Giveaway Entry ... and thanks for the chance.

Think the most bonehead thing I've every done with a knife ... I was a teenager field dressing a deer and layed my knife on the deer while I was reaching in and the knife slipped inside ... needless to say I felt around and found the knife and also cut a couple fingers to remind me to never do that again.

The stupidest thing I've done with a knife involved a Spyderco rescue, a bagel and me taking my eye off the process.
My thumb bled for two days and I have a nifty scar. Did it right in front of my new boss too.

Thanks for the offer and this would be my first Benchmade (always wanted one).
 
Giveaway Entry. Thanks for the chance!

I have a very similar story to Rare blade's, except it was with one of the first generation Cold Steel Spikes. Made for a nice trip to the emergency room on a Thanksgiving night, and left me with an inch long scar.

Dumbest thing I've ever done with a knife? Easy.

Decided to put an Emerson kershaw wave in my back wallet pocket, tip up. Pulled out my wallet to use something, then put my wallet back in my pocket. However when I put my wallet back in, it hit the wave on the blade causing the knife to open. 10 minutes later when I needed my wallet again... Well.... This happened ...

Giveaway entry:

A few years ago my friend, who was a missionary in China, gave me a peculiar looking wicked sharp folder. One day I was sitting on my back porch pondering the itch that plagued my shin, thanks to the abundant supply mosquitos, when I realized that I had said folder in my pocket. Reaching in to my pocket I pulled out the knife, flicked it open, and began scratching my shin--the blade perpendicular to my skin. It took about ten seconds before I had slit open my leg. Still not sure why I thought that was a good idea.

Beautiful knife for a giveaway. Thanks for the chance!

I just healed from opening a plastic wrapped pack of hardware that I tried to open by holding it at the top and slashing at it to create a cut in the bag. Never had a mishap doing it until then. Got my thumb instead of the bag. Rethinking technique.
 
Give away entry. Was thrilled to get my first balisong /butterfly knife. Watched some videos and gave it a whirl. 15 band aids later and blood all over the place...I decided this was NOT for me. Sold it here the next day. [emoji51]

Giveaway entry. Thanks!

Dumbest thing I did was when I used a knife to eat ice cream (no spoon) and cut my cheek and tongue open..

Worst knife I ever bought. Couldn't cut a damned thing. Weird convex / concave grind, three tips (wtf?), pointless serrations, no pocket clip...

My first quality blade was a benchmade rukus. I fondled it all hours of the day and night. Even while on the crapper, which is where I dropped it and broke the tip.:grumpy:

This is the most annoying knife I have, pretty cool looking but terrible lock rock:



Darn I'll have to add the picture later... Seems like blade forum doesn't let me upload pictures through tapatalk.

I guess the dumbest thing I've done with a knife though is tried to baton through some wood but put the knife straight into the steel ring surrounding the camp fire. Dinged my blade pretty bad!

Thank you for the GAW. My worst knife purchase ever has to be the Buck TOPS Csar-T Folder. It was the first knife I purchased that cost more than $100. It felt like a brick, weighed as much as a brick, and cut like a brick. I borrowed a picture from Buck because I didn't own it long enough to take a picture of it.

Thanks for the chance!

Few years ago I was working a long shift on a construction site and was packing up my tools hasty while being exhausted from the day and didn't retract my Olfa and placed it in my tool pouch. Mistake!! Reached in to place more tools in and felt something unpleasant. Sliced the top of my index finger off and it just dangled there by the finger nail like open book hanging off a table edge. Wrapped it up with a shirt, drove the ER and got it glued back on. Never rush things when tired.

The dumbest thing I've done with a knife was disassembling my Spyderco Southard. I had a bunch of gunk by the pivot, and figured it would be a quick 5 minute job. When a bunch of washers and bushings fell out, I realized I had royally messed up. Couldn't find a diagram anywhere of how to put the thing together, but after about an hour of attempts, it's finally back in one piece.

The dumbest thing I've done SO FAR with a knife is a few months back I tried to open my Spyderco Yojimbo 2 with my ring finger, sending the Yojimbo flying to the ground and dulled up the tip real bad! Thankfully it was fixable with a sharpening!

Thanks for the giveaway!

... and I'm here to offer up not one but THREE compelling reasons as to why EyeDog (smirking up there in post #27) Should NOT get this knife.

First, pay no attention to the rugged good looks.. they are but a cruel façade, behind which hides a man who blamed a defenseless balisong for his pain and suffering. Then SOLD it the next day! Tossing it out like a wrapper from a frozen burrito, to the cold streets, to some shmuck without even a background check. I put this behavior right up there with selling your red-headed offspring to Somali pirates and testing hair-spray on defenseless lemurs...

Second, as a decorated veteran of the United States Navy, I can't think of a worse fate than being shipped off to live with one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children...

And some other third reason.

Sorry, EyeDog. Your time is gonna come, but it is not THIS time! :)

(Semper Fi, Devil Dog!)
