How often do you cut yourself?

I don't cut meself on my knives to much at all. From what I can remeber only about three or four times in the past few years. Now wire on the other hand, I get small nicks, cuts, and scratches all the time.
 
Not all that often, and usually not on knives. J-boxes, wire, screwdriver tips, nails, and the like usually get me.

I actually feel really really sheepish when i cut myself on a knife, not sure why.

Contrary to what I just posted, last two were from closing my 14200 on my palm, and a shallow cut that didn't bleed from my Ritter--darn thing ships sharp!

...This is all, of course, not counting shaving :D
 
Not too often, but I managed to do it twice last week. A push cut to the bone on my thumb, and just a nice small slice on my finger. Finger healed up in a couple days, thumb just now. luckily, I heal quick. (Thank goodness!)
 
I never cut myself. Well...almost never.

I consider a week wasted if I don't manage to cut myself on something. :D

Same here. :D Fortunately, most cuts are really just nicks that don't bleed a lot. Of course, there was the time a couple years ago when I closed an X2 serrated Voyager on my index finger (the sight of bone is always worrysome :D). :thumbup:
 
Not to often- These are knife wounds only

Hospital Trip- Avg- 1/10years
Super glue fix- Avg- 1/ year
Slice/stab Band-aid- Avg- 1/month

Nope. It means you are working at the right pace. If you are cutting yourself, it is because you are exceeding safe work speed limits.

I seldom cut myself, but I am a photographer, which means I don't really know the meaning of work. :D

Yeah, right. That would sure explain why I haven't caught up with the workload for the last four years. ;):D

Maybe I should take up photography and leave the real work for people who don't mind getting fired for working too slow.
 
I got my first pocket knife at 12 and cut the back of my thumb within 24hrs. That blade was razor sharp and sunk to the bone. Then nicked it too.
I hid that cut for months. I later became a carpenter and since then, bled weekly.

I don't mind cutting myself occasionally. What bothers me is when I shoot myself.




J/K. They taught me in the Boy Scouts to handle knives carefully and the habit has served me well. Only a few cuts over the decades.
 
Fairly often while working on Chinooks, I apparently have some magnetic attraction to cotter pin edges, safety wire with sharp ends ,and just about anything sharp that they I can locate. Knives very rarely though, that last time was after sharpening a knife for someone, at least I knew it was sharp.
 
Lurker you just made me L.M.A.O !!!
Stick to small calibers buddy, you'll last longer, and thanks.
 
I cut myself about once a year, never bad enough to need stitches. Last year was setting the blades on an Old Timer for scan - opening a blade while another was already open. That cut was band-aid bad. The year before was a good one - using my pocketknife to strip some electrical wiring (I keep a wire stripper in the truck now). No band-aids available, so I kept it closed with electrical tape.
 
Not often, but last night a Buck did a pretty good number on my left hand. Always amazes me hust how much a "slip" can bleed!
 
Usually happens in clusters. I hadn't cut myself in over six months, then I did it twice in a week. Once while carrying a very small fixed blade, it slid across the crease of a knuckle where the skin is thin. Then again while sharpening my SAK with a broken tip on the Lansky. The stone hopped off where the tip should have been.
I used to work with exacto knives all-day every-day, man I donated a lot of blood at that job.
 
Blood letting is healthy. I do a lot of yard work. I usually cut myself and I don't know how I did it. Playing with knives I cut myself about 3 times a year or so.
