Properly Christened New Knife

[dryflytrout]

Oops?

 

[Korean Hog]

Is that blood? Is it your blood?

 

[dryflytrout]

Yes it's blood. My blood.
Now I've got blood on my shirt, pants, shoes, backpack, mask, and I left decent trail behind.

 

[Owen K.]

What'd you do that for?

 

[hhmoore]

You did it wrong

When I hurt myself with a knife, it's usually with the blade...but the blood is on the handle of yours.

Or....
Basic first aid rule - leave the knife in. Pulling it out can increase the bleeding

At least you made it out.
Was anything following your trail? (would make for a cool story)

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

Looks like you got yourself pretty good.

 

[Korean Hog]

It's yours for sure now.
It's sick...but any blade I mistakenly cut myself with feels that much more like MY knife.

Man what in the eff happened

 

[Korean Hog]

Yeah, fill us in, we love a good story involving knife antics

 

[Korean Hog]

sorry, double post

 

[dryflytrout]

Man what in the eff happened

I was wrapping tape around something to mark it. I tried to switch hands between the knife and roll of tape to cut it. I guess the knife slipped and just barely touched my thumb.
It hurt my ego more than my thumb.

I never feel a new knife is mine until I cut myself with it.

I never feel a new knife is mine until I cut myself with it.

It was delivered yesterday. Today was the first time I carried it. I cut myself almost immediately this morning. Maybe it's meant to be.

So here's the good part. This happened at work. And I had to call on the radio for "a few alcohol pads and bandaids". "Is it for you?" my boss, who was just admiring my new knife, replied...

I had such a long record going, and then a few weeks back I nicked myself while cutting some rope. First time I'd cut myself with a pocket knife in probably 15 years, and it bled like crazy!

 

[Troutzill]

I actually think it is good to occasionally nick yourself with a blade (nothing major). It reminds me to treat all knives with respect.

Yes it's blood. My blood.

For me it looks as way too sharp handle material !?

Fair warning - Bradford knives come extremely sharp.
Oh...um....yeah sorry

 

[gazz98]

That's not your blood.

You were in a knife fight with 4 members of a motorcycle gang and that is their blood. You were the only one who walked away. REMEMBER? *hint* *hint*

 

[abcdef]

Impressive.

 

[Owen K.]

Fake blood. Paid actors.
