maybe cut myself ten times while using a knife in my life, and it's always something like cutting an apple towards me, or something stupid.

Mainly because I wasn't paying attention.
But... some of these wicked bad ones posted confuse me how they happen.
 
My worst happened about two months ago while wrapping my new izula handle, I was holding the sheath in my palm with index and middle finger in the guard area, pulled too hard and sliced both fingers pretty deep, managed to come back and stab my self below the thumb. One bleeder is bad enough, but three was a challenge.

I actually purchased one of these gloves while learning to sharpen, never pulled it from the package. I think about it being five feet away every time I get bit.
