Probably my para-military 2 since I play with it the most. I've got 2 band-aids on one hand and one on the other from last week. :D

I've cut myself with my ZDP 189 DF when removing a zip tie. Was a minor cut and was my fault.

Regards.

My old DLC Para 2. That knife had it out for me.

Yojimbo 1 got me REALLY good one time. I had left it clipped to my pajamas pocket when I took them off (yes, I have been known to carry a spydie in my pajamas), and when I put them back on the Yojimbo had opened ever so slightly and cut my ankle pretty bad. The cut wasn't wide at all, but about 0.375" deep. I was bleeding so badly that I had to tourniquet my leg and lay in the bathtub. The bleeding finally slowed and I went to our local after-hours to get stitched up.

Lessons learned that day:
- Never leave your knife clipped to your pants.
- The Yojimbo is a bad mother!
- I'd been doing a pretty good job maintaining the tip when using the sharp maker, keep up the good work!

My Spyderco ROCK SALT has never bit me. I am too careful with it. Could do some serious damage.

The Tenacious for me. I have it laser sharp and I play with it alot. One example was when I practiced left hand use for the heck of it and it bit me while closing.

The only Spyderco that has ever bit me was my Stretch when I closed it on the tip of the little finger on my right hand - fortunately it was a very minor cut but since then I have treated all Spydercos with a tremendous amount of respect and never play with them when I'm tired or when I can't see what I'm doing.

In a way it's almost a good thing to get cut early on in your 'knife career' - it's a bit like that minor accident you have soon after starting to drive that makes you realise it's not a game any more!

I was bitten by a mule.

I was putting the finishing touches on the scales for the Elmax Mule. The blade was clamped in the vice, edge up, and the edge was not taped anymore... Bad move. I turned around to get some sandpaper, and when I turned back my hand zipped across the edge.

4 stitches in my right hand in the fleshy part below my pinky.

Freshly sharpened Chaparral. The only time I've seriously cut myself was 100 feet up a cell tower we had just built. I was installing the anti-fall device on the climbing face (Braided steel cable for a cable slider in this instance). I was cutting a piece of tape, and the load slipped a little bit. I didn't feel anything, and didn't think my knife went anywhere near my left hand. As it was, it sliced through the left thumb of my thick leather welding gloves, through the cotton gloves I had underneath (Winter), and right to the bone. I noticed a few minutes later when my hand felt sticky...looked down and saw a 1" slice on the back of the thumb of my glove and knew immediately what had happened. I was the one with the u-bolts, and my co-worker was holding the anti-fall device in place, so I spent a few minutes putting the bolts on. Then I started to climb down, though fortunately 100 feet doesn't take long to climb down, especially with a newly installed anti-fall cable (No double clipping with lanyards). By the time I was at the bottom all the fingers and half the palm were filled with blood, and it was squishing as I climbed down...felt like a running shoe does when you get them wet. I probably could have used 3 or 4 stitches, but made do with tape.

See...what they don't tell you about...is the secret proprietary "Nano Steel Robots" that are added into every batch of Spyderco Knives....to give it that extra "oomph"...but those little buggers are HUNGRY and like to BITE

(Kidding!)

My new Matriarch 2. While visiting Spyderco / Sal in Golden at Spyder HQ. Was seeing how the Emerson Wave feature "worked" drawing from right side pants pocket and the tip of the blade bit my index finger just behind the first joint. Yes, immediate request for a Bandaid! When I shared with Sal what I'd done to myself and offered I needed to buy THAT knife off the showroom shelf at the counter - he kinda smiled and gifted it to me. As Al Mar once said to me "The one you cut yourself with is the one you ought to buy!" :) Love that little sucker :spyder: "Take me home with you, dad!" :eek:

[NoFair]

Lil'Temp, not paying attention when closing it.. Minor love bite, no stitches just some superglue..

[JNewell]

The Tenacious for me. I have it laser sharp and I play with it alot. One example was when I practiced left hand use for the heck of it and it bit me while closing.

There is a solution for that! :) :spyder:

[Officer Gigglez]

I got my thumb down to the bone with my Tenacious. Was cutting something and someone bumped into my knife arm from behind and the knife came free of the cut and into my left thumb. This was just prior to class, and I had to sit through class with a blood soaked paper towel. I dripped a bit and the professor didn't appreciate me bleeding all over his class room. He dismissed me early. Have a nice scar across the top of my thumb just behind the nail to show for it now.

[Officer Gigglez]

Am I the only one who finds Spyderco's trainers overpriced? They're just for practice, so they don't need to be made of the finest materials, and thus, the price shouldn't be as much as the knife it mimicks.

[AndrewDanielson]

I stabbed myslef in the hand with a military last night. That pup has a wicked tip!

[Leon]

Manbug..lol
closed it on my middle finger last night..**** little thing is no jokes!

[renetijerina]

Manix2 Lightwaight (bit me while i was cleaning it) and Grasshopper ("someone left it opened in my drawer)

[willc]

Never been bit by any of my Spyderco knives but when I was opening my Baliyo the plastic container it came in got me good enough to draw blood.
