hay was sitting around and noticed a scar ..
got to wool gathering and
as a kid the pin knife in my toe nail trying to stick closer the then other kid..

trying to get a child proof cap off with a slimmed bladed 110 and
i put it clear through the meat on my finger..

dropping a new gold blade and it sticking me in the leg
and bleeding for hours..

jest wandering...
any others got tales of cutting your self that you would admit to ?
;)
 
I was opening a box last week, and jammed the end of a Spydie military in the back of my hand. I try very hard to keep my free hand away from the "downstream" of cutting motion, but failed pretty badly this time. I can remove the stitches in 2 days, which I am very much looking forward to.
 
Years ago, back in high school, I was cutting the insulation off of some large gauge wire. Not being smart about it, I cut towards my hand rather than away. Knife slipped and cut my pinky finger clear to the bone severing the tendon in it. So, today I have a small scare and can't bend the last digit of my pinky. Not smart.
 
Hate to admit this one cause its not accident its STUUUUPID:o
I was at a golf outing with my buddies and thought it would be funney to hold an unopened can of beer in front of one of them and take my 110 and stab the can causing an immediate foamy beer shower. Unfortunately my range of stap exceeded the diameter of the can and I put about a 3/8" long x 1/4" deep hole in the center of my hand. Not only did it not raise a laugh from the crowd, but it hurt:eek:
 
Yes, don't cut yourself. Leave that adveture for anybody else ... :D

A time ago I pimped up an old knife and gave it a new edge. Then I got a
phonecall --- my mom for chattering. Son Erik came in saw the refreshed knife
and took it for a view. I whispered to him: "be careful, it is sharp, you can use
it for shaving". And he tried it out. He tried to shave hairs from his thigh and
with a drawing cut he sliced into his thigh that he had a long and deep cut in his skin ...

Just in this moment my mom asked "how the family giong"? My answer: "All is fine,
Nele (lil' daughter) is playing, Henri (youngest son) is reading comics and Erik
bleeds like a pig ... And how are you?"

I'll never forget the mien from Erik in this moment. He showed a mix of amazemant
and consternation. But Erik learned his lession. Since then he is careful when I tell
him that the knife is sharp.

Best,
Haebbie
 
I was feild dressing a buck in 1996 and while cutting upo into the brisket to split it,I over powered and cut right threw everything and that included my pants .Long story short,I cut right to the bone ,20 some stitches later the doc forgot to check for any clots prior to sewing me up,cut stitches out,put his finger in and got out 3 clots that looked like rabbit kidneys,20 some more stitches and I was on my way.Foot has no feeling in it to this day..sharp 110's are dangerous some times.
 
I counted about 25 scars on various areas of my body, but mostly the fingers on my left hand. Too many stories to recount, and mostly from my youth, although I had a good one last year. My son, who had just turned eight years old, wanted to whittle a stick. I found him one in the yard, and grabbed my trusty Camillus demo knife that is always wicked sharp. I'm holding it in my right hand, the stick in my left, and breaking off the twigs on the side of the small branch, when, as I pull on the last one, not thinking, it breaks, and I slice the thumb of my left hand to the bone right over the knuckle. Bled like crazy, but the knife was so sharp, I barely felt it. Healed in two weeks without stitches, although I probably should have got them.
 
One time I was using an accusharp to sharpen an old samurai sword and I messed up my hand motion and sliced my thumb on the second pass. Not such a noticable scar but it hurt when it happened haha.

Not having to do with knives but one time when I went to shoot my uncles pistol with him in the summer before 7th grade, I was about to shoot and my uncle wasn't paying attention to my hands and my left thumb was below the hammer and when it shot the hammer cocked back and smacked my thumb now I have a weird looking scar on my thumb knuckle.

And another time I was being really stupid and was messing with my grandfathers knife, a schrade old timer and I took it and slid it on my upper arm and it cut through the skin easily, guess it was sharper then I thought.

Last one I remember is I was trying to cut somthing with my very unsharp butterfly knife and I was cutting into some kind of package I can't remember and it went right through and stabbed into my finger.

I have tons of these stories I just can't remember right off hand.
 
At work, I threw my Buck 119 once, to prove I could make it stick, and it bounced back and bit me in the lower left abdomen. The docs had to lengthen a 3/4" cut to 2", so as to make sure I didn't do any other damage. And I kept having to tell the Seattle PD cop at the hospital that no one attacked me, I did it to myself. I think he kept coming back and asking me questions just to really rub in how stupid I was.

I thought I'd never live that one down, until a coworker shot himself in the foot on a camping trip two weeks later. Not a serious injury, only grazed his foot, but we harassed him until he quit.

I was on a mule deer bow hunt carrying a Buck Zipper right after they first came out. My buddy nailed a nice doe but did not know how to field dress yet. I volunteered to do it because I wanted to show him how cool the Zipper was. As I was pulling the gut hook through the hide I reached down to pull some loose hide away and poked the blade edge with one of my fingers on my left hand. Bled like crazy.
Then, a month later, on an elk hunt in Colorado, volunteered again on a friends cow elk. Did the SAME THING AGAIN!! Now I have a V shaped scar on that finger! And, I let my friends field dress their own dang critters!!!:rolleyes:
 
I just showed the wife a scar today. I decide to put in my pocket an old 301 I havent carried in a long long time. I remember when I was a teen doing about the stupidest thing I ever did with a knife. We had been playing volleyball and was leaveing. One of the stakes was stuck in the ground so I decie to use my 301 to get it out. DUMB DUMB DUMB. The master blade went through the plastic stake and right into the meat between the thumb and index finger on my left hand. Nice scar.


Kid small victorinex whittling slipped and cut left index finger to the bone. OOOUUUUCCHHH. Everything else just little nicks.

No offence but just the fact you threw your buck 119 to try to make it stick makes me wanna smack you :grumpy: get a cheapo 5 dollar fixed blade and do that.
 
20 or so years ago my paw-in-law like to get his knives sharpened at a sporting goods store in WV...They used a belt sander that would put a super thin """SHARP""" edge that would nick badly with any use but was really sharp..I closed it with one hand and cut about a 1/16" slice off the end of my ring finger....It hurt to use that hand for 2 weeks if I touched anything!!! I tried to tape the thin piece of meat/skin back on too..Nope.....Bled for hours and hours too...I once stabbed myself in my right leg just walking along with a knife in my right hand [I was 10 or 11]

I'm not offended at all - at the time, I totally deserved it. I was 22, and (I thought) smarter & more mature than my high-school aged coworkers. That's what I got for showing off. Learned my lesson the hard way, big time. I don't throw knives anymore - that was the first, and last time, I've done it.
