Kind of like Steve Martin and Bill Murray in Little Shop of Horrors. Martin plays a sadistic dentist and Murray is the masochistic patient. Funniest scene in the movie!

I had a nice edgy joke for this, but then I noticed this is a "family friendly" thread and all my other jokes are a bit dull. Guess you'll just have to settle for a couple terrible puns. 
Thanks for hosting this give-a-way!

Thanks! I just picked it up a couple weeks ago. It will be the knife I carry when I marry the love of my life (going on 12 years!) next week (it matches my shoes!).

So the first good cut with a knife I received as a young child happened at my Grandfather farm. We were visiting and in the evening, I saw my grandpa take out his pocket knife ( an old barlow) and start cleaning and trimming his finger nails. He was cleaning the tractor grease from in under the nails, and trimming them like he was carefully whittling wood. I was fascinated.
Later, I saw the knife was in the change/key bowl and I thought I really ought to clean and trim my nails like grandpa. I took the knife and tried trimming. I had not learned the knack at that point in my tender youth, so instead of trimming the nail, I cut through the nail, into the quick of the nail bed, and into the finger. I went and showed my Grandfather what I had done, and instead of getting angry at me, or lecturing me, he quietly got out his shaving kit (with basic first aid items). He trimmed the nail back as far as he could, put some iodine on it, and then bandaged it up. He told me that it would take quite some time for the nail to grow out, and it would catch on things and bother me for a long time. He said, it would be a good reminder until it healed.
He is long since passed away. I have many fond memories of him, and life lessons learned from him.
I inherited two of Grandpa's old butcher and skinning knives that my dad said they used to butcher the cows on the farm. I also inherited an old cut throat razor that Grandpa got from his own grandfather and the strop he used. I was sad we did not find any of his old pocket knives.
Many years later, when my grandma finally passed away ( she was nearly 101 years old) my father found grandpa's old barlow.... I still have it. It is the same worn old barlow I cut my self with more than 35 years ago.
It is the barlow on the grip of the gun with the blades open.
Well worn from sharpening, dropping and pocket wear!!
The funny part of that story comes more than three decades later, when my own younger son cut him self on a knife for the first time, he was worried I would be cross with him or lecture him (just as I worried about telling my tough and gruff grandpa).... i instantly remembered they way my Grandfather treated me, and instead I looked at it, and gave him a high five, and told him he would probably always remember his first time cutting him self. After putting a bandaid on it for him, he marched in and proudly showed it to my wife, and announced "I cut my self like a MAN!" He was 6 or so....
