For me its my right pinky finger at top digit. It is because I close a newer knife and my pinky is in the blade channel as it closes. I seem to forget the finger versus my first 2 fingers as i close the folding knife's blade.

Pictures with blood as example allowed!
 
Both thumb and index fingers, why I don't know but when i cut them they really get cut bad :*(
 
My left index finger, mostly when I'm closing a mid-lock one-handed and I'm not paying attention.
 
Left Index and Left thumb

Cut em a total of 5 times, not massive bleeding but they healed quickly because all my knives are sharp.
 
Hard to tell. I only nick myself a couple of times each decade.

If you are cutting yourself frequently enough to be able to track which finger gets cut most frequently, then you should go back and study your technique because YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.
 
Left index finger, it's been cut so many time I have no feeling on the right side of it. I think it get cut so much because I'm right handed.

This cut has about 3 day of healing on it.

Middle finger. This is after 2 weeks. Had to run to the Med7 to get it glued since it would not stop bleeding. Not too bad though.

To borrow from another members signature with slight modification "If knives cut fingers, then pencils cause misspelled words" :D
 
Right thumb's nail more than anything. For liners and framelocks, sometimes I don't get the thumb out of the way in time. But even then, the blade catches on my nail which just leaves an interesting mark on my nail for a few weeks.
 
You have a serious issue if you keep cutting yourself to the point that you can actually see which finger or fingers get cut the most.

For me, I can't tell. I don't have this *issue.*
 
i get more "nicks" and "scuffs" than true slices... can't remember the last time i was actually cut deeply enough to require stitches or almost needing them...
 
Left index and surrounding knuckles. Its usually the hand holding the thing I'm cutting. Interesting thread idea.

I am in fact stupidly uncoordinated most of the time, now if I could just get over my fear of needles and get stitches my stupidity would be better concealed...
 
Mostly my thumb gets a bit of marking from rolling wire to strip insulation from it. No blood though, generally.
 
Right index and thumb...I cut them heaps and no idea why, prolly cause i'm left handed and stabilize what i'm cutting with my right.
 
If one finger gets cut in the same place over and over , something is wrong .:foot:
If it's a random cut where the cut could be wherever , that's called an accident.:eek:
If those cuts happen frequently , consider something other than knife ownership.;)
