In case you were wondering if the Free Rein comes sharp..

[FoxholeAtheist]

It does.

Spoiler: Proof of sharpness on human foot.

Also, don't lean your FR28 against your leg while fooling around with your phone.

 

[TheGrownUpKid]

Oh no! Well thanks for testing it for us. How many stitches?

 

[FoxholeAtheist]

Only three! And juuuust enough nerve damage to leave a numb spot about the size of a silver dollar on top of my foot. A good cautionary wound.

Spoiler: Snitches get stitches

 

[Garth Reckner]

OUCH! Hope it heals up quickly.

OUCH! Hope it heals up quickly.

It was back in Sept 2024... I just got around to thinking about posting it. It's healed up nice, with just the numb spot to remind me not to be too stupid.

 

[Garth Reckner]

I wish some of my injuries left numb spots. Mine all seem to leave nagging pain.

 

[Jerry Busse]

Ouch!

I will try to drink enough to ease your pain!

[Nuker]

Ouch, Brother! Glad to see it wasn’t worse.

 

[David Brown]

yeeeeouch

 

[BugGuy936]

Yikes!

 

[FoxholeAtheist]

yeeeeouch

Speaking of which, this would also have been a better place to have it, instead of just leaning on my leg.

 

[Jerry Busse]

If your sword had been a little longer, maybe the point would have hit the ground further away from your foot. . . . .

. . . . Wait a minute!!!

Let's Drink!

Great Sheath, Man! ( I see that "Buy Brown" insignia at the bottom indicating Dave's handiwork! )

Y'Know, a Man just has to take these Blades out of their Sheaths & Scabbards once in awhile, to take them for walks & what-have-you...
A Leg sure seems like a Good place to lean a Long Blade.

Until... (Ahem.)

Sigh... Yeah, we All get it. We Really Do. No Blame Here. Just Pure Compassion.

Personal Example:
(Sorry, No Photos as my phone-cam was out-of-whack for awhile)
I was holding one of my Busse Blades a few weeks ago
- I believe fondling is the more accurate choice of words -
whilst viewing an adventure film; y'know, it fit the movie theme. Survival-ly. (Is too a word.)
When I woke up...
From having fallen asleep somewhere in the lull of action upon the screen, far beyond the credits rolling at film's end that I never consciously witnessed, I turned to find blood covering both the blanket & of course, my hand...
With my index finger, thumb, & hand web a bit, shall I say, Sliced?
Sliced & Diced?
Sliced, Diced & Juiced?

Is this like smoking in bed? Idk, I've never smoked...
Hazardous to one's Health? Indubitably...
I shouldn't need a Surgeon General to issue a warning, should I...?

Public Service Announcement:
Hear Ye!
Hear Ye!
Fondling Busse Blades or Other Sharp Edges
while Sleepily Viewing Films while ensconced in a near prone position
May Prove Hazardous to One's Health, Extremities, Internal Organs, Pets, or Loved Ones nearby.
Please, for the Safety of One's Self & Those Around You,
Refrain from such activities whenever possible.
That's What they make Trainer Knives For....

(This has been a Climber Confession. Shh: Try to keep this to Yourself. Yeah, just Try )

Soo, Foxhole Atheist, I Fully Relate.
3 stitches is but a memorable marker for the increase of Wisdom.
