What is the dumbest thing you have seen a non-knife person do with a blade?

Try and Catch a dropped knife...
I like to keep my knives sharp :D
My nephew(44) knowing this, tried to catch a fumbled blade, and damn near cut his finger to the bone.. :o

Someone I know dropped a knife while he was sitting down. He closed his legs to catch it, and the blade found a lovely new sheath!
 
So we're sitting by a campfire, my buddy wants to open a can and asks me for a knife, eyeing my Becker. I toss him my SAK Huntsman instead, then instead of using the can opener he attempts to use the main blade, nearly closing it on his finger in the process. A few loud obscenities later, everything was sorted out.

How exactly did he plan on opening it with the blade?
 
The last time I let anyone use a bladed possession of mine I let one of my friends (who fancies himself a modern outdoorsman of sorts...though he is anything but) use my gransfors bruks hatchet to make a walking stick out of a sapling.

When I went back outside I found him using the hatchet to whittle down one end of the stick, using a huge rock as his work station. So, basically, he'd shave off a piece of wood and then: THUNK, blade would hit the rock. Then THUNK, into the rock again, over and over. Took me a lot of time to get all those chips and rolled edges fixed.
 
Dunno if it's the dumbest but my friend's wife usually cuts ripe mangoes in her hand which practically makes her hand the cutting board. Their knives are so dull that she can get away with it. Unfortunately, one time we were cooking lunch at that certain friend's house and I sharpened their knives a bit. During lunch, wifey did her mango cutting thing again. She got five stitches in her palm and my friend vowed never to have me sharpen their knives again.
 
Using the sharpened edge as a screwdriver! Snapping off the tip while opening a paint can too!!

The horror....the horror....
 
Hmm I am a knife person and dropped my Benchmade Barrage assisted knife into my groin while making the kids breakfast before school, so there is daddy, ozzing blood down my leg off to the ER for 4 stitches at 7am in the morning. Came about 2 inches from a more "serious" wound if ya follow me, good thing all ready had kids [emoji41]

Guess that was pretty stupid or boy I felt so explaining it to the ER doctor anyway.

Stupidity comes in all forms am afraid.
 
I was just messing around and was cutting fiber optics with my leatherman charge (s30v blade) and dented the blade twice.. Needless to say I usually don't do things like that but I don't ever lend out my blade without observing or asking what they need it for or doing it for them.
 
Saw a friend use the back side of a slip joint to try and cut cardboard. Bled pretty good with the deep cut. This was my uber small SOG keychain knife.

I didn't know fiber optics were so hard. That's good to know.

Buy them to begin with.
 
Call it a "Crocodile Dundee knife!" when I took it out to open a box. It's a Boker Pipsqueak.
 
Junior year of high school (2002) a bunch of us were out rolling yards the night before Halloween. I traded for an old (circa 1960's) Case stockman the day before and had sharpened its old carbon blades on my DMT stones and all blades had that fingerprint-grabbing-biting edge but was polished and stropped up pretty slick. So as we were driving to this particular classmates home to roll her yard, my passenger, a very hot senior named Megan, who wasnt quite drunk but wasn't sober either asked me if she could borrow my knife. Being that she was gorgeous and I liked her I gratefully handed it over. So we go and toilet paper this yard and when we get going down the road she gives my knife back, covered in blood. Turns out, the girl whose yard we had just rolled had been fooling around with Megan's boyfriend and Megan was cutting the girls tires when my knife shut on her fingers. Apparently she gave no thought as to it being a slipjoint. It took a while to get the bleeding stopped with only my hunting shirt to apply pressure with. We finally made it to my house and got her super-glued shut. That night learned me that when somebody asks to borrow my knife i always ask what for. Didn't dull the knife any that i could tell. It'd still shave. Still have that knife and the blood stained camo shirt too.
