Ok. I have a knife injury story. Last year a lady I work with at my day job asked me to make her a basic chef knife. So $20 worth of steel, mosaic pins, and walnut burl later I had her a knife. I sharpen all of my blades with a Lansky. The knife popped out of the vise right before I was finished and scratched the handle. So I taped up the blade and refinished the handle. I took the tape off the blade and decided it probably wasn't quite molecule splitting sharp.
Back into the Lansky it goes. But wait, the 3 year old needed a bath. I decided I could sharpen the blade while she played and the 6 month old crawled around the tub. And then the knife pops free from the Lansky again (disclaimer-Lanskys are great but my blade design didn't provide the best fit). Anyways, the 10 inch chef knife fell point first into the top of my right foot. It went in about 1/2 inch. I think I may have said,"By golly that hurt" because the 3 year old looked at me with astoundment at such colorful language. The 6 month old just grinned. I snatched my right foot back in pain. This caused the knife to go airborne once again. After a rotation or two it planted itself into the top of my left foot. In the span of 2-3 seconds I had managed to stab both feet. Our wet bathroom tile made the blood look much worse. I picked up the baby to keep him away from the knife and the blood while calling for my wife. She comes in seeing me holding the baby covered in blood, the tile covered, and a bloody knife laying on the floor. She only shakes her head and says "You should've worn shoes," as she takes the baby and cleans him off. A bottle of superglue and a few bandages later my feet finally heal.
Just trying to get my CASE cv Stockman to patina a bit, well,blood helps.. .I eat a lot of fruit (get cut preparing that too)and take 500mg Vit C a day and my wounds heal very fast and cleany, maybe there's a connexion?
