"STUPID human tricks"(with knives?)

A couple of months ago I got a new DA SOCOM, one night I thought I'd show my long suffering wife how cool the Double Action was. OK this is how it's opened manually, now I'll close it one handed, and then I'll show her the auto action…OUCH!!! I closed it on my right thumb, almost cut off the tip of my thumb.

I don't drink much, but that night I had a few beers in me. Now I don't mix beer and knives, and I don't show off my knives to my wife.

I don't have any knife injury stories, but I thought I'd direct you all to "funny reactions" posted over in Community Center. There are some great stories over there. I'm rather enjoying these ones too.
 
Hi, I'm new, but here's one for you.

I was sharpening my brother's AFCK (?) one evening. Several of his buddies were over watching videos at the time. He and wife had just purchased new couches and we were comfortable seated. I had just finished sharpening his knife to a razor edge and was about to hand it to him.

Somehow I fumbled and the knife dropped it between my legs (as I'm seating). I was lucky to get away unscathed, but the couch didn't do so well.

The funny part is, all of the guys there looked at me with the knife buried about 2" in the new sofa cushion (having only fallen about 12") and in unison said - Cool. Even my brother. Needless to say it cost me $50, cause his wife wasn't too happy.
 
Well, I guess I can admit mine too. The scar is just above my right kneecap, and clearly visible every time I sit down wearing shorts. O.K. I just bought my first throwing knife, a Hibben, this is back when Hibben was the only throwing knife carried by stores in my area. So, I've spent countless hours learning to sink this eight inch wonder into a proper target. I've stuck this bad boy so many times that the point is really dull. Stupid me, I never even thought about how I would never use a dull knife to CUT anything, but throwing it makes having a dull point OK, I have since learned my lesson. Well, my girlfriend and I are outside, and I've got the knife in it's belt sheath. She bets me (to this day I can't remember what

)that I can't stick this tree about twenty feet from me. Well I throw the knife, and to my dismay, I got to watch as the knife (in slow motion) broke the laws of physics and came right back at me, to plant itself firmly into my right thigh, two inches above my kneecap (I am now unable to watch Ace Ventura 2 without breaking into hysterical laughter). After pulling the knife from my leg, and having my brother who is a doctor(and he could'n stop laughing) assure me that two stitches would be all I had to worry about, I sat down and made damn sure that knife was sharp. Still love to throw that knife too.
