I got bitten

spydutch · Apr 14, 2014

The past weekend me and some of my friends have been busy painting my house and doing some other long overdue chores.
Yesterday at one moment I needed to cut some plastic foil.
I was thinking: "Do I get one of my older knives to cut it?" But then it was : "Heck, let's bite the bullit" and I took the #15 Boy's knife out of my pocket.
I opened it and after I enjoyed the positive "click" it sealed through the plasic like it wasn't even there.
But then I got a little careless and I ever so slightly brushed the tip of the blade over my finger, resulting in a nice clean cut.

Nothing really bloody, but it sure woke me up.
I guess the knive is really "mine" now....

I imagine he rectified that himself prior to pocketing.

It came that way from Duane, so you can say he did a great job

Yeah, whoever thought they would be sharp!

When I got a rough rider congress in the mail somehow I had managed to cut myself 4 times, once on each blade! I still feel stupid whenever I look at it...

Ahhh, that's nothing, just a little love nip to let you know to take it seriously. Knives tend to do that now and then.

Your lucky it wasn't a peanut, they tend to bite deeper!

You can say that again. The first time I held a peanut, within two hours I was bit twice. I've learned since then to respect the peanut and all knives and always pay attention to what you're doing.

That's a good looking #15 you have there. I'd like to see a another run of long pull 15's some day.

My wife has developed a habit - when she notices me examining (playing with) one of my knives while I'm watching tv or something, she will walk by again a minute later and lay a band aid down by me. All without saying anything. Dunno why.
