Will I ever stop cutting myself ?!
on: June 15, 2014, 09:39:01 AM
Jesus, guys, how do you survive having so many shiny, pointy, sharp thingies around you???

Hardly a week goes by for me without me cutting myself SOMEHOW on someTHING.  :facepalm:

God bless the band aids, lol.

What "inspired" me to open that topic is yet another bloody "bite" the Juice driver gave me  :twak:

Ugh don't get me started on the Juice bite :) Just as it heals up I open the flatheads a little less vigilantly and BAM... it gets me again.

The younger you start, the sooner you learn. I cut myself plenty as a kid, and learned the hard way to be careful around sharp edges. I have not been hurt for years by a tool. The last time if I remember correct was a Skeletool pinch, when I first had it. That hurt so much I will remember forever. I did get a paper cut a few months ago  :facepalm:, and I had a close close call when I snap closed my Pioneer's awl. It only took a slice of top skin.   :D

This is part of why I dislike the Juice. But no, you'll never stop nicking yourself. It happens- knives have only one way to communicate.

I shaved a top layer of skin off my pinky finger when first getting and playing with my Doug Ritter Griptilian yesterday.

I was holding the knife straight up and pulled the axis lock back. Didn't expect gravity to take hold so quickly, as the blade just fell right into the closed position and I didn't have my pinky cleared from the path.

Thankfully, only a top layer. No blood... this time.  :rofl:

I cut my knuckle badly back in 2005.... I have a scar from that. I tried to repair another knife, cutting/doing something/ on a plastic handle with a kitchen knife that was too blunt.. so the very kitchen knife, being too blunt, slid on the plastic and landed right on my knuckle... yeah.  :facepalm: I wish it had at least been a Leatherman or whatever other brand. *sigh* Not some stupid unknown kitchen knife :D :D

It seems to be a tradition with me that a new Spyderco will bite me within 15 minutes of getting it out of the package.....

I rarely cut myself with my own tool or knife.

you got to be careful.

I used to be a firearm safety instructor and I treat my knife with the same respect I would give a firearm


my knives are razor sharp. A cut would be a serous injury . I use extreme care.

I rarely cut myself these days, it seems.  I believe avoiding it starts with proper tool selection and maintenance, followed by a couple of decades of experience carrying and using knives (and learning from each mistake during that time), and finally a commitment to being careful and keeping safety first each and every time a tool is used.

I cut myself occasionally as well.  The last time was while shaping a small block of wood for my daughter's school project of making a car for a race.  I actually cut myself twice during that task (using the Supertool):  Once with the serrated blade while not even using it, just trying to deploy it I think.  The other was using the saw and it came out of the cutting path and hit my thumb.  Quite a while back, I took a nice slice on the side of my index finger while closing the awl on my Mechaneer.  I didn't think my finger was close enough to get hit, but I was wrong...

I mostly cut myself while preparing food.
I think I should learn this master-chef-ninja-sushi-space-pirat holding technique you always see on TV.
But everytime I try, I have onions flying all over the table or a cramp in my left hand in a matter of seconds. Or I allign my 4 fingers properly and promptly cut into the top of my thumb (That's what happend last time).

The meanest cut with a SAK was the saw folding on my childish hands as I was maybe 8. I had two rows of tiny pricks that burned like hell.

 :rofl:

Watch some of the SAW movies and you'll need no pic..... Guess what I did with it today? I was dealing with a few scratch-type lottery tickets and decided to do it with this tool........... with the back of it. However, lots of that scratched... powdery thing accumulated on it, so I decided to clean it, by sliding my fingers on that tool/blade/thing... and ended up not sliding, but slicing. But who cares. I have band aids.  :facepalm: Still 46 to go.
