Was it and OD Izula? They seem to be more hungry for blood then any other finish.

Haha, well, you got your official "RAT Welcome"! Like I have always told people, it's not really my knife until I've lost some blood thanks to it. Then it's "mine".

Why, yes it is... but it's ok. I'll pay it back when I beat the crap out of it in the woods tomorrow

There needs to be a "My OD Izula bite me" club or something,
Agreed. OD Izula's are bloodthirsty. Mine drew a drop or two, but shaved a good hunk of thin skin off my the outside of my index finger when I was doing the paracord wrap. After I got it started in the right spot, I wisely kept it in the sheath from that point on.
Lesson learned. I may not be always smart, but I'm not always smart either.

My OD Izula hasn't bitten me ...
yet.
I purchased 3, gifted two. The one I kept left me a nice scar, the others haven't given their owners love bites yet.
Of course whittling late at night wasn't the smartest thing I've done.

As odd as it may sound, it's nice to hear about people slicing themselves from their newly acquired knives. Enjoy your Izula and hope your thumb heals up good.

Hmmmm, I see more and more RATs drinking blood. That's their way of steeling your soul!
