Post your knife scar pics here. Also, if you can, post pics of the offending blade. Details of the ordeal are cool also.
My story:
Had a double edged 4.5" dive knife enter my foot once. I was young (13) and stupid. I was "flipping" the knife around, in awe of it's perfect balance. However, the knife's balance was much better than mine. I tossed the knife up, to flip it over and recatch it. However, I failed the "recatch" part, and the knife plumeted tip-down towards (and into) my foot. It impailed me, right between my big and second toes (about 2" back from the jam). The knife when all the way through... My first thought wasn't "darn, I almost lost a toe", it was "damn, my mom's gonna take this thing away from me". lol. Well, 20 years later, and I still have the nice blade profile scar nestled right ontop of my foot, though the knife was mysteriously "lost" by one my roomates in college. Loved that thing! It had a sweet edge, balanced skeletonized grip and an awesome sheeth! $20 years ago, the thing retailed for over $50 and thats a lot for a dive knife back then. I think they also marketed it to the rambo types, in a blacked out version. I think the brand was Tekna (who made dive equip.). I think Tekna was later bought up by the Rayovac corperation, to aquire Tekna's dive light market. Damn sweet knife though. Pretty sweet scar too!
