LCC D/A's are razor sharp but cant stop mike payne

[feverdoc]

i had the distinct privalege of seeing just how sharp the LCC D/A blade is right from the box....i was attending a gun/knife show in memphis, tn. today and was shooting the bull with mike payne who was showing me a first production LCC D/A that had been sent back to microtech for repair due to dry firing and firing when opened manually....upon his showing me this particular knife the knife would fire on its own once closed with the blade locked shut....as he was doing this the knife fired on its own unexpectedly and startled mike who then bobbled the knife and was severely cut very deeply on his right middle or possibly fourth finger which produced copious amounts of blood....i took over his booth/tables while he went to the bathroom to wash out the wound and apply pressure...it took about 20 minutes of very frim pressure to ebb the flow of blood....he went on selling his wares to curious onlookers like nothing had happened and was actually able to make several sales during all of this....although injured, mike treated each potential customer with the same friendly banter and respect as though nothing was wrong...i helped him pack up at the end of the show and he headed out to the local ER for a tetanus booster and a few sutures...mike i hope all is well and that you continue to keep on trudging although the chips are/were down....feverdoc

Mike, you wanna be careful about these unplanned blood donations. They can be right unhealthy for you...

Seriously, hope that cut heals ok. Especially since I've sent in an order for a XMas present for myself

I love this place! Laughing about is about all I can do today on it with this "freakin" finger splint. $^#$

It's going back to MT Russ, unless you want to buy it cheap and send her back yourself!

Ouch is right Red.....and a few other descriptive words that came out at the time

Looked like a scene from a stinkin horror movie!

Whoa...

Mike you CAUGHT the knife? Would be a good tall story for the grandchildren if it didn't sound so painful. Good job yer knife buddy happens to be a Doc, which is a good thing for those in the business of selling razor-sharp objects.

WOUND UPDATE....mike demanded a recount on the number of sutures needed to close the laceration....we obliged him and upon taking off the bandages we found another vote for al gore up under there.....found a few chads also....these were razor chads...rarely seen anywhere except near knife wounds....seriously, mike's wound is doing better daily....he should have full recovery in a year or two....feverdoc

Mike,

Just be glad that it wasn't a razor-sharp Bowie knife that you were playing oops catch with.

PS...I just tried counting all the scars on MY hands, feet, legs, etc., from trying to catch "falling" knives...I gave up counting after 6...

Now I know why the beautiful and talented (and pretty funny) Mrs. Payne was answering my emails today

I guess I should have called Mike on his cell from California while he was at the show. Probably would have prevented the whole thing from happening.

Get well soon dude, but your Mrs. is doing an excellent job. Probably worth a set of Henkels **** Kitchen knives at least
