Thanks, I think. A newb here, learning from all of you. I've been playing with my new BM Nimravus, Vic Trekker, SOG Flash I, and Leatherman Charge Ti. And, too, my new Spyderco sharpener. I have sliced the tips of both thumbs, and Sunday night needed 5 stitches in the web of my right hand when foolishly I was trying to pry off the Leatherman metal tag from the sheath using my Nimravus. (I guess I can't blame you all for the beer I was drinking as I was doing that.) At least I got the ER doc to teach me suturing. The wife thinks I'm crazy, and I still have a Fallkniven S1 and a BM 710HSSR in route (from premiumknives.com). In all seriousness, I have learned a lot from you all (even if it doesn't show), and look forward to your "company" from here on out.

Well, I guess you learned a painful lesson about the old saying "use the right tool for the job"... 
Hmmm, I think you're doing something wrong.
I've been collecting and using knives for almost 30 years. Yeah, I've cut myself a few times (last time, about 15 years ago), but I've never needed stitches.
but I hope you got it done after all the bloodshed.
Best Wishes,
Bob

I'm not going to bother asking why you were doing that, or why you thought a knife was the proper tool to use...
but I hope you got it done after all the bloodshed.Best Wishes,

Heh....Sounds like if you're going to continue this hobby a heavy investment in superglue, popsicle sticks, and duct tape may be in order....

Welcome..... I'm not much more than a NEWB myself. I myself was a little "drunk" after the game on Sunday and managed to cut my left thumb with my Opinel # 8 cutting some jalapeños. Some new Skin did the trick though. Knives and beer....... good combo huh.
