What's the stupidest thing you have done with a knife?

When I was about 7, and tried to stab a coconut with a slip-joint. I still have the scar across my finger.
 
I was about the happiest hunter alive after killing a 150 ten point white tail. I was by myself and trying to cut the brisket bone and in a dragging motion towards my own chest. At that precise moment the Blade sharade bear paw lb7 snapped off and I stabbed myself in the chest with about 75 pounds of force or more. I was already covered in blood from gutting the deer. I though I was mortally wounded as my chest hurt bad and I looked down at what looked like a 4 inch blade stuck into my heart. I removed my hands the knife fell on the deer. I then laughed for 10 min straight . Never pull a knife towards yourself while cutting with 2 hands. I was 20 years old . Kellyw

Tied for first as funniest.....blew fried rice over the screen reading them

My stupidest; whenever you are flipping a Spyderfly, pay attention. The blade was sharp and let a nice line of blood across my knuckles.

Me too, never really hurt myself bad with a knife but I did break a SOG Twitch II trying to take it apart, dumb idea, I had to replace it because I voided the warranty.
 
Dropped a razor sharp hunter and in flailing around trying to catch it chopped part of my nose off. Then it still fell and cut my big toe off when it hit the ground. At the hospital they accidentally sewed the nose part onto my foot. Now whenever I sneeze my damn shoe flies off.
 
I use to carry a 4 inch fix blade unside down in friction holding FRN sheath, turnes out it was cheap, crappy friction holding FRN sheath...

walking up stairs it of course fell out, spun 180 degrees and landed sticking straight up out of the floor 1/4 inch beside my bare foot.:o

Could have been worse :D
 
spilt a small piece of wood when still holding the wood, My Izule went in with much force and hit me right on the 1st knuckle of my pointer finger

Cut flesh and my tendant, the stitches can come out on dec 1 :D

really stupid cuz i play guitar and ride horses wich i can't do right now:(

My uncle gave me a beautiful bone handled Eddy Bauer folder (a fishing knife) for christmas when I was 12 or so. I took it to school and and took it out to show a friend and a teacher grabbed the knife and me and hauled us to the principals office.

The principal took one look at the knife and I knew he was going to keep it. I shoulda grabbed the little sob by his tie and demanded my knife back. :mad:

Yes, I'm an idiot for taking the knife to school but it should have been returned.

Now that's funny right there.
 
One I day I was cutting up some cardboard boxes at work and I ran across some inch thick card board which was to much for the box cutter I was using. I just happened to have a Cold Steel Vaquero Grande in my pocket. That I was showing to a Co-worker, to demonstrate the ridiculous factor of that knife. Cardboard=Butter. Skin=butter. Took some work to get it dislodged from the bone in my left index finger. Iodine and emergency suture kit fixed it right up. This was four weeks ago. This Thanksgiving I'm glad I have my finger.
 
When i was working in my new Strider SNG i was flipping it a bit too fast and chopped the end of my thumb.
Oke, thats stupid but it happened 3 times in total :grumpy:
Now i know that the end of the thumb is really sensitive :D
 
my big mistake was removing staples out of a drawer for my neighbor with a cheap ten dollar knife! needless to say i reward with inch slit in my left hand. right in the web between thumb and forefinger. got to see muscle and tendons before it started to bleed. :D
 
Stupidest thing I ever did has to be trying to catch my Szabofly when I accidently dropped it. f'ing tip went an inch into my hand. Three stitches and a month later, my thumb still doesn't work quite right.
 
Uh, well I had just got a new phone after having my old one for a number of years, and that thing was SPENT. So, I decided to test out my RC 3-Mil by stabbing the crap out of it... After a few stabs to the screen, I came down for a wicked stab and missed the phone, stuck the knife a half inch into my floor... didn't injure myself or the knife luckily...

I also drunkenly stabbed a street sign and fudged up the tip of my Tenacious slightly... The sign was in my buddies backyard, not sure how he acquired it, though... :D

I took one to school just about every day, too. Never got in trouble though. And this was in cali.... I got lucky, I'd say. A few of my English teachers were major hoplophobes.
 
I was cutting duck tape off a hose attached to a spicket with a Buck 110. Of course I was holding the hose in my left hand and was trying to push the blade along the hose under the tape, of course towards my hand holding the hose. Well the knife cut through it and proceeded to go throu my wrist. It would have gone straight through, but it hit the bone and stopped. Could have been worse. But it was bad enough. I can still feel that blade hit the bone.
 
Cut towards myself while whittling..... twice. Now I have a scar on each of my index fingers. Idiot.
 
oh yeah, i also carried a really dull oldschool folder around for awhile... I did some contract work setting up lights and sound system for a church every sunday that met at a school auditorium... was cutting some tape off with my very dull knife, towards myself, had to jerk so hard to get it through it came out with some velocity and stabbed my other hand
 
Just some of my dumber knife injuries:

Tossing a knife up in the air and catching it repeatedly, untill I missed and it stuck completely through my foot.

Throwing knives at a tree, the tree decided to throw one back straight at my head, I put my arms up to block and the blade stuck in my wrist.

Trying out throwing my spiked tomahawk for the first time, I went for a hard overhand throw and caught myself in the back of the head with the fully sharpened spike.

Most recent and most expensive, screwing around with my Fallkniven Thor Bowie it cut my finger, slipped out of my hand and somehow landed on the back of my ankle. Chopped in deep, went right through my achilles tendon like it was butter. :eek:

Still recovering from that last one, and so far my medical bills from it are over $20,000 ...luckily my insurance isn't bad, but I still get teased about how much that knife REALY cost me! :o

-Oh, and I always used to carry blades to school. When in Oklahoma I had many knives taken away from me, but it wasn't a huge deal since I wasn't threatening anyone with them, and the principal would usually just shake his head at me, put the knife in his desk and give it back to me at the end of the week! :D ....oh how times have changed!
 
Two stupidest things so far:
1. Cut my left index finger right above the first knuckle. My brand new (at the time) izula did the deed. It was deep but not to the bone.
2. Spydie dropped a T-mag without a good grip. Knife lands tip-down, hits the floor and busts a little tip off the end.
