Worst blade accidents?

[Gaston444]

I think it is. Blunt blades with speed can cut.

I doubt that it is, because wrist bones and tendons are quite hard to cut without a rigid bracing position, or a stop surface to cut against: Even with a perfectly sharp blade, without a rigid backing stop, the hand would never have come off cleanly without at least a strip of flesh hanging on to it...

Even then, a hugely powerful, full swing blow would have been required.

They also added a little of obvious CGI blood spurting, which would only have been visible as dripping straight down...

They take their notion of what would visually happen from the "Walking Dead"...

And no, blunt will not cut flesh, not even close...

After seeing all these injuries, all my cuts were a blessing compared to what could have happened.

I got this one a couple days ago then cut it even deeper tonight in the exact same spot but it really is childs play compared to what happened to some of you .

I was carving a stick with an Izula and slipped, felt the sting, and applied pressure, and started walking back to the car for a band-aid when I felt the two sides sliding back and forth. The worst part was the stitches, I'm almost completely immune to Lytocaine so felt all 20 stitches (3 internal, meat to meat, and 17 external

Dude. I have a high tolerance for pain..but a slash like that..
I'm glad you are healed now 👍

I slipped in the mud while batoning and hit the top of my hand and severed a tendon. I was sewn up, a week later had to have surgery. And then 9 months of rehab. It took me 4 months just to be able to open and close my hand. It is very important to always wear tactical gloves that have Kevlar padding over the top of your knuckles. it doesn't take much to sever a tendon. It'll put you out of Commission!

This is pretty scary thread. I don't know if I want to chop anything for a while. I can see how a miss of the log can take out a limb. Drinking and chopping is also probably not a good idea.

I have some pretty nice granfor bruks axes And I don't take them to the woods anymore especially backpacking. me and my buddies we get to drinking, all it takes is a misfire on a dry piece of wood you can clobber yourself right in the shin or the ankle like buddy did. the next thing you know you done lost a foot or severely cut the hell out of yourself. I'm a big promoter of large choppers vs an axe... there a lot safer than an axe. You just got to be safe know what the hell you're doing. Always were top paded gloves.

Cut to the bone, 2 tendons and quite a lot of blood lost .... after 6 weeks without moving and 5 weeks of treatment I was able to keep my thumb

Nice cut for a 3" blade

I've been terribly fortunate as MANY of my small cuts could have been very serious ones.
There but for the grace of (whatever) go I.

I HAVE witnessed plenty of situations where things DID go bad though:
A. My father put his index finger into the path of a carbon fiber propeller (11") spinning at 10,000+ RPM. Ouch.
B. My buddy was limbing a felled tree and the chainsaw kicked and dropped into his shin. He didn't realize the injury until his sock felt squishy.
C. A counter worker in the deli I cooked at was slicing an end-chunk of cheese without a guard. The cheese stopped short of the blade, but 4 fingers did not...
D. Another deli worker was sharpening a rotating blade with the stones that are attached to the slicer. She flipped the protective cover back over the stones and "karate chopped" the spinning blade. It opened her up from the beginning of her pinkie finger all the way to the wrist.
E. A stock guy reached down into a narrow box to get an item. The industrial staple that was still in the flap of the box acted as a razor blade and opened him from wrist to elbow.

Maybe I'm bad luck?

Ahhh that last one sounds painful

I can't handle people hurt. I can react and handle a situation to get myself or someone to help. But once things slow down and I see how bad it is it catches up to me quickly. Though I've never been around anything super traumatic where you have to put things back together before moving and probably wouldn't do well if I can't just wrap it and get moving. My wife is a nurse/scrub in a level 1 OR and sees some crazy stuff on a daily basis and not sure how she does it.

My worst with a knife was a few months ago. I was cooking dinner and using a 8" chef knife and it was on the counter and apparently the handle was resting on something and while my head was turned something shifted causing it to slide and fall off the counter. I heard a noise but didn't have time to react and felt it hit my foot. Before I looked down I knew I was going to the hospital. It hit edge down at the base of my big toe and went straight to the bone. I reached down and just pinched it closed and yelled to my wife that I just tried to cut my toe off. She thought I was joking for some reason but came in. Any movement hurt and felt very strange so I had her get some clean towels and tie it tightly as I have 2 blood diseases and don't stop bleeding real great. I couldn't put any weight on my foot because it causes your foot to tense up in preparation of supporting body weight and had to hop to get around. I told every person that I saw set the ER that I was worried about the tendon and the Dr didn't try to look at it or even irrigate it and just sewed it up. Ridiculous that someone with no medical training has more common sense than an ER Dr. After 2 weeks when it was healed enough I could then tell the tendon was severed and my big toe was already starting to hang down when walking barefoot and could easily get it stubbed or bent down hard. Had surgery and just now able to put weight on it and walk. The joint is so stiff I don't even know if the surgery held yet because I wasn't able to baby it as much as Dr told me to and also deal with life.

I also cut my arm open from just above my wrist to half way between elbow and shoulder when I went thru an old plate glass window that broke into long sharp shards instead of crumbling like modern safety glass. But that wasn't a knife.

I had the same issue. My doctor said i should have hit a tendon. I had to repeatedly ask him to check somehow. They ended up cutting 6 inched up my leg to find a tendon that had shot up there after i cut it. They fixed the tendon but he never admited he was wrong

worst for me was when i am still 15 years old i think. i try to cut a rope using a box cutter and it was a dull box cutter, and I was not smart/careful enough so when the rope finally get cut, the box cutter stab my left arm. lesson learned...

I work with a guy who grew up in South Central Los Angeles and got into a fight with someone at a party years ago. He ended up knocking the guy out cold but after that, noticed their was a 12" slice on his right arm. He was so pumped up with adrenalin..he didn't feel the cut until he saw it. He took a picture. Top of his arm looked like two large fillets.

A few years back I forgot my stab vest for work and in a fight thought I'd been punched a couple times but didn't realise until a few minutes later whilst trying to load a badly beaten intoxicated male into the back of a police van that I was loosing a lot of blood from two screw driver wounds to my stomach and chest that were very deep luckily no serious damage and the guy is still serving his sentence for that and then jamming a police officer into the steel custody suite door head first needless to say he was a very nice man....

Also when I was a teenager my victorinox folded on my thumb and the blade was fully embbedded and had to pry it open and when I did the artery went and literally shot blood all over my mum's cream walls and carpet for which I had to clean and repaint then whilst sitting in my GCSE maths exam I knocked the wound and the artery bled again was a bloody (literally) nightmare

I think I'm going to upgrade to a gold membership. Huge sale upcoming.


Not a blade but from a piece of corrugated aluminum panel. Never felt a thing, even the stiches.

Anybody else feels hungry for blood sausages or juicy leg of lamb?

But seriously, my mom cut her index finger to the bone with my sister-in-laws kitchen knife, what she told me it was "very sharp" knife. It required ER visit for stiches. She still feels lack of full mobility with it. Of course what my mom or sister-in-law would consider scary sharp is dull to me. The would was jugged not straight clean cut. At least when I cut myself my wounds are clean straight cuts that are easier to patch up and heal faster. Except for one time I managed to stab my left ankle .25" deep with BM Stryker with factory edge, it could have been much worst if I have stabbed myself with it after I have reground it into sleek razor zero ground convex 15 Degrees. The fact that it had chisel ground edge with ridges that created drag prevented it from sinking much deeper as it would do so now.
