Got bit finally by my Protech. * slightly graphic*

Cleaning off with a 99% bacterial wipe, when with out thinking, drew across the sharp side. Not too bad, just a kiss

It's a keeper now.

That's a straight up anime glint off the edge in the last photo. Glad the cut was minor, a careless slice can easily put your finger out of commission for weeks.

I was wiping off the blade of my brand new American Lawman and felt a pinch. I looked down and saw that the knife was mine now.

Cleaning off with a 99% bacterial wipe....

I am on the same boat (pretty much)! Does the pants leg count as 99% bacterial wipe?????

Glad you didn't chop off your finger or anything. Slice a tendon and you will be screwed for a looooong time.

What would a knife be if it couldn't cut you. It showing that it cares for you and having the wipe on hand already. 2 birds with one stone or blade.

Getting cut is usually a sign that a knife is a keeper for me. If I don't cut myself with it, I'm just not that into it in most cases.

 

[CookieRawwr]

Oh I had one that bit me literally seconds after opening it it from the USPS box. I knew it would be a keeper.

I tend to cut myself the most when I’m cleaning off my blades. Usually it’s my larger fixed blades, but once in a while a folder slips through the papertowel and I end up with a bloody finger.

Actually it's not. Actual non doctored photo of the polished edge. Caught it on burst mode of light coming just right through my blinds. I never felt this cut.

Most of the time, when one of my knives accidentally cuts me, I feel a greater bond with it. However, there is one exception. I still haven't bonded with my Cold Steel Code 4, which, 3.5 years ago, gave my index finger a cut on the end knuckle that cut the tendon and put me out of work for 4 months. I do plan to eventually use it as a beater around the yard, but for some reason, I find it hard to touch this one. All I need to remember is to never again be stupid enough to try to one-hand close that model.

Yeah, If I ever one hand close, it's always all fingers out of the sharp area..always on spine pushing down. It's actually pretty easy to do on this Protech model since its spring assist. There is resistance right before the blade closes down.

Thank goodness the knife is ok!

When I was buying my 0801, I asked the dealer to bring out two samples for me to choose from. One of them bit me while I was checking them over. I told the guy, “I’ll take the one with blood on it....and also a bandaid if you have one around.”

He’s a good dealer. Didn’t even charge me for the bandaid.
