Jose, nothing major except nicked a couple of tendons. Blade point went in crossways into wrist, but little bleeding. Dumb and in a hurry. The blade was in a vice with point up. I remembered removing a small coffee can I had the blade covered with AFTER the cut. Shop Saftey 101, don't hurry, and remember Rule 1. Junkcarstock, good idea about steel mesh gloves. I still have some from my packinghouse days. Way back then, they cost about $65 each, which was about 3/4 of a day's pay. Smart thing would be to wear a pair of cotton gloves over them when in use, as we usually did back then. Cotton grips good, wet or dry, and cheap. You have a hard time gripping with the steel mesh.
