Ever cut yourself real bad?

I just read an ad where the advertiser cut himself up. On the back cover of the new Blade magazine, there’s a C.A.S.Iberia ad. It says: “When you are in the thick of it, bargain brand knock-offs won’t hack it …” If you didn’t see the vertical grooves on the handle of their “Tactical Tornado”, you could swear the knife was a SOG SEAL 2000. It even has the distinctive short, molded-in guard.

Of course, Muela might not think of itself as a “bargain-brand” knock-off, but knock-off it is. Knives have been around a lot longer than civilization. Arguably, knives helped bring civilization about; they certainly created the conditions under which it could flourish. So to see the traditional patterns repeated in many makers’ work is no surprise or reason for complaint. But at some point, the details of an especially popular work do not constitute a classic knife pattern alone, but a proprietary creation.

None of us care about some stamped-out Chinese POS, but shouldn’t Muela show a little more class?
 
gee from the heading on this post I was all set for a nice bloody read where the poster cut himself real bad and had to go to the hospital where he got 97 stiches and they couldn't re attach his head and then gangrene set in and by the time he was saved he had a face like VG.Then Phil ran in and started taking all his cool pictures of the gangrene VG head and entered them in The American Photographer Contest and won a SAK. What does Muella have to do with looking like VG with Gangrene?

OK, time to shed the proverbial "blood" on this topic. We all have been cut by our knifes,, at least once, and those of us who swing steel balisong style have popped the virgin knuckles too, I am sure, but my best was at Burger King.

As an employee over 15 yrs ago, slicing a chicken sandwich, ( lunch rush and showing off) lost a tip of a finger and cut halfway into the bone of the next finger, 7 stitches)

Who knows what happened to the sandwich.....

About 15 years ago--right after 'fire' was invented--I was sharpening a Rigid knife (sort of a giant Buck 110) on a set of crock sticks. The knife slid out of my hands and I foolishly tried to grab it, feeling only the belly of the blade run across the four fingers of my left hand. I immediately cupped my right hand under the left to keep a shot-glass size dram of blood from hitting the carpeting...--OKG

When I was about 7 or 8, I found a small folder in a box in the attic. It was the first pocket knife I'd ever held. While trying it out cutting open boxes, I sliced a finger almost from tip to knuckle. It hurt ALMOST as mucg as the Iodine that was applied later to 'help'.
I decided that day to NEVER touch another knife.
Well I have to go sharpen my Stryker now, see ya.
