Has anyone...

[The Survivor]

Has anyone ever accidentally slit themselves with their knife, or other edged tool. Just so I dont feel alone.

My Dad once drove a litter-spike through his foot, clearing up after a big barbecue party when he'd had more than enough to be going on with, if that's any help.

Yeh sliced my leg open with a Babcock Laplander. Luckily it was on the top of my leg and not near my major arteries.

My wife did it one year at the moot during a basket weaving class while she was trying to split the willow (inch and half slash down the length of her finger), 3hrs in A&E, paper stiches and bandaged up for a week or so - she was not happy!!!!

Have sliced my thumb a few times at work, Usually with a Stanley knife.

 

[Mesquite]

Many a time...

 

[kristophish]

yep sliced the end of my finger off before with a Stanley knife at work, diagonally thru the nail just missing the bone
(that one was fun) and countless other cut, slices and gashes.

your not alone kris

 

[redandshane]

Yep always the fingers, mostly sheer stupidity on my part
Nothing serious though

I suspect that the index finger of the non-dominant hand is only there to be abused. A part from a multitude of nicks with cheap craft knives: Pushed a bow saw into it, just below the knuckle: hit it with billhook twice, on consecutive days and in exactly the same place; stuck the point of my Mora carver into it three times in the same week.

Haven't had nearly so many injuries in recent years. And then, a week ago pushed the blade of my Mora 163 across the outside of my wrist twice within a few minutes.

Least likely event that springs to mind was someone on a spoon carving day I was on. She managed to stab herself in the backside while carving. Don't ask me, I can't work it out.

Cheers,
Leif

Are you quite sure it was a spoon she was carving?

I think everyone who has used a knife is likely to have cut themselves as some point or other.

I cut the tendons in my left thumb with a fallkniven F1 about 4 years ago.

I have a scar on my left ring finger knuckle where I shut my first ever penknife on it. I then avoided cutting myself for about 30 years then I cut through the side of my left index finger down to the bone with the serrated edge of my fishing knife, severing the nerve and I now have a permanently numb section. I also have a nice neat silver scar on the back of my left hand where I misjudged a billhook swipe, no permanent damage from that one, although the underpants may not agree with me on that.

 

[BearInTheWoods]

I wonder how many injuries have been caused by penknives snapping shut since some dingy old Magistrate decided that lock-knives are not folding knives.

 

[copper_head]

More times than I care to remember! More at work than out and about though....

None that needed hospital treatment
And none for a good while now.....

I put an axe through my thumb last year, I had been chiselling out a kuksa using the back of the axe as a hammer, put it down to light a cig, picked it up the wrong way. I swung at the chisel, missed and severed a tendon.

I slipped with a spoon knife once too and took a lovely scoop of flesh out of my finger, very shallow, little blood but stung like a swine.

touched by nature

 

[Teepee]

Plenty, but nothing thats needed stitches (yet).

Stuck a garden fork through my foot at age 3, a mortice chisel in my hand at age 6, put my finger in an electric planer 2 years ago.

 

[mountainm]

It's a right of passage.

 

[Hammock Hamster]

Many, many times... most recently at the Sussex meet last week putting my knife back in its sheath of all things!

 

[Pignut]

Simple answer for this.... yes
