I just cut myself...

[neuronic]

...on my Spydiechef... closed :confused:

[Pelagic]

Explain??? Hopefully it's not bad!

[neuronic]

No idea... was watching something on YT, fidgeting... had to click on something so I held it in my left hand, closed... then I noticed it hurts, looked, et voila... blood - small clean cut on my left index finger.

Not really bad, stopped bleedin after 1 min... but it was closed :confused:

Is the cutting edge showing through the cut out for the lock tab, as on some other models?

[JonLeBlanc]

Bizarre, I don't doubt that it's at all possible to cut oneself on a Spyderco (I mean they ARE matter separators), I've just never been cut...yet lol. Is there anything about the Spydiechef that could be dangerous when closed? e.g. a weak detent that might allow the blade to swing open ever so slightly, allowing a bit of edge to be exposed? Or something like that? I'm interested to hear Neuronic !

[ugaarguy]

On the Spydiechef, when closed, the edge at the heel of the blade is very close to the spine of the handle.

This is exactly why you don't fidget around...their not toys folks!! Glad it's nothing serious though.

fidgeting

Next you should try running with scissors. :D

Like I said, I didn't cut myself while fidgeting, I cut myself while holding the closed knife...

Just ckecked. When I run my finger along the back of the knife a little part gets between the scales and I can feel the edge, right behind the stop pin. If I apply some pressure I'm gonna cut myself...

Now that I think of it I do remember that some folks were stating exactly that problem (didn't the Shabaz, too? Have to check that...), but I would not have expected it to become a real thing for me...

Still don't consider it borderline dangerous, but here I am with a still open cut from a closed knife... :rolleyes:

Been there, done that... it's overhyped :p

Very one sided

We need to hear the knife’s side of the story. :rolleyes:

When the Ikuchi was released there was a minor dust-up concerning the tip either standing a bit proud of the liners (very rare) or close enough to cut a finger passing over it and the liners. On my example, the tip was not proud, but close, by design I think. I could run my finger over the liners and tip normally without problem but if I pressed down enough flesh was pushed into the liners gap to contact the point. Perhaps this relates to your issue.

That would give me a good excuse to sharpen it down a bit.
