So i own 2 of my 4 new knives! The other day I was fidgeting with my griptilian and as the blade closed it took off a few layers of skin from my ring finger cause my fat finger was in the blade path. Today I was using my hogue deka and managed to stab myself on my left index finger. Neither of the two were major injuries but both made me bleed. Lol!
 
Funny....

The worst I ever cut myself was with a brand new Pacific Salt H1. Was wiping the dust from the blade (same finger motion I've always used), didnt realize how much drag that damn black coating had....cut my whole thumb open. Almost passed out from all the blood loss lol.

I'm asian and very superstitious, so I promptly repackaged the knife and gave it to a buddy for a penny lol. So I guess I had the same experience as Rufus1949 Rufus1949 's son in law....
 
Thumbs up to that!!

Pics or it didn’t happen! Didn’t we used to have a thread around here called “the hall of meat” which was dedicated to pics of injuries like that?

Cutting yourself is carelessness, not a mark of a knife making a claim on its owner. I've been cut a few times. 😆
 
Sliced myself pretty good removing a Sog Seal pup from its sheath about 15 years ago.

In 2014 I nearly lost my middle finger of my right hand at the smallest knuckle. My cousin-in-law had a Kershaw Emerson, I was trying it out, and it stuck half open in my pocket. Reached in to unstick it, snapped closed on my finger. I didn't go to the ER for nearly an hour. Wrapped my finger in a paper towel. Stitching was very painful, had my finger in a splint for 10 days. Fun part, doc carried a Spyderco leafstorm and was a casual collector.

As far as the car analogy, yikes. I bought my car Saturday and hope nothing happens.
 
I say a knife isn't mine until it cuts flesh. Usually, and preferably, this means it's used to clean and butcher game animals or meat from the store. Sometimes good quality bbq is good enough for the task. Other times my own finger tips make the cut.

I'm not sure if other people will be accepting of the rule of "if it cuts me it's mine" when it comes to handling other people's cutlery. Words might be said.

If I regularly cut myself with my knife I think my lady would have a talk with me about whether this was the right hobby for me. It still happens, but it's pretty rare. See enough people mangle themselves and you start to have a healthy respect for sharp and pointy objects. When I regularly use a lot of differently ground, sized, and shaped knives the key is focus and not having absent minded moments.
