I've kind of been on the fence about the "Wave" feature over the last few years. Great idea, just not something I felt I needed in my day-to-day use of a knife. Well, that all changed last night. I'm an amateur woodworker - emphasis on "amateur" 
- and while I was working on a small project, I managed to take the end of my right thumb off, with part of the nail too.
It was due to a "kickback" (caused by a hidden knot I didn't see in the piece of wood I was cutting) and it almost sprained my wrist too. I've experienced "Kickback" more than once, usually resulting in nothing more than a bruise and a ruined piece of nice wood. Third time's a charm, I guess.
This may leave me with a "shorty" - we'll know later this week. It also means that for several weeks, my regular EDC traditionals get left in the drawer, as opening them (read: trying to open them) is excruciating.
So, after going through my collection, the best solution is my old Emerson CQC-10. It'll be getting some much needed pocket time, and has seen use several times already today. I forgot how much I like this model, and I even had it up sale sale recently because it just wasn't getting the use it deserved. I'm really glad it didn't sell. It'll be part of my permanent collection after this.
My son wants to draw an "Angry Bird" face on my finger wrap. I'm thinking the Emerson Skull motif. We'll see what I'm in the mood for, once the pain meds wear off.
