Hey all, I just wanted to let everyone know that the Kershaw Junkyard Dogs will bite.:eek: They are plenty sharp.:thumbup:

I had the unfortunate mishap of doing something I shouldn't have been doing earlier today and my dog turned around and bite me good today.:o

As some of you may know I work at an Army post hospital and you can probably imagine the staff in the E.R. really letting me have it.:o Especially since I've been going around for the last month showing off all my new Kershaws.:foot:

Fortunatley it only took four sutures to close, but part of the tendon was nicked and the laceration was to my right hand index finger right over the knuckle and I'm right handed of course.;)

Guess I didn't need to use my right index finger for a little while anyway. :D

I guess it's a good thing my wife had already told me I'd have to wait a while before I could buy that Spec Bump I'm Jonesing for.

Kneedeep, see I told you that the karma thing rarely shines down on me.;) that's my karma for you, I give up my two new ZT's and I get exactly the reverse, something not so good.:)

Moral of this long rambling post.....please be careful with your knives.:thumbup:
 
Oh how I remember my first cut by a Kershaw. Deep as hell, took 6 stitches to close it. Have a great scar to remember it by. Good thing it was so sharp out of the box, I never felt it. It is embarrassing for a knife nut to cut ones self. But we all do it at one time or another. I was cutting Styrofoam on my lap and stuck an ET straight into my left thigh. If that is not embarrassing, I don't know what is. So, how did you cut yourself?
 
The only time I've ever cut myself at a knife or gun show (or handling someone else's knife, for that matter) was with a Kershaw E.T.

I had never handled one before, and didn't really understand how it worked. To this day I'd swear it looked like the darn thing intentionally bit me. It got me on the back of a knuckle, snapping closed. It happened so fast my girlfriend wasn't sure of what she saw and had to ask "did you just cut yourself?" That knife was so sharp, the cut was so clean, that I managed to get away from the table without bleeding all over it by straightening my finger. The second I bent it, blood was gushing all over the place. Took awhile to get it to stop since it was on a knuckle, and it was hard to not move it. Talk about embarrassing, try looking at knives with a nice fresh cut (or bandage) on your finger, and getting that hesitant "be careful with that, its real sharp!"
 
I've cut myself twice with my blurs. boy that sucked. it was right by the cuticle of my right index finger. i have 2 scars, each within a couple of mm of eachother.

how u ask?

this is the most embarising thing ever, while closing it. think about how the blur locks and how you would close it.......very stupid way of cutting ones self. when i play with Baby, i keep my fingers as far away as possible!
 
I havent been bit by one of my Kershaws......yet

But after reading this thread I'm worried you guys are going to jinx me :eek:

I will not cut myself, I will not cut myself, I will not.................:p
 
I got bit by an ET 3 times on the first day I had it. The first time I chalked it up to not fully understanding how the locking mechanism worked, the next two times it was sheer stupidity and an unwillingness to give up on finding the best way to open and close it with one hand.

Without disclosing TOO many humiliating details, can you tell us if the knife malfunctioned in any way, even if as you say you were doing something you shouldn't have been? It wasn't lock failure or anything like that was it?

Thanks, and I hope your hand heals faster than your ego. :D

Just used an aluminum finger splint, but got tired of it quickly. If the tendons gonna snap, I'll worry about it then.:D

I've seen and worked on dozens of the same type of lacerations in the last 25 years, that's why it's kind of ironic that it happened to me. I'm in EMS and work at a hospital.:confused:

I kinda need to use my fingers without that cumbersome splint. :o


longbeachguy, just playing around trying different opening and closing techniques and I should have been being more careful, that's all.;)
 
I cut the tip of my middle finger w/ my new Speed-Bump, after I figured out how to turn the safety off :o The AO was faster then I expected & I had my middle finger in the way as it opened & the tip of the blade cut me on the upswing :eek:
My first Kershaw but not my last , these things are cool !:thumbup:

Thats almost as embaressing as my example. I mean, to be cut on the up swing's gotta suck. How bad was the cut?
