The knife that has bitten you the most

CRK seb not really so much the knife as amount of pocket time compared to everything else.

every knife I own has bit me at one time or another a right of passage for my new blades i suppose.
 
The Spyderco Centofante III.

I sometimes forget how it's designed and I'll close it like I do the rest of Spyderco lock-backs....unlocking it and swinging the blade down on to my index finger (ouch!).
 
I work with knives all day almost every day. I carve and make walking sticks then do the kitchen work as my wife is still working and I am retired. The knife that most often gets me is the Wusthof chefs Knife. Its very sharp and by supper time I am usually in a hurry.
 
heheh i cud put sum cool bloody pics on here

stuff like this:

:p


but that isnt what this thread is about, dont really know what gave me the most 'innocent' lil bites

maybe just a cheap razorsharp opinel?
 
I've sliced my finger several times when opening the awl on my Victorinox Soldier. The edge on that thing is sharper than you'd expect!
 
Nothing comes close to my BM 42. And sometimes when it bites, it bites hard. In the end, I come back to it time and time again. Kinda like a few women I've known.
 
This little folder here stuck me twice, first time straight into the bone of my left thumb!
had to yank it out of the bone, man that smarted, only to do the same thing not three
days later, but, I do learn, it didn't make it's way to the bone that time ;)
I guess I was getting too use to liner locks and the mid lock threw me, as I reach with
my left hand to close the blade, STAB STAB STAB into my left thumb, ouch! Since it
was thirsty for 'my' blood, I sold her off, but do miss her from time to time,
A WhiteWing model called Warlock made by Bailey Bradshaw and gang, mammoth scales
and CMP3V blade, NEEDLE point let me tell you!

Man ive got to the point that i dont even feel it when my knives nip me. But one of my first decent priced knife that i bought was a CRKT model 16 and i thought it was the hottest knife ever. i would always be cutting everything with it. one day i took it to my sharpmaker the first model and i thought it would be smart to try to learn how to chop with my opposite hand being a lefty all my knives then where right handed so i tryed to chop through this branch and bam it sliced that sucker clean in half and half way down into side of my hand. Almost cut thorugh a very important nerve. Afters 10 stiches i retiered that knife and put it in a display case to always worn me not to be stupid.
 
I usually don't have any problems with knives, but the one that seems to get me on a regular basis is the Emerson CQC7. I could tell stories!

Classic design that it is, and as much as I like that knife in some ways, I usually don't carry it, as I suspect that in an emergency I would end up inflicting more damage to myself than whatever trouble I might solve by pulling it out. :confused:
 
Whenever I get a new knife, I cut myself with it withing a week of purchase. However, it virtually never happens after that first time, with the obvious exception of balisongs. I really don't feel like a knife has been broken in till its drawn some blood...although my new Kershaw Groove didn't cut me, and I LOVE that knife. one of my friends cut himself on it though...3 times...without noticing till he saw the blood... :)
 
knock on wood...
spin around 3 times...
throw salt over my shoulder...

I've only been bitten once and that was almost a year ago. It was my Benchmade Auto Stryker. My then 3 yr old daughter asked me to open a package for her (she knows Daddy's always has a knife). I cut a zip tie and it sliced through faster than anticipated and thwap, I cut my left thumb. It was pretty deep and long (probably should have gotten stitches). I wrapped it in paper towels so I wouldn't scar the wife and kids. I went up to my medicine cabinet cleaned it out, covered it with neosporin and used Liquid Band-Aid to hold it together. Still have a nice crescent shaped scar.

Since then, I've been doubly careful.
 
I don't have an all time winner.

My Ladybug may turn out to be. I've had a couple of near misses since I started carrying it a week ago because the durn thing is so tiny my hand sometimes slips when I try to open it. Got no choice but to carry something that small. New rules at work limit me to a 2" blade with a 4.5 inch max length when open. Not too many knives fit those dimensions. Not even many slippies.
 
I used to cut myself on my opinel all the time. SO I gave it to my father. He seems to like it fine.
I think it was a lack of any sort of locking mechanism.
My current knives do cut me less, but they all have locks (or is a friction folder).

I largely work with my hands so I cut myself all the time with or without a knife anyway. I never bother with stitches, just apply pressure and man up.:)
 
Spyderco Spin, and Kershaw Leek. Not the knives fault at all. I just need bigger handles due to nerve damage in my hands.It's a shame as there are a bunch of Leeks I'd like to have. They both have plenty of knives in their lines that work fine for me. My favorites, Spyderco Endura ZDP and Millie BG42, Kershaw Blur SG2, ZDP Mini Cyclone. Joe

strange, sounds like its got a fisty mind all of its own
kinda sympathetic
It decides for itself who will be its master :D
 
My SE Dodo has bitten me twice in the last 6 months I have owned it. Dodo's after all are very irritable creatures, being extinct like they are;).
 
I've been cut across the fingers with a kitchen knife which required a type of medical glue to hold the wounds together and more seriously with my wakizashi (a sword similar to a katana)which required 4 stitches on the thumb alone

Edit: I just remembered it was my katana, not wakizashi
 
One knife comes to my mind immediately and it was the infamous Spyderco karambit! I was never able to handle the knife without the fear of cutting myself, and it frequently did.
I also cut my finger almost up to my bone dropping the closing blade of a Böker Jim Wagner realty based blade knife with it's choil on my index finger like all my spyderco folders....
Only realising that that specific blade HAS NO CHOIL!!! :eek:

I developed an imidiate disliking of the knife, not that i was impressed in the first place.

My hands do show a lot of small scars from cutting myself thrue the years, i always tend to glue the wounds together with superglue, it works fine.
