The stupidest thing you've ever done with a knife.

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



.....buying one at full retail.
 
I left it in hunting camp, I shot a small button buck and had no knife with me to gut it.
So I had to drag it back to the truck and gut it in camp and then pack out the innards
Oh well.
Part two as a kid I stabbed my best friend by throwing him an open knife.
 
I was probably about 4 years old, and my brother found a knife. We were on opposite sides of a fence that was too tall to see over, and I asked him to let me see it. He tossed it over the fence, and it got me between the eyes.
 
I'm not sure if this was the stupidist thing I've ever done with a knife but it is the latest stupid thing. I dropped a small open AG Russell lockback into the seat cushion of the sofa I was sitting on and blindly reached for it. I found it. :eek: No stitches though. :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.

Good God! That is a funny story. :D
 
Its a tie between these two:

1) I lived in South East Florida during Hurricane Andrew. Winds by us were 90 mph, power was out, couldn't get out of the house, and I decide its time to trim the wax off the candles. Blade slipped, went deep into my thumb. Had to sit there and think about my stupidity until the storm passed and I could get to the emergency room for stitches.

2) Sharpened my Mother in Law's kitchen knives. First time she used one, she did that cut that only Mothers know how to do... the one where you rest the food item on your thumb, and push the blade thru it til the dull blade stops against your thumb... this time the blade didn't stop.

Lol! That has to be the funniest one so far. To bad you didn't get that on video tape with one of those Sony night vision cameras. :)

Let's see what I can come up with..

Christmas morning I got a cool 9 1/2" double edge dager thing with a imitation damascus blade and imitation bone handles, the Iron Cross by United Cutlerly maybe? Anyway, very thin, sharp, pointy blade. I had it laying on the floor, with other knives I got, and I think my Dad stumbled over it (while in the sheath) so I took it out to make sure he didn't screw it up. Looked okay so I put it back in the sheath, at least that's what I thought until I felt pain in my palm, oops I missed the sheath! That left a nice stab wound, should have gotten stiches instead of waiting a month for it to finally heal properly (didn't feel to good playing street hockey with it). The other bummer was I got a new scope for my pellet gun and it was really hard to support the 8-9 pound pellet gun with my injured left hand.

Some other little things.. I sharpened up the small SAK blade to scary sharp and then snapped it close on the edge of my pinky finger cutting all the way to the finger nail. I was opening a plastic bubble wrap package with my Spyderco PE SS Cricket when the little bastards beak like blade sunk into the tip of my pinky that was holding the package in a stupid place. I've bumped my hand into an open knife, that was laying on a table, once or twice getting a nice little cut.

The worst recently was probably from my straight razor when I went to change my grip while trying to do something with my strop and I put my thumb right through the heel of the razor, or I guess I should say the heel of the razor went right through my thumb like a hot knife through butter. I just watched in horror as it sliced effortlessly through! If some of you think your knives are sharp, try messing with a 6/8" straight razor that has been honed on 9000grit micro abrasive paper, stropped on 0.5 micron compound, then 0.25 micon compound, finally being stropped on plain leather.

I sold a Microtech M-UDT to a good friend of mine. :)

This was the first time he opened an auto knife. :eek:

When he opened it the knife sprang out of his hand and the blade stuck him in his shin. :(

So, his wife started yelllllling at him for getting blood on the carper. :mad:

Then she takes it away from him and hid it. :grumpy:

He hasn't seen it since. :D :D :D

Those dang flies! ;)

Me too.
First day at a new job. I was working with an X-acto knife and trying to focus on what I was doing but that a fly kept bugging me and irritating the heck out of me. I finally lost my temper and swatted at the fly with the X-acto knife in my hand. I stabbed myself in the belly the entire length of the X-acto blade. Then I looked at myself slackjawed. I couldn't believe what I had done until the blood slowly came throuh my shirt! :D

This is fun.
 
I lent my Spyderco Military S30v, brand new and razor sharp, to my mother-in-law.

Got it back 5 mins later, dull and with 1mm broken off the tip.

She dug for some roots in the garden.:mad:

I have to add that we pay about USD 200 for a Mili here.
 
I lost my grip on my TOPS CQT Magnum folder once and instinctively tried to catch it before it hit the pavement. I caught it, and it caught me with the point, Ouch... Only a knifenut would instinctively sacrifice a limb to save his knife, eh?

Two funnies I heard: a couple law enforcement types admitted to trying to flip open their folders fast with a flick of the wrist.

One was doing it in foregrip while watching TV, whipped the knife open, but also sent it flying -- crashed right through the TV screen resulting in sparks and fire...oops. His wife was not pleased.

The other tried it in reverse grip and sent the knife nice and deep right into his foot.

They both survived and learned to use the thumbstud.

Ouch!

:D
 
uhm ,i was near finished to sharpen a navigator ,when the phone ringed, i decided not to answer, but suddendly i remembered that could be an importan call i was waitng for, so i hurry and bring the phone to ear - with the hand holding the navigator, and i cut my ear, nice cut.. then ,feeling the pain - this is really dumb- i let drop the phone and the knife, but - o my god- i got an automated reflex i tried to reach it with my left hand. i do. point in my palm.
two -dumb- cuts in a couple of seconds..

another is playn that stupid game when you stick the point of a knife inbetween open fingers, fast and more fast. only some little cuts , but this was very stupid and macho .. (i was a little drunk and i were 18. ..and a girl ssked for it)
 
Looking through some old posts when this old gem, submitted by me on the Auto Forum was found, "....and the next nominee for stupidest thing done with an automatic knife"

"...in the last 3 days I've cut myself 4 times, only once with my auto, and that was playing Hungarian Roulette, what you do is place your auto blade down on the table, while keeping pressure on the back of the handle. Next press the release,(this really only works with button lock autos),and while allowing the blade to begin opening,(really the handle acually begins to move), let go of the knife, and let it spring into the air while trying to get your hand out of the way before the blade comes around.

Anyone wanna play?

Just Kidding"

Having grown up with Western European Parents you learn to love the way they speak and write the English language, makes me miss my Mom, and Dad, my Dad used to play the same game with me when I was a kid.

Through out most of Western Europe, people seem more tolerant of everyday people having knives, it's part of their lifestyle, back in Hungary where my parents grew up, every adult male over the age of 8 carried a knife.

There was no real point here just observations and memories brought about by disorder's reply.

I just realized how stupid that sounded, although my wife remided me that, most adult males act like they're 8.
 
Let Rabob, my Iraqi Ninja Kat, carry my CS Emperor series Tanto boot knife.

I'll never get it back from him...never.

hey T, it's true, or was true that we were used to knives, my father (and quite everybody here) always had at least one knife in pocket -my father still do..
also there was a great italian tradition of individual knife-fightin (scrima)
nowadays .... the sheeple fears rised and any crime committed with a knife (mostly knockoffs) starts a new wave of bs on media..
 
Without question it would be the time I threw a Sykes-Fairbairn commando dagger into my foot. I was about fifteen and seeing how close I could get to my foot. Yeah, I know, brilliant thing to do. :rolleyes:
