I've seen this question posted before but it's been a while and we seem to have a lot of new members, so I'll ask the question again.

What's the stupidest thing you've ever done with a knife?

As for myself, when I was about 14 I attempted to stab a telephone pole with an SAK, needless to say the blade closed on me and cut my index finger right through the tendon down to the bone.

If your willing to admit it, what was your stupidest moment?
 
A few years ago, I was cutting some telephone wire in my barracks room, and like an idiot, was cutting towards myself. The blade slipped and sliced my nose, narrily missing my eye. Got lucky, and I have a really mean, cool looking scar to show for it. :D
 
When I was about 13 or 14 I was cleaning an old rusty case stockman, had the long blade opened,blade on the other end was so rusted it wouldn't open all the way so I tried to force it open by pushing on the edge of a table. Guess What!,.. it opened and went right into my upper thigh :eek:
 
I was tossing an Ontario Survival Bowie while I was walking. I'd toss it just enough for it to make one complete revolution, then I'd catch it. Well, one time I misjudged it, and the knife landed point down on my foot, going through the top of my boot, and sticking my toe. I was actually able to play that one off.

Another occassion, I had just sharpened a filet knife, and was standing up while i was holding the knife. Well, somehow I stabbed myself in the thigh, and ended up with 2 inches of filet knife in my leg.
 
I was about 12 and was trying to take my little BB gun apart, which had plastic screws in it, so the screwdriver wasn't working... I grabbed my little swiss army knock-off and tried using the blade to get the screws out...it closed on me almost taking my middle finger with it. I was home alone and knew that my mom was on her way home from work so I grabbed a towel and ran up the street to find her hahahahaha screaming like a school girl!
:mad: :D :D :D
 
About 3 months ago when I was dicing vegetables for a stew I was making I did a stupid human trick. First off I’m always bragging to my friends about how I keep my knives razor sharp and love to give demonstrations. Well everyone was in the kitchen sipping a little grape while I was cutting and chopping and also sampling whatever was available. I’ve always curled my fingers while dicing something, but at the moment I had a bunch of ripe tomatoes and after slicing them one way I would chop them another and they were slippery. Well the knife cut great, but I forgot and left my little finger straight and cut the tip clean off. The good thing is that the knife was so sharp that I didn’t feel a thing. Kind of funny watching them go through the chopped up tomatoes trying to find my finger. It healed up fine and it’s just a little short now, by about ¼”. No one wanted to eat my stew.
 
my stupid was also a SAK and trying to pry open part of a vacumn cleaner to fix it, needless to say, it is not excatly a Buck 110 "lockback", so it closed on me and damn near cut my finger off!!!! Paul
 
About the dumbest thing I've ever done with a knife is loan it to my best friend to cut with. He knicked the blade worse in one slice cutting some heavy gauge wire and then droppped it on the ground trying to hand it back to which broke the point. I wasn't happy. Now I loan my super knife to anyone that asks me if I have a knife they can borrow. That way if they screw it up I can just replace the blade.
 
I tried to regrind a Spyderco Meerkat so that instead of a reversed "S" blade to make a hawkbill - which I eventually got, but the knife is so f...ugly now.
 
I was about 8 years old with my first pocket knife. I was carving a totem pole or something and accidently stabbed myself in the wrist.
 
I was probably 10 years old, whittling a stick in my bathroom. Problem was, I was drawing towards myself and the blade slipped directly into my thumb. Could not stop the bleeding for anything. Would not come out until it did, so parents would not know what I was doing. Lesson learned the hard way. :eek:

Sorry mom!
 
Once I actually tried to use a knife that was made in Pakistan.
I WAS YOUNG!! i DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER!! EVERYONE ELSE WAS DOING IT!! I GOT IT FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I was night fishing and had my nice new Rapala filet knife. You know that long slim sharp peice of steel.
Well , I got surounded by something nats, flys , something that flys in bunches. All over me. And stupid me starts swinging and swatting them with both hands.
My mistake was that I had the knife in my right hand. !!!
I slice my arm , my hand , my face , !!!
Then I realized... I was slicing myself... Thank god I only cut myself with some superficial cuts .. wife thought I was nuts. She wouldn't let me go night fishing for awhile after that.
Good knife hunting

The stupidest thing I ever did was piss off my wife by buying, despite repeated warnings, another one.
 
Dropped a Strider fixed blade on my foot. I had no shoes on and the blade hit my big toe.

Never felt a thing until the warm blood soaked my sock.

Five stitiches later....................................................dumb!!!
 
I was working in the back room of my toy store during a CHristmas season- must have been two years ago. I was over worked and tired... and angry because we'd just got word the home office was closing my store.

I was using my CRKT Point Gaurd(PE) to open some boxes when I lost my patience (or my temper) and threw the knife into a nearby pile of boxes, expecting it to stick there.

It didn't- and came back at me, arcing towards the harsh cement floor of the store...

Well I did what any true knife lover does when a knife was in danger. Without thinking I kiked a leg out to try to keep the blade from falling point first onto the cement.. and so it stuck point first in my leg instead. I saved the knife... but not my pride.
 
I left my freshly sharpened AR opened, edge up on my table out of pure stupidity and cut my pinky as I reached for something and hit the blade. Normally, people try to stop the bleeding first, but I picked up my AR to see if I had gotten any blood on it. :rolleyes: :D
