Chris Reeve knives are sharp. She's normally knife savvy, though sometimes a poke comes about. I've done it too... You?

I cut myself profusely twice the first day I owned my Sebenza. Where I ran into trouble was closing the blade--my index finger slipped off the blade while trying to close it and then quickly slid back up and was cut pretty bad, and the second cut was on my thumb cuticle and I was 4 IPA's deep playing with my knife...wasn't paying attention so not sure how that one happened. Word of advice, don't cut yourself after drinking 4 IPA's or you'll never stop bleeding!

Lol. I'm not saying alcohol was involved, but alcohol might have been involved.
 
I have gotten bit several times by various knives! Never thought to stop and take a picture of the carnage lol

In that case, just light the blood/alcohol on fire. That will cauterize the wound.
 
I have a funny story... I received my first pocket knife when I was 15. It was a Victorinox purchased at Montgomery Wards if anybody remembers that ancient relic of a department store. The day I got it I went outside across the street to the woods with my dog, grabbed a piece of Oak or Maple off a tree and sliced the tip of my thumb off to the bone.

Thankfully the scar is still there to remind me that I was once young and that moment will forever be imbedded in my memory like the acid etched pattern of finely forged Damascus steel.
 
Hey, I use to work at a Mongomery Ward. Thx for reminding me how old I am.😜

Yep, back when Kmart was Kresge's.
 
Wow. Been handling various knives since the 1970's, never had a serious wound. Only five or six superficial cuts. Have also parachuted five times, ocean surfed, and still ride a motorcycle, with no crashes or injuries. Never really been seriously injured. Lucky? Who knows? Certainly try to be careful. Hope posting this does not change my luck, Mr. Murphy...;-)
 
All I can say is, it's not a good thing when a bug runs across your arm and you're sitting there admiring your CRK with the blade open and you swat the bug with knife in hand. Then about 15 seconds after you swat the bug off your arm, it starts bleeding and you didn't realize you just cut yourself.
And if that's not embarrassing enough, someone hears you scream like a little girl and starts laughing.

Uh-oh......... Now you've done it! :eek:
 
Was making a stop cut in an alder with my large plain jane seb 21 and the stick broke with my hand too close to the notch, it cut to the bone..... On the bonus side, the doctor seemed very impressed as to the quality of my knife :P
