It was my Golden Native, sharpened flat to the stone, fresh off a sharpening that had it push cutting the yellow pages around the same distance from the point of hold as a stanley razor blade. It went through my fingers like they weren't there, and my thumb was literally split like when you see a sliced hot dog hanging out of the end of a bun. I didn't feel the cut until after my kitchen was covered in blood. Luckily the first aid kit was right there in the kitchen. Lots of pressure and stitches brought it all back together nicely. The Doctor and Nurses marveled that a pocket knife could make such a clean cut, and said clean cuts heal better than jagged ones. Now that particular knife has the Krein treatment, although the edge is a rather thick for me .008" due to it being S30V and not ZDP.
