Silliest Way You've Cut Your Hand REALLY Badly !!

Don't know about silly and it wasn't my hand, but I got bit today by my NMFBM, flew out of my hand today and went through my jeans. :eek: :grumpy:

The cut is like 1" so it's not too bad, cleaned it up really good, alittle Krazy Glue and dressings and it's fine. :)

1st time I have been cut in a long time. :o

Lucky I wasn't swinging very hard I guess. ;)

So much for wearing gloves. :grumpy:

I discovered that an empty can of mixed nuts seemed to be assembled with a force-fit metal collar rather than being completely soldered together. I was trying to bend the can with my fingers to release the collar and sliced three fingers close to the bone when the metal flexed suddenly. I still have scars 47 years later.

That would hurt. :eek:
 
Bitten by a fish! A northern landed and in the boat snapped and caught my Grandfather in the thumb. It clenched down with some very sharp teeth. After trying to pry the jaws open with a pair of pliers he pulled out his Barlow, I opened it for him, and he cut the fishes head off. He had a very nasty (what's the word to describe hundreds of little puncture holes) on his thumb. Didn't keep him from fishing any, we landed several tasty walleye that night.

I know, it's more of a fish-tale but it was resolved by a knife.

The NMFBM (and zilla) have a habit of getting out of control while swinging it. Gotta take extra care when using them, I almost took my foot off with the zilla.

Yeah I noticed that the hard way.... :eek: :o

I need to put a lanyard on it bad so it doesn't happen again. :o

It's gonna be sore tomorrow...... :grumpy:

It does hurt too bad now though and it was a clean cut so I should be fine.
 
Man-oh-man, do I hate to admit this one, but I guess I will......

Of all the knives I use, handle and sharpen, the worst cut I have received recently was from.............pasta..........yeah, here's my sign.

I was doing dishes one night and I was close to the end of what was in the sink so I grab the next to last pot that had been on the stove a few days. It had been used for pasta and had several dried pieces on the side. Dang it if I didn't run my hand around the pot to feel if any was left and sure enough there were. A piece cut my first two fingers on the pad about 1/8" deep, first finger worse than the second. I just stood there in disbelief, my wife just laughed at me. :grumpy:

hats off to you for fessing up to that one !!
 
When I was a teenager, I had (still have) an old Aitor Oso Blanco. Great knife. Anyway, my younger sister asked me if I could put a cut in a tennis ball with my big knife and make a toy 'pac man' out of it for her. I told her 'no worries' and put a cut in it. Well, the knife went straight through the tennis ball and into my thumb to the bone. YOUCH!!!! I was very lucky I didn't sever the tendon but it bled a river and freaked me out. A bunch of stitches, a splint and a few weeks of healing and it was all good.

Great thread!

Considering that I've been playing with knives for 30-odd years, I've been remarkably lucky. Lots of superficial cuts (butterfly sutures and gaffer tape stuff; a few scars) but nothing really bad.... I'll probably lose a finger tomorrow now I've said that.

The only nasty cut I've had was when I was 13, cleaning a big Schrade lock knife, after sharpening it. I had the knife half open cleaning the hinge, and it snapped shut with my little finger in the way. Cut from the underside, half way between the tip and first joint. Right through the bone and stopped against the underside of the nail. Ouch!

....

My friends have better luck...

An Aussie mate of mine was sitting in his garden in Aus, carving on a stick with his belt knife. He saw a redback spider run up his thigh and, pure panic taking over, tried to stab it! The spider was fine and ran off; his leg wasn't!

Another mate, now a karate and taekwondo instructor, was messing about in his front room, showing off kicking techniques. He put his knee through the TV screen (old glass tube type) and sliced completely through under his kneecap. Flesh and skin ended up hooked over the top of his visible patella.

....

OK, so I'm not always lucky... it finally caught up with me yesterday in the kitchen. Not a knife though...

I was cooking breakfast; frying sausages. I had just showered and was naked. My wife's always said that I'll burn my bits one day doing that. Yesterday, she was nearly right. A sausage exploded as I lifted the pan, splashing a remarkable amount of boiling fat into the air. I managed to spin sideways a little, protecting the jewels, but I got hit all down my right side.

Today I've got blister patches from my right nipple, down my side, leg and on the top of my foot. It's sore!!! Fried nipple!

My wide told me I'm an idiot and laughed her head off. Have I learned my lesson? Of course not - I cooked breakfast naked again today!
 
Well I have cut my fingers a couple of times but not bad......however the silliest thing I ever cut was my little pinky toe:eek::eek:

First week on the job at Busse Combat :eek::eek::eek: now that is story:D:D:D

Amy, I take it you dropped a knife point first on your foot/toe. :eek: Or were you just learning how to play mumbly peg with Jerry! :D
 
So it was like my 2nd day at Busse Combat and they had a ganza a couple of weeks before and the knives were ready for shipment....so I was packing the knives......(This is way back in the day when the cardboard sheaths were made out of USPS boxes that we cut and taped for each blade...man I do not miss that..LOL) So I was packing up a blade, made the sheath and putting the blade in the homemade sheath and it fell out of the sheath and went right thru my shoe into my pinky toe:eek::eek:

I was so scared that I had hurt the knife and I was afraid that I was gonna get into BIG TROUBLE...2nd day on the job and this happens..geez

Anyhoo...so I am standing in the shipping room looking at this knife to make sure that it is okay (I was so nervous that I did not notice the puddle of blood that was coming out of my shoe) and Garth walks in and I explain what happened needless to say if you have ever met me I do not do calm well at all...I was talking a mile a minute and every other word out of my mouth is I am so sorry..Is the knife okay...ect.

So Cool Calm Garth finally tells me to be quiet and asks if I am ok? I say yea I am fine...and then he looks down at my foot and says "ummm...I think you might want to take a look at your foot" I look down and notice the blood oozing out of my shoe and and when I go to walk it squishes..So I then freak out cause (I think to myself) OMG I have blood all over the floor..So I am trying to clean up the floor and Garth is trying to get me to sit down so we can take a look at the foot....(I am laughing right now cause this brings back some fond memories)


So Garth convinces me to take off my bloody shoe and sock..which that in itself is a hardship for me because I have this thing with people touching my feet..LOL We clean it up and it was a simple cut right thru the pinky toe...so we put some super glue on it and I finished packing the knives:):)

What is very funny about this story is Jerry and Jennifer were out of town for a couple of weeks and I was so afraid that when Jerry found out I would be fired....so the phone rings like 20 minutes after all was said and done and Jerry and Jennifer asked how my 2nd day was going and I tell them the whole story and he basically said I just need to know that you are okay....at that minute I knew that I would be at this company for a long time because Jerry and Jennifer care that much:):)


So there you go all...my story of pinky toe moment...oh and on a side note I am so glad it happened because I really hated the older cardboard sheaths and we made it our mission to get the cardboard sheaths that we use now...


Amy-0
 
BTW...Does anyone have pics of the old cardboard sheaths that we used to use:D:D
 
That's one heck of a story, you're lucky it was'nt a moab or your pinky could of been history. Well glad to hear you made it and did'nt get fired on your second day. Jerry really treats you all right it sounds like. Can't wait to meet the man one day and you too Amy. Well take care, :)
