Knife Safety in the woods - How (not) to cut yourself

[storl]

I was at work today, typing away, looking at the various scars on my hands. The vast majority of them were from knife accidents, and only because I did not follow some basic knife safety guidelines. Using what I starting learning from my dad and then in the Scouts, I wrote up a knife safety article for the wiki. Go take a look, read up, and keep your blood inside your body when you are in the woods. Giant slices on your body are not something you want in the middle of a trip.

Of course, if you have any other good tips or suggestions for changes, feel free to create an account and edit the article.

I was talking with some friends about this and it devolved into a sharing of knife scar pics. Anyone got any good ones?
