So a couple weeks ago I got a nice minty SJTac in Urban Grey/Snakeskin and it sold me on it. Then yesterday afternoon I picked up my new to me Mr Mojo user in Black/Snakeskin. I love the feel of these thin slabs in my oversized paws. :D I've attached a couple pics of my two Snakes. :)

Well, I put the Mojo to use within the first 30 minutes after it showed up. This Snakeskin Mojo is VERY fast and perfectly balanced. In fact, it is dangerously fast and sharp. Story follows....

I am attaching the gore pics in the second post so IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO BLOOD, DO NOT SCROLL DOWN!!!!
 
The first post talked about the Two Snakes.
This post is about the One Bite as promised. Cell phone pics here, so it is what it is quality wise.

I pulled a similar stunt to what Ankerson did two weeks ago with his NMFBM and now I guess 230grains and I were competing on the same day. I was out chopping weeds with the Mojo (without a tether cord on it, but wouldn't have helped) and while kneeling on my right knee it glanced off the ground slightly backward to land just below the knee on my left shin despite me pulling back on it to retard progress a little too slowly. It made a nice thud when it hit the bone and didn't hurt in the least.

My blue jeans didn't even slow it down at all and this is a non shaving used factory edge.

And for the sensitive among you, this may cause you to lose it. :barf:

It started bleeding right away. I am not a big fan of that cold trickling feeling.

The darn thing sure did go deep and I felt it when the air hit it.

So I superglued the outside just as a stop gap to proper treatment 45 minutes away. Worked pretty good but the doc wasn't too thrilled about removing the superglue before suturing. This pic is 20 minutes after the other two.

So now after a few hours at the VA hospital I now have 5 stitches holding a 2 1/2" long by 1/2" deep gash closed. No pics of that, but here's my humorous re-enactment of the dumb look on my face when I realized what I did. Also, it's a decent in hand shot of both snakes.

I love this Mojo though, especially since I have already bonded with it. In fact it is my first Busse to earn a pet name.... SnakeBite. This definitely gives a whole new meaning to the "INFI in" thing. My wonderful girlfriend suggests that in this kind of application, "INFI out" is highly recommended. I figured I had to post this story on the forums just for the entertainment/educational-how-not-to value as it is kinda silly in a stupid way and thankfully not a serious injury despite it's potential to be. It's my first knife injury in over 25 years of caution. Hopefully the next gap will be MUCH longer. :p

Yeah, just be careful man. It happens way faster than you expect. :eek:

I was planning to do a raw meat test... just not mine. :barf: :foot: :rolleyes: I am impressed with how effective these blades are at ANY cutting task. I don't think I need to do the raw meat test any more. ;)
 
Looks like the super glue worked great. Glad you are ok and still have both legs..
 
Great pics!

Think of the cool scar you're gonna have! :thumbup:

Of course you'll need to make up a better story to go with it that starts with something like, "Yeah, well you should see the bear!" :eek:

Knice score on the 2 Snake Skins!!

Very cool ! ! ! !

Let's Drink!!!! :thumbup:

Jerry :D

Nice looking snakes bro, but you've got to watch out for their bite. Hope you heal up quickly and be careful with those snakes. :thumbup: ;)

That pic was with my leg flat on the ground before I stood up. After I walked around a bit to get back inside the wound bulged out and actually started leaking a lot. That's what caused me to go get some stitches. :o

Yeah, that would sound a lot better than screwing up chopping weeds, :foot: so I'll have to work on something. Of course, the cat... er, bear is already out of the bag.
 
I am glad that it wasn't worse than it was and thankfully you are OK. :)
 
I'm glad I left the factory edge on that one and didn't put a wicked convex on it before I sent it over. You wouldn't have a leg left :eek:

happy to see that mojo found its true and proper home.
 
what you had a Dr stitch it up ?

Sissy !!!!









Just kidding my friend.

You should get rid of that dangerous thing.

Bring it by.

Oh & I hope there is still part of that truck left for our little "project" :D

This week looks good I need to take a break from moving & let out some aggression.
 
what's with you HOGS, you end up cutting yourself I understand that but the next thing you think is pictures or it didn't happen...
you know normal people might even go into shock but not hogs, it's I need to post picts for everyone to see...
Anyway nice score on the two snakes, the are really beautiful knives and I hope you get better fast.

LOL! YEah, what he said:D

I hope you heal up fast!:thumbup:
 
Great scores and get better. Now send those over to me since they are obviously bad luck for you, and I'll take care of them.

No kidding, that would have been bad. :eek: But that sure sounds tempting anyway. I like hand convexing mine, just not sure that one needs it. :p

Yeah, it's not going anywhere for sure and thanks for letting me get it from you MM! :thumbup: :D That sheath is nice and thin for IWB too. I like how you locked it in with the string, arrived safe and sound.

Yeah, yeah... :p I ran out of superglue or I would have just put more on, the stuff works wonders. There are better products for that though, per the Doc's instructions, one is 3M Vetbond (better and more expensive) and the other is Dermabond (best and most expensive). I'm gonna stock up just in case.

I'll have to find out where your new place is and I will bring SnakeBite along with the SJTac which is in definite need of pants. Just know that I am to these two as you are to your 07 SE ASH's. ;) In fact I am thinking DiamondJack is a good name for the SJTac since it looks similar to the pattern on a Diamondback Rattlesnake.

I saved the other half of the hood just for you Dave, so come on over and you can beat up that truck all you want. I wanna see the difference between the CG and LE NMFBM's side by side for sure. :D



And to all of you, thanks for the well wishes on healing fast! My girlfriend says you are all just enabling the addiction! :thumbup:

I pretty much had to do that - the problem with making a really slim crappy DIY sheath like that is that the retention sucks. I pretty much had to use the string to keep it from falling out during shipping :p
