intentionally cut myself again

[nevertakeadayoff]

I remember a while back, I just sharpened my knife with 4000 grit stone. Manix 2. Went to close the blade and it landed on top part of middle finger instead of closing. It was just gravity, not much force, but I remember how easily it cut.

I finally upgraded my setup with paper wheels... been thinking about the above and thought I'd compare... I let the knife fall just with gravity lol it sure cut deeper.

You didn't have some paper or cardboard lying around?

Edit: this is no good

How well did your finger heal? I saw that a year or so ago, pretty damned good cut!

Nah, I had my mind set on something specific. I love my Tormek.

Help me out guys, am I missing something or is this the same person in both quotes?

David Mary Did you slice off the tip of your finger a year ago or so? I see how that is confusing now. Forgive me, I'm bored.. it's effing raining and might snow in Michigan....

 

[David Mary]

AHAHAHAHA Sorry I didn't realize you were referring to that. I was like is that account shared by two people or something. Yeah, it's good to go.

Hahahah

I wish my grass was emo.

Then it would cut itself.

None of this is funny in the slightest.

Got something to say?

It was funny because I was in the middle of work and had to stop because I didn't want sticky blood on my mouse and keyboard and it took time to find a bandaid. Maybe ya hadtabeen theere

 

[David Mary]

I'm glad my knife isn't Frank Coraci, because then it wouldn't cut anything.

 

[King of the Cheese]

The first line about cutting hits hard.

Paper cuts are pretty awful. I had one once.

much less pleasant than a nice clean cut from my blade!

I'm curious how you guys test how sharp your blade is.

I don't do paper because I would require honing again. Need something soft and consistent...

My favorite way is using the inside of my forearm. Should cut me every time after moving only a millimeter. Doesn't affect blade. The only problem is that I look like I have a mental disorder and I'm thinking these might scar. haha

I thought this sounded familiar and I was hoping it was someone else. The fact that you keep telling us about this suggests to me that you might want to stop, or are maybe thinking about it. I just checked and there are many resources online - you might consider looking into this issue if you haven’t already.

Not trying to preach - just concerned - take it easy bud.
