I was cutting some apples with my CV Trapper, and I slipped and cut my finger deep enough to need four stitches and i lost feeling on that side of my finger. I was wondering what's your best , or worst if your not sick like me, cut was and if your weird like me, post some pics.
 
Sliced my hand with an Emerson CQC-8 while showing a cardboard box who the boss was. Like most, or perhaps all such accidents, it was just plain stupid.

In Culinary school the person next to me sneezed and scared the ##%# outta me and i dropped my chef knife and it went through my shoe and went all the way into the rubber in my shoe....yeah that was fun..
 
I have yet to have anything REALLY nasty happen but I'd say I've cut myself on almost every knife I own, some bad, some not so bad, but I don't really consider a knife mine until it's bit me.

If I were to have to pick the worst it would have to be when I took the end of my thumb off with a Shun Premier Chef's knife while dicing an onion...that one wasn't fun.
 
No gruesome pic here, and it wasn't a knife but a wood chisel. I was carving without my glove and within about 15 seconds had buried the chisel into the bone of my thumb. Luckily it was only 3 or 4 stitches, but I still can't feel the side of my thumb years later
 
Was working in a commercial kitchen. Very busy (in the weeds) and went to quick cut a sandwich - left hand on top, boning knife in the right. Misjudged my clearance and drove the boning knife straight through my left palm. Needless to say the food was ruined along with my left palm.

What a MESS!
 
I can not chop wood (re attached pec tendon never healed properly) with my dominant hand so I have to use my left. Busting up some old 2X4's with my RMJ shrike the spike stuck in and my hand moved forward into the beard. Not very long but man that beard can penetrate deep!

Cutting up some limes, I cut straight into my thumb hitting the nail. Lucky the knife was sharp because I didn't feel it until I felt the sting from the lime juice.
 
Here's my best one..,

I was splitting up some wood for some kindling to get a fire going, and my buddy came over and started talking to me. I took my eyes off the wood/knife for just a second, and my BK-9 reminded me what happens when you don't pay attention while using a knife. Cut me all the way to the bone.., luckily I didn't loose a finger, or even catch a tendon. A trip to the ER, and a few stitches later, and I was back to splitting wood.

There's also a scar right in front of the cut, but you can't see it due to the swelling.., that one is from a Kershaw Leek vs. zip tie mishap
 
zcd, I'm getting my stitches out tomorrow and i keep getting told that peripheral nerves can grow back, so there's hope for us yet.
clearytja. I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you keep that other hand in commision.
 
Seven stitches from a freshly sharpened AFCK that I was using to carve up some tinder to get a fire started. Was popping off splines of cedar from a plank by popping the knife away from me, and then for some inexplicable reason (in a hurry) popped it towards myself just once. The tip of the knife opened up my index finger knuckle down to the white bone. Ended up with a thick scar, so my left index knuckle now looks like Mike Tyson's :)
 
I was using my grandfather's gerber multi-tool and I was using the saw blade whittle. The saw blade slipped and I cut all the skin on my knuckle off, bone was exposed and everything.

Not trying to sound like a bad ass but I think because there was so much adrenaline pumping through my body from the fright of the cut, I didn't feel a thing and casually walked into the house with a mangled hand, my grandmother flipped, brought me to the hospital,they didn't do much because the gash was to big to stitch close, they disinfected it with alcohol which hurt like a bitch.
 
I've had a couple bad ones, but the worst was actually a wood carving tool. Small piece of wood held in left hand, extremely sharp tool in the other, hit a knot & tried to force through it (I was young). Knot gave out and the tool jammed right into the joint of my thumb, all the way to bone.
That was the first time I ever got sick to my stomach from an injury. My parents were out of town and the family friend watching me didn't take to me to the doctor. By the time my folks took me a day or two later, Doc said it was too late to stitch, so I had to deal with those crappy butterfly bandaids and a metal finger brace thing...this was less than a week before football started too.
