The "hall of meat"... (Graphic Injury Pics)

Almost took my knuckle off with a razor at work the day before yesterday. Superglue does wonders. It was gushing pretty bad. This kind of thing never happens with my knives.

Applying glue four hours later, then another pic a couple days later. Basically sliced through most of the knuckle. Thankfully pressure sealed the flap against the finger until it could coagulate.

AntDog, I was so proud to tell Nanc that the ER surgeon said the cut was very clean;)

No stitches just two of those butterfly band aides:D

Hahaha! Sweet! Must have been a very sharp knife Paul. At least we can salvage some pride with that aspect of it!
 
Bought a Benchmade Morpho 32 got me about a month ago...if I hadn't been so busy that day, I would've been for stitches. Stabbed myself in the thumb trying to get batteries out of a coyote call last October and that one took 4-5 stitches if I remember correctly. Nerves are still fubar'd on that thumb.

And this isn't my most dangerous hobby. I get bitten by my snakes more often than my knives. lol

My last nick worth photographing took a minute or two to stop bleeding. (and by that I mean weeks!)

Severed a nerve, and made my right thumb worthless for quite some time.

Years later, there is still nerve damage, and shooting pain if I bump it (which happens frequently, as I am right handed).


I learned your own bone can roll the edge on your knife!

Ouch!

That looks painful as hell!

Sometimes we talk about the use of traditional knives. I haven't seen any mention of any "traditional knife" in this thread. So, it is being moved to General

This was the knife that cut me:



It's a slipjoint, does that count?

Too late! Moved!



But, I did cut my tongue, licking a grandad barlow the other day. I do have a bloody tongue pic, but it was not a good cut.....
 
This one's not a particularly brutal cut, but I am entertained that the shape of the cut matches the Veff serration that bit me...

Whoa, that is one cool-looking CRKT!

I haven't cut myself bad in awhile. Last time I did, I was playing around with my Buck Sirus, which is an A/O, in the dark whilst not really paying attention, watching something on TV. Accidentally dropped the knife and it hit the back of my hand. For a few seconds I just thought the back of the knife had done it as there wasn't much pain and no blood... then I felt the wetness. It was a pretty deep cut on my right hand,, which is my cane hand, so on my way to the bathroom my hand was going up and down with the cane and pumping blood all the time. No pic but that bathroom looked like what Norman Bates would like in terms of interior design by the time I was done (also went to the ER for stitches and have a small but very noticeable pink scar, even though it was years ago).

My dad was doing some chainsawing several years ago and somehow lost his grip on it. He must have maintained some kind of partial grip though because it kept going and took a nice chunk out of his knee that time. Not really a knife but certainly a big-arsed blade. :p
 
This was a nasty one.... Bled all over the place for about 3 hours. Took 15 stitches to close it. It's on my left thumb. Done with a Cold Steel medium Voyager clip point. It reminds me to cut AWAY from myself:



The stitches pinched my skin up so much I can't fully extend my thumb all the way back. Plus, ever since I've had nerve damage in that hand.
 
Stabbed my pinky with a brand new endura. Was screwing around doing something i shouldnt have been doing and i got it. The tip stopped because it hit the bone, the scar is right at the first "digit" section of my pinky nearest the finger tip. I hold ffg vg-10 a little higher now :)
 
get some wasp spray for next time.

you can even wait until the sun goes down to kill all the wasps, and do it all from a safe distance.

if you think stabbing a wasps nest is a good idea, you may want to get into spoon collecting instead. :thumbdn:

Sure. Ok.... Do it from a safe distance when the nest was up underneath a swing? Tucked up underneath the back of it? Gee, I didn't think of grabbing the wasp spray I had literally 15 feet away in the garage.

I'd still have to flip the swing over to get access... Then spray at a distance of the can to the swing.... Unless I laid underneath the swing in the dead of night and sprayed the nest with the wasps flying out at me prone... On my back. With poison dripping on me. From a distance of a foot and a half. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't want to get into spoon collecting and spoil the fun for you and all the other old ladies. Who needs that type of competition?

This thread is not only entertaining, it encourages safety as well. Leave the pudding spoons for your own thread.

Dayum mang! That's gonna leave a nice "souvenir".

Not too bad at all. Amazing since I was able to see the cartilage of my knuckle, the bone of my finger and it's musculature. Here's it all healed up. Still have a little tightness in the muscle.

Here's a new addition for the Hall...
Last weekend my best bud and his wife spent the night. We were all in the living room watching the movie "Fury" (pretty good flick BTW). All the lights were off and it was pitch black except for the glow of the TV...
I got the urge to work on a hangnail that had been bothering me lately. I felt my knife slip, then bite. I felt a warm pool collecting in my hand.
I told my friend "I think I might've nicked myself". He looked and said "that's a lot of blood brother, I can see it in the dark! Let's go check it out."
We went in the kitchen and sure enough I had got the hangnail, and a chunk of my finger. He asked if I wanted to go to the hospital and of course I turned it down.
I just told him "nah, don't worry about it.", flipped my knife shut, and wrapped a washcloth around the cut.
He asked me if I was going to clean my knife off and I said "nah, it'll leave a nice patina".
I flicked my blade out the next day and this is how it looked:



Yes, that IS a chunk of my finger:

:eek: be careful using those blades in the dark guys.
