This has been touched a million times: we get nipped, bitten or 'reminded' by a friendly little blade. Probably happens to me more often than I'd like. But, yesterday, a new one. While sharpening my tiny keychain SAK because IT DIDN'T CUT ANYMORE, I dropped it after maybe two strokes on the ceramic and THWAK, it stuck in my leg! Aided by the weight of my keys and SwissTech (too lazy to take them off for a routine hone), lil' sucker bored through the jeans and into my upper thigh. Didn't really hurt, bled like hell. The horror of the whole thing is the hole in my jeans... They are nice jeans

When I was a kid a friend of mine and I were racing each other on skis. He tried to side step away from me at about 40 miles an hour, and caught an edge. I hit him at about 40 mph and put a gash in my leg just above my boot top that took 15 stitches to close.

Our family doctor who sewed it up took one look and said "You were lucky, if that had been two inches lower it would have hit your ski boot. Your leg will heal, your ski boot would have been ruined."

You have got to watch out for those keychains. When I was in High School a friend of mine and his brother were having an argument over who got to use the car. The older brother got so mad he threw the keys at my friend, my friend looked around to see where the keys had landed and then noticed they were stuck in his arm(raised his arm to block his face) one of the keys had dug right in. And no this isn't one of those "I have this Friend" stories this actually happened to a friend, I however witnessed it.

ARGH!!!

It never ends! Now I bump my leg very lightly and the blood starts a-flowin' again... ANOTHER PAIR OF PANTS! It ain't the easiest stain to get out either...

 
DOH! Just got my brand new Endura and Delica today. I was spinning the Endura around in my hand (twirling it through my fingers); I'm known for doing this with pencils, drumsticks, knives, arrows, you name it. All of the sudden... SLASH! Cut the heck out of my index finger ("pointer" for those across seas). Bled through three bandaids. Just got it under control less than 10 minutes ago. The worst part is I never learn my lesson. At least I enjoy myself, though, right?

RLR,

Try a paste made of Adolph's meat tenderizer and cold water. The Meat tenderizer will break down the protein in the blood and lift the stain, no problem.

Don't ask how I know this.

I've talked about how I chopped 1/4" into my left hand with a Kris cutlery piece and how I stabbed my r. hand with an Endura tip and shot blood on the comp.

Just to show knives don't always do it. Awhile ago, this girl in my school had a pencil, she dropped it and speared her foot (she wore open flats). She hopped away with a pencil sticking into her foot.
 
Yea, it doesn't always need to be a knife. One of my best efforts was running both points of a staple completely through my finger. It wasn't really too bad until I pulled it out. Watch out when using a sharp object on frozen bread products too!

RLR, just pour plain old hydrogen peroxide on the blood stain. It will dissapear before your eyes. A nurse taught me this trick in the ER when I worked as a bouncer. (and no, it wasnt my blood).

A good friend of mine, while talking about knives to some other, lady-type, friends, began a sentence with "No, because if I went like this..." And proceeded to make a motion as if stabbing the knife he had into his leg. And promptly sunk well over half of a 2 3/4 SAK blade into his leg. I think the end of the sentence had something to do with pain, or stupidity, but he never finished it. However, his biggest complaint was the hole in the jeans. (His wife knows more laundry tricks than I know knots, the blood was not a problem.)

As for me, and my wounds. I have more than one for each finger, and toe if I was using them to count. But I've never had stitches for a knife wound, I save those for silly things, like trees, and flat concrete.
