What's your most bloodthirsty Spydie? I've cut myself more often with the Dodo than with all the others put together! That's one aggressive little bird!

The reversed S SE Meerkat. I can't remember how many scars I got from it. Till that day when I f...ed the blade for good <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

My navigator loves to cut me. I tried to cut off a hangnail yesterday and bled for about ten minutes. A few weeks ago, I was trying to cut a tag off a new pair of pants, and cut myself pretty good. Never have cut myself with my delica, though.

Far and away, the Kiwi. About every 4th time I close it, I seem to whack a finger. I think it's too small in the mid-section for good grip, sharp as **** and I'm a slow learner!

I'd say the SE Cricket... between my cuts and everyone who uses it, it probably has been bathed a few times in blood.

For my own cuts, it's a tie between the ss 'fly and my CE millie... 'fly has done the most in number, but the millie takes the most blood.

The most blood goes to my origonal civilian about 10 years ago. I was shutting it one-handed and it went right to the bone on my index finger. still have the scar! As for most often my cheap-a$$ kitchen knives get me all the time.

Gotta second the Dodo or Miliie. Got a nasty cut from each of these and can't decide which one could have been worse. Take Care<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Unfortunately, it was a Benchmade Pinnacle for me.. *muhahahahahaa!* Sorry, I can't help it, my <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s are so well-behaved.. They are the safest knives around.. Ever!

Meerkat,it gets me every other time I handle it.

I don't get bit often, but my Native is my most bloodthirsty Spydie. I put the tip about 1/2-inch into the palm underneath my thumb.

Talk about hurtin'!! It severed some of the muscles that control my thumb, which took a few months to heal.

As for my Dodo...it bit me during the first minute that I ever held it; it got me on closing, like a little, free-swinging gillutine.

Benchmades attack me more than <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>'s, so I've been trading them away.

Man, you guys are going to have to be more careful with your <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Handle them with care and they will take care of you.

I've never had much, problems cutting myself with our <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>cos. I think I cut myself slighly with our Vesuvius. <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>cos are just so user friendly. I will say that the worse cuts I have inflicted myself with have all come from 8A steel! A couple of times I should have gotten stitches! RKBA!

Every new knife of any manufacturer has cut me, usually within the first month, then they leave me alone from then on.

The Persian, my latest aquisition got me slightly a few weeks ago, the military I used to carry when I trusted linerlocks got me a few times and then left me alone.

Now that I think of it, my Chinook 2 hasn't bit me yet, and it can't now until Sept as it is sitting in Arizona along with a firearm waiting for my arrival.

Is this thread old already? I don't exactly know why but I like to read this kind of stuff, probably because I feel I'm not the only one to get bitten from time to time. I never had any cut qith my Spydercos so far. Some people will say that it's because I don't try hard enough but I do as a matter of fact. My worst cut was when I was 10 with my first knife, a SAK. Nearly lost the tip of my left thumb that day. The bone stopped the blade from going any further. Apart from that, nothing extraordinary, it probably taught the importance of safety.

Well not most often but I just aquired a Ronin and it gets the award for biggest wound inflicted. It went about halfway through, good for six stiches. Happened this past Friday night.

SE Endura. Those SE's bite hard, fast, and numerous times at once.

talonturbo - careful with that Ronin!

My Gunting has gotten me the most. Nothing serious though.

The Cricket got me again on Friday night too... I'll post a pic when I get home to my digi... No stitches, just took sucking on it to clot, deep but clean(freshly sharpened before supper that day).

lets just say serrated linerlocks are not meant to be opened left handed while drinking.
