What is the stupidest thing you have ever done with a knife?

Stupidest thing I personally did with a knife is poke a hole in leather with the edge facing my index finger, cut to the bone across half the finger.

Stupidest thing that I ever had happen to me involving a knife....wife was cutting tomatoes in the kitchen and I walked up behind her and asked "what ya doin'"..she turned around to talk to me with the knife point facing forward parallel to the ground and rammed it right into my gut....luckily not too far but it scared the crap out of us both....I don't get anywhere near her when she has a knife anymore.
 
When I was 13or 14 or 15, or thereabouts, I whacked off a chunk of meat from my left palm about three fourths of an inch wide and three inches long. The scar I still carry some forty years later is a bit smaller than that. Don't ask what I was doing, cause I won't tell you. The knife was a Bowie, of course. A Western 49.

My "stupid cut" may not be as bad as the cuts some of you gave yourselfs, but when it comes to the "stupid" part, I think I take the cake.

I had just got my Emerson Super CQC7 in the mail. I was laying on my bed fondling the knife, opening and closing it, eyeing it over etc... I moved my right hand to grab something (maybe my computer mouse, maybe the remote) and went right across the blade with my index finger. Man, that thing is sharp! I literally yelped out loud and then bled like a geyser. I have never bled that bad before. The blood squited out with my pulse and left pool of neon red on my sheets.

You know how New Graham Knives sends those fridge magnet band-aid caddies? Well I have ordered from NGK many times and I just about went though my whole stock. The blood was making the band-aids loose their adhesion, forcing me to reapply. After I got some band-aids on good and tight, I left them on for a few hours and then put on a clean set. The cut was still bleeding and still gushed out blood even after having tight band-aids on for 3 hours.

Luckily the cut wasn't actually very bad. It just hurt and bled. But that little mishap isn't the stupid(est) part.

Later that day when I was at work I told my friend about the incedent and reinacted it. While showing him how I carelessly cut myself... I CUT MYSELF AGAIN! This time it caught my middle finger. Luckily, this cut wasn't as bad, but when I felt the Super CQC7 slice my finger, it put the fear in me again.

Cutting myself while showing someone how I earlier cut myself... I know there are people more stupid than I, but I doubt they have the mental ability to double-click a web browser icon to come tell us about it.

Maybe not one of the worst, but one of the funniest. Well said!
 
When I was younger, before I really got interested in collecting knives, I almost cut off a piece of my thumb..... while slicing a sandwich in half, with a regular kitchen knife.:o

Didn't even go to the hospital. The piece was just hanging off of the rest of my thumb. So, I pushed it back into place, poured vodka on it and bandaged it up as tight as I could. It didn't hurt.... at first. The pain was REALLY bad, for the next few weeks. But after that, my thumb looked fine! :thumbup:

No, Bubba. I wasn't trying to shave my palms. I was triying to turn a square 4X4 into a round one to use to make a copy of a Browing water-cooled machine gun.
 
One time, a girl i was dating tried to close my 110 with one hand, and of course, opened her finger in the process.

I tried to save her though. I put my hand out and went "UHH!!..."

But it was too late.
 
It's not as bad as hurting yourself, but I once opened a case of soda with a just-sharpened knife, and cut open three or four of the cans. Not that bad, but a big mess! :rolleyes:

Just out of curiosity, what happened afterwards? Did she blame you for the accident?
 
ummmm let me see...there was the one time where i was cutting cheese (:D ) and i cut my thumb along with it and had to super glue the cut shut...then there was the time i thought i was cool enough to play with my bali in the dark and ended up getting a few stitches(see pic below:) )...o yea and i chopped the spine of my friends fixed blade with my fixed blade...good thing i was using a swamp rat and i only slighty dented the edge :)

Here's how to do it:

1- Save image into your picture folder. Go into that folder and click on it.
2- Click "File" in the upper-left corner. Then click "edit."
3- Now in Ms Paint, click "Image." Then click "stretch/skew...Ctrl+W."
4- In the stretch box, change the Horizontal and Vertical % to a number smaller than 100. (Make sure to change the # in both areas to the same one).
For example, changing the # to 90% reduces the image by 10%.
5- When you're done, click "okay," save the image, and now you can upload a smaller pic.

Hope this helps.:)
 
Can't remember any accident with a knife impessing enough... Wait, once I cut myself badly with a shattered mortar...
Back when I was a student, my roommates and I used to throw knifes at the door. Well, it was not nesserily locked... some guy walk in, good thing he was corpulent - the knife stuck in the fat, and have'nt injured anything important.
It was'nt me who throwed the knife.
 
oddly enough my most severe cut did not come right after uttering the phrase "hey hold my beer and watch this" several years ago i was at a wedding rehearsal dinner and I thought it would be a good idea to try and take a serrated steak knife away from my date. she was holding it point up and edge toward me, i reached out and placed thumb on the handle and index finger on the back. she jerked down and I jerked up, don't ever let anyone tell you a serrated steak knife won't cute, it went down to the bone. to this day i can still remember how the little serrations felt as it went into my thumb. pardon me while I gag at the thought.GAG, needless to say we broke up soon after.
