Hey, all.
Just thought I'd share my misadventure. I went to pick up my knife last night, and the next thing I know I have blood dripping down my palm.
I'm not really certain how it happened, it was all so quick. One second I'm picking up the knife, and the next I'm bleeding. The blade was open 
, and I didn't realize that [the knife was on top of a chest of drawers, and partially hidden behind some snow globes]. By God's grace, it didn't hurt at all [the blade is sharper than I thought, and the cut is very clean], but the shock of it threw me a bit. I was able to clean, disinfect and bandage it with the kind assistance of my dear wife. She also helped to cut up the apples for our old year's night apple pie [normally my job].
I've attached a few pics for visual interest. The knife is a Schrade Extreme Survival SCHAS1, 4034 steel. The spot of blood in the third pic is all that was on the knife. I received it last year as a gift from one of the pastor's at my church, a brother in the Lord and a brother knifeknut.
Edit: As an aside, the apple pie, and a pumpkin pie, were both generally well received, although the apple pie was thought to be slightly too sweet. And, to clarify a possible question, no, I did not accidentally pick up the knife by the blade; I'd grabbed it by the end of the handle.
Have a great New Year,
Frank

My wife had used it to open something, and couldn't close the liner lock, so just tucked it away opened. Oh, well...
