Waves of Disgrace; Tales of Horror and Humor

OK, that's it

, you made me almost choke to death on my Ice Tea (didn't want to spit it all over the computer

). I could picture the whole scenario as it happened.

I'm just glad it wasn't one of my dogs (champion show dogs), how silly would that look.

And yes, I had my first Commander for all of about 30 minutes before it bit me. Damn, them tips are sharp.

Great story, David! I knew you'd come through with a good one.

My wife enjoyed your story as well, and now you have proven to her that I'm not the only one who's nuts. Thank you!
BTW, I hope I didn't come across in my story as totally heartless. I love dogs and have both a female American Pitbull Terrier and a male Border Collie that my wife and I consider to be our children (and a cat, and a crow, and 60+ Colored Angora Goats, and a Llama). I was actually very concerned about Bear's nose, but once the glue sealed him up I really couldn't justify putting him through the added anguish of stitches. My Vette interior was actually the least of my worries at the time (Really!!).
Anyway, I'm glad that everyone got a chuckle out of my story, and I hope that others continue to add their adventures to this thread. Thanks everyone!
Hey, how about a thread to somewhat counter this one. I'm sure that there are a great many Emerson owners out there who have used there blades successfully in emergency situations. I had a rather nasty encounter with a 43" long Western Diamondback Rattler this summer, and my Titanium LaGriffe helped me resolve the situation. Emerson to the rescue anyone?

Here's my wave story. I work for the P.U.C in a small town so I know alot of people who live there and myself and a fellow worker were working on the lawn of someone we knew. I wear insulated bib coveralls, you know the ones that are all orange with yellow stripes on them. Well I had put my Commander in my front left chest pocket so I could grab it with my left hand and use the wave to open it when I drew it, and some of the guys from work really got a kick out of it. But I am right handed, its to hard to draw it out of a right chest pocket with your right hand because your arm is now higher than your head, so thats why I had it in my left chest pocket. (You kind of have to visualize). Anyway or friend comes out of his house to see what we are doing and he sees my knife. He works for the fire dept. and he was kind of interested to see what I had, so I grab the knife with my left hand and as I draw the knife I'm pushing it forward so the wave would catch on the pocket which it did and as I pulled it out it flipped out of my hand and sailed past my co worker and landed about 5 feet away on the lawn. Talk about someone losing a nose, or an eye or who knows what. Anyway now I'm alot more carefull how I show off. And my knife now resides perminantly in my right front jeans pocket. All you have to do is look at all the tattered pockets on my jeans. I love the wave and it works great but I go through jean pockets like s**t through a goose. Anyway everyone have a safe and Happy New Year.
 
My only "WoD" moment was when I first got my SOCFK. Not only did I get bit practicing the draw, I was so enthusiastic about getting it out as quick as I could that I yanked kinda hard - too hard. The blade opened with a very audible click, it slipped out of my hand at the apex of the draw, and the natural motion of my arm plunked the knife in the wall behind me... up to the serrations, no less!

Luckily, aside from a band-aid on my index finger, and some spackle for the wall, everything was OK. I've toned down the draw as a result, which'll be a good thing for my walls, fingers and pockets.

"DiscountGuns" just posted a link to this thread over on the Knife section of Gunspot.

I started reading it again and nearly busted a gut. Classic thread!

I thought I'd bring it to the top for some of the newer folks or anyone that missed it the first time around.

Enjoy the pain.

Ok....heres mine and it involves policemen!

I have been teaching and selling a few auto knives to my friends at the police department (i am a cop too) here in florida. Well, the new no-auto law came out so Im sitting in the office showing them our new alternatives. First we play with the Kershaw Black Out assisted knife....they like that...woohoo. Then I say, look at this and I wave out my CQC7. They say...cool...lemme try. I slowly show them in this office how to do it. The first macho cop says...lemme try. He squibs it the first time..then gets it the second and third time...and he loves it. The next macho cop says...lemme try. So I show him. He says...it will cut my finger on the way out! I say....no it wont..it fires clear of your fingers. He does it about 3 times then slashes a gash in his right middle finger. Apparently he was leaving his middle finger in the path of the opening tip and got tip cut. The funny part was the first macho cop who laughed at the second macho cop for cutting his finger showed me yesterday 3 scars on his finger where he slit himself the same time but didnt say anything!

Oh well.....some ole dogs like John just cant learn new tricks!

That's alright, wait till you lie down to take a nap on the couch and your Wife has an Afghan on the couch and the clip hooks up in the holes of the spread, when you get up, the Afghan pulls the Commander out...the Wave activates and you slash yur azz. That's special.

"Hey, my azzz is cold..."

I don't know if it ever happened or not, I'm just typing.
