How my first Spyderco, a Delica 4 Green ZDP-189 went from an $83 to$3000 knife
Heal fast please!!!
Hey Bud, :eek:
Sorry to hear about your misfortune, and accident! These things are so sharp,
that you cannot take anything for granted, and never let your guard down. Most
of us at one time or another, have gotten a "good one," but thats almost par for the
course, after all of the knife fondling that most Spydie owners do!!! Please be as
careful as you can, use lots of Neosporin, and don't get it wet for a while!!! Please
heal fast!!!
Sincerely,
Charlie

Having my share of cuts (25 years into knives), I'd second what orange said above.
Always project where the knife will go if it slips or through. Remove anything you don't want to be hit by the edge (prevent flesh cut or edge chipping hitting stapler).
Above doesn't apply to catching falling blade though.
I've got cut, stabbed (by myself) and also sliced catching falling blade. I don't know which one is better, healing a wound or sharpening out a bent/chippef blade :o
I wish you quick recovery!
PS: I just nicked my chin shaving. It always happen when I'm rushing and over confident. :eek:

Sorry to hear of the mishap and wish you a speedy recovery.
I must admit, the title made me think of happier tidings than what actually happened.

Spyder bytes are commonplace photoman. (not YOUR particular byte .. WOW)
I've had my share since 1992.
I keep my blades so highly polished and sharp, that I told the wife, NEVER touch MYSpydies ... I'll get an appropriate knife for you.
My last byte cost me a week off of work for nearly cutting the tip of my thumb off.
The most embarrassing part is that it wasn't even a Spyderco! or even mine!
I was testing the lock on my buddy's new BM Griptilian (which I have 3 of my own) got cocky closing it 1 handed and got bit severely.
It seems at times even the best of us just has to learn the hard way.
Speedy recovery to you - glad you missed the tendon and artery.

Nice slice dude! On my 12th birthday I had a cheapo liner-lock knife that my cousin gave me, and naturally, being 11, i wanted to stab stuff. so i wandered into my grandparents backyard and proceeded to stab a tree. Well upon trying to get the knife to go in deeper to the tree i leaned into it, and in a split second the knife (which was extremely sharp at that point) closed and cut into my finger and a little more than halfway through, knuckle and flesh it went in. Well seeing i didn't want to go to the ER i put a band-aid on it and ignored the pain as best i could. That's how my 12th birthday started.
