What knives nick you most often?

Among knives, a Buck Marksman when practicing one-handed close.

Across the full spectrum, I've been cut more often by the screwdriver blades of a Leatherman Juice than all knives combined.
 
Waved knives - I have cut myself a few times trying to get a waved knife out of my pocket while driving -

Nothing personal, my candid answer is: None, because I pay attention.

Yup, I can only think of one that got me more than once. It was a SOG Aegis years ago. Had one too many while trimming massive Tomato plants. Poked my left hand a couple times. Nothing major. Lesson learned.
 
Cut myself twice with the 0452. Both times closing it, one handed, not paying attention, on the thumb. Won't happen again!
 
I don't always carry my assisted opening knives. But when I do, these are the ones that bite me, esp the Kershaw Leek.
I think its because of the resistance you get when closing,finger slips then owww!

Oh yea, the way the leek is designed being thin, slippery and having a scalpel like tip can nick you quick if you aren't being careful. I recently just sharpened a leek for a co worker and it came out scary sharp with a tip like a shard of glass. I was playing around with that thing and I was surprised at how careful you have to handle it.

When I have it back to the owner he mentioned how that knife has nicked him more than any others in his collection. Go figure.
 
Got a new Buck 110 from a friend, and danged near cut my thumb off trying to release the spring.
 
The code 4 has bit me a few times, I usually let the unsharpened part fall on my finger then close it all the way. But if you don't have your hand choked up on the knife it tends to bite.
 
My Mini-Grip has gotten me in the meaty part of the palm a few times while closing one-handed. I definitely expected to be bitten by the Kudu at some point, it hasn't happened yet, but of course now that I've mentioned it...
