After reading this thread I was some what upset because of most of my knife injuries were before cell phones and my first priority was to stop bleeding and not to take a picture so I figured I would change that 
..So today at work I was having a conversation with a guy about how if my blade wasn't sharp enough to shave, then I was satisfied. Not even 15 minutes later I pull out my Paramilitary 2 and was sitting and cutting tape. Well sure enough I dropped my knife and first reaction was to close my legs to catch it just like a phone or anything else. With like 15 minutes of shift left, this happened..
My boss (female) started freaking out thinking I cut my artery lol but being a country boy I sure enough was very calm and was going to leave a butterfly stitch on it until I got home. It just kept bleeding and basically ruined my uniform but the butterfly wouldn't stay. I was in the bathroom at work and several people came in and I had my pants down tending to myself, but for some of the guys it was an awkward situation. I ended up wrapping up a paper towel and used masking tape to hold it to my leg. I ended up walking about a quarter mile to my truck and drove myself to the hospital. I was joking around with the dr. about how my wife would have a field day saying "that's what you get for playing with knives" he was pretty cool about it and told me not to worry about coming back if I didn't need to & told me to take the 4 stitches out if I wanted.
Few action shots:
Overall I will still carry a knife, and I will continue to use it because it's what I love. I'm sure everyone at work with have something to say about me bringing a knife back to work. It only went into my leg about an inch and a quarter. Had I had a stitch kit at home I would've just done it there myself, no big deal.
