The pen may be mightier than the sword, but the knife is cooler than the pen.

Re: Being bitten by knives
There are facts in life that are not pleasant. One big fact that all knife enthusiasts need to learn right away. If you work on, use or play with knives as most of us forum members do you will eventually get bit. Just the other day I was putting a final edge on a boning knife using my Spyderco 204 Sharpmaker. Don't even ask me how it happened because it happened so fast I don't know what went wrong. But I got distracted by someone in the room and the next thing I know is that the boning knife slipped off the edge of the stone and it came down on my left index finger.
We all must keep in mind that these are potentially dangerous tools and they need to be used with caution and respect. You can't be afraid of knives but you sure better respect them.

Re: Being bitten by knives
I've had some bites over the years. One memorable one was a Marbles fixed blade that dropped through a complete revolution and came down while I was sitting into my upper leg (quads) area stabbing into my leg while making a perfect movie sound effect *scrunch* noise. The tip just entered the bone like a dart in a board and just sat there until I pulled it out. It looked like it had been stabbed into my leg on purpose. It didn't really need any care from a doctor so I took care of it myself.
The worst I ever had including two work related stabbings was the one from the lid of a cat food can. It actually scraped the meat away from the bone. That one needed several stitches including some inside as well as outside to close it. It took longer to heal because it was so ragged and not like a clean sharp knife cut or slice. Another bad one came from a guillotine like chopping off of the very tip ( including part of the fingernail) of one of my fingers. That one was the most painful but that wasn't actually a knife.

Re: Being bitten by knives
I just saw a video where the Siren bit Eric. It happens to almost all of us, and I never would wish it on anyone, but I must admit, it was kind of funny.
Sorry, Eric.

I hate to admit this, but.....just got a new Chaparral LW a week or so ago and during looking/playing/mindlessly flipping I got bit. Twice.

I accidentally cut into the side of my finger (and fingernail) a bit while fiddling with my Sebenza 21.
Nothing deep or serious, just annoying.

Sorry, not sure where it was. It was a video with Eric showing new releases.

Re: Being bitten by knives
I've had more than I care to admit, but the worst was actually from the saw on my Leatherman Rebar. I was cutting some small branches and the saw slipped and cut into the knuckle of the hand holding the branch still. It went straight to the bone. While it really didn't hurt, I think my son was ready to pass out. Somehow he got me to the local emergency room where 4 stitches did the trick.
