JEEZ! Be careful!
My worst wasn't nearly as bad as most of what I've read here, I was laying on the couch sharpening my Gerber MKI and my son walked over (he was about 2 at the time, 18 now) and reached for the pretty shiny thing that Daddy was playing with. I jerked it out of his reach saying, "No son! You'll cut yourself!"
That's when I felt the warm trickle down my forearm. Seems in my haste to protect The Kid, I'd opened up the pad of my thumb quite nicely. Ran it under cold water til it quit bleeding and then packed it with flour.
Good clean flour is a perfect coagulant. Leaves a nice "weld" over the wound and very comfortable. Also, doesn't leave a scar. The scar is not even visible when finger printed.
(For CCW wise guys!)

I cut it, and I cut it, and it's STILL too short!
