Well, I recieved my Kershaw ET today, and have been having fun flipping it open. Well, while opening and closing it in a chair in the living room, my brother tried to squeeze by between my chair and the wall, without success. He bumped me pretty hard, knocking the knife from my hand. The very tip, which is very pointy and sharp, went about 1/2" into my palm, from the force of it falling and me, without thinking, trying to grab me. It didn't bleed until I opened my hand and stretched the sking out a bit to see the damage, but then it started bleeding at a decent rate. I just grabbed a rag (which is white) and clenched it until the bleeding stopped, and now I just have a rag folded in half duct taped to my palm until tommorrow when I will see if I need stitches, but I am not thinking I will. It didn't hurt too bad, but my hand did go numb a bit, which is a little unnerving. Luckily though, the blade was not damged in the fall, thank god for that

Be careful and heal well.
