Just wondering. What kind of knife was it? Did you have a shoe on? Did it bleed? Did it hurt?

Anyone ever done it twice?

Not in foot (but just 'cuz I'm lucky up to now). Natural instinct is to 'catch' with the foot (natural in our modern landscapes, meaning keeping the dish from shattering on the floor, the nacho chip from exploding salsa all over the damn place...)

BUT - I have dropped one into my thigh. A little SAK (Executive?). Still on my keys, I was giving it a quick sharpen, it slipped out of my hands and drove into my thigh. It stuck in! Rippen jeans, bled, pissed me off. Went in a good half inch. Next day, reopened and stained some dress pants.

Finally healed, never really hurt, but annoyed me to no end.
 
Why would you have to remind me of this. I remember like it was yesterday playing mumbly-peg with 2 foot machettes and we were barefoot. Oh man when my buddy threw it and it severed all my toes on my left foot did I ever yell. Not to worry though my father was a tailor so he was able to sew my toes back on. Although my big toe is in the middle of my foot now hhhmmm. But to this day I still dread it when I hear those horrible words "mumbly-peg" and now Elvis you had to dredge this up again just when I thought it was all behind me. Hello nightmares tonight.

Sorry Bob, but it sounds like you have issues that need to be addressed. I'm here for you man.

Hunting?
Don't be a wise guy!
What d'ya hunt with a knife?
Name it!
 
Yup...no shoes. K bar fell from waist height and stuck in my foot before it fell out. Not much blood, parents still dont know about it!
 
It never has happened to me but my wife had a close call.When we were dating I bought her a Gerber Guardian as a gift.(her folks were neither impressed nor amused,but she liked it)We were at a party and she was showing off her new toy.As she went to hand it to one of the guests,she fumbled the pass and the little dagger stuck in the floor 1/2 inch from her foot.Needless to say she was lucky that day and the sharpness of the Gerber was well demonstrated.

Actually, I just dropped a knife on my foot at work today (don't think I'm lucky to get to use knives at work, we can't use our own, and the ones they provide should be in the dictionary next to "POS"). Didn't do anything, though, because A.: we wear steel-tipped boots, and B: these knives have square ends, not points, so it really would have had trouble penetrating anything harder than Jell-o

I was about thirteen years old and for lack of brains and anything better to do was throwing a Fairbairn-Sykes commando dagger at the ground seeing how close I could get it to my foot. It stuck through my boot into a bone in my right foot. Hurt like hell. I couldn't recommend the experience to anyone.
 
Saw my boss drop his X-Acto knife (new #11 blade). It stuck into the top of his expensive tassled loafer and stood there. The amazing thing was that the blade went between his toes! Never touched him! We measured the hole, then the blade & determined that it penetrated about 1/4"
The hardest thing I had to learn, working with knives (mat knives/box cutters & X-Actos), was not to catch 'em when you drop 'em!

Years ago carrying a Gerber Mark I on my belt. Tried to replace it in its sheath while I was doing something else. I thought it was in the sheath, and let go of it. It wasn't in the sheath. I still have the scar on the back of my leg.

I dropped an older model Schrade Skinner tip first on my foot. Pricked me, and caused a little skin tear, nothing more. Piece of junk

All the knives in the world go round and round, round and round, round and round...DAMN, one of them took my wallet !!! :)
 
So if you drop the knife point first onto your shod foot, and it doesn't do any damage to your foot, it's a piece of junk!

A knife is the only consumer product I can think of where, if a customer buys it and injures himself with it, he may well praise the manufacturer for how efficiently it worked. And you do lose all honor if you sue.

Yup, once and many many near misses with my Balisong. I usually flip it while I'm typing and ocassionally it just flys out. It's really more of a throw than a drop but it's accidental none the less.

------------------
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.
 
A friend of mine was playing with my A/F Covert Friday night and forgot he had the knife open in his lap - when he stood up the knife responded to the pull of gravity. He didn't get stabbed, but the side of his big toe got a nasty cut when the blade hit it.
 
Dropping a knife onto your weiner - the wurst cut of all? I think it's better table manners to use a knife and fork in tandem and in a controlled manner, rather than dropping or throwing, or maybe eat your frankfurter or bratwurst in a bun.

As for the topic at hand (or at foot), whose who think the thread is lame will presumably skim through it rapidly, if at all, and bother posting in it. And those who have in fact dropped a good knife on one or more of their feet may very well be lame!
