Yep it happened again I was washing my cutting board yesterday when it splipped down into the bottom of the sink. Unfortunatley my Spydie Santuko was lying on the edge of the board and came sliding down it into my right index finger. Luckily I had just sharpened it a couple of days ago and not used it yet. It cut into my right forefinger like a hot knife in animal fat. I now have a wonderful flap running from about an inch from my knuckle on my hand to about a quarter of an inch from my second knucle. hehe the fat pad just sat there looking at me for about 3 seconds before my hand was covereed in blood. A couple steri-strips and a bandage later it feels like I filleted my hand but when my angry wife walked in with the steri-strips from Walgreens all I could say with a big smile on my face was, "man I got this puppy sharp huh.";)
 
turned out to be sharper than I expected. I had been chopping some maple branches that had fallen down when we had some 70-80mph winds. I steel the edge with the chakma every so often while chopping. So I finished chopping when I see this dandelion standing there. I made a lazy swing at it and cut it clean in half:eek: :D

After I sharpened a Western Fixed blade with my Edge Pro for the first time, it sliced it's sheath nearly in half when I resheathed it! I was happy and mad at the same time, but the end result was that I ended up getting a much better sheath.
 
I slipped and stabbed the bottom of my left index finger last night. Got it just above the base of the finger. When I went to clean it up I noticed a little flap. I thought it was skin but it turned out to be a mass of spongey cells. I can only assume they where fat cells. Pushed them back in, cleaned it up a super glued it shut. Now it just looks like a little half inch cut, you would never believe how much blood came out of it.
 
Jacking around with the Dyad, Jr. spyderco the other night making a kydex rig for it. I don't even remember opening the knife, and somehow it still cut me.
 
About two years ago it was common for two of my friends to come to my house on Saturday afternoon for dinner, conversation and use of the Edge Pro. We all had Microtech USSOCOM Tantos at that time. Our goal was to outdo the other.

While joking around, I see blood drops on my kitchen's white marble floor; it was hard to miss. I asked, "Who's cut." And we all denied it was one of us. We had to reconstruct who held what and follow the blood trail. And this is for a bunch of old guys who really try to be careful.

That same knife sliced open the palm of a deacon at my church.
 
I have an old Schrade-Walden stockman that gets deceptively sharp. It will bite you.

A friend of mine who is a knife dealer asked to see it a while back. I handed it to him. He opened it and started to run his thumb down the edge. I said, "Be careful, it's...!"

Too late. He had already laid his finger open.

A few curse words and some supe glue later, he said, "You weren't kidding when you said it was sharp, were you?"

There is just something about old, well aged, beautifully patina-covered 1095 that takes a wicked edge.:)
 
Coonskinner, Yep, I've got an old Schrade Mustang
125Ot that is also 1095 steel and will take an edge
better than any other knife I've owned. I can't
remember when I sharpned it last but it will still
bite the careless. Just like the first time I
laid my hand open after I bought it. :eek: Took
4 Stiches to close the wound:rolleyes:
