personal record

[gwb72tii]

of self inflicted cuts
relatively minor compared to some, but for me a record, 6 stitches and nearly a severed finger tip
reverse side of finger mirrors this shot, approximately 75% cut thru

and this baby is the culprit
my son is a chef, and this is one fine knife, great quality
its so freaking sharp if you look at it, it will cut you
dropped the damn thing when i was just getting ready to carve up 5 bbq'd flank steaks. when it dropped i tried to get out of the way and didn't quite make it. didn't even know i was cut until blood started going everywhere.

never try to catch a falling knife

12 or 13 stitches across the top of my Mellon, when I looked down at the wrong time in the middle of a miss communication, while my boss was tossing a 14 inch pipe wrench down to me.

I was fixing a forced sewer main inline 12" valve, and well got it right on top of my head,(made the same noise it make when you drop one on pavement, didnt even see stars) it knocked me down to one knee and I just picked it up and went on with what I was doing till blood was running down my face. Had no idea it cut me, I just thought I was gonna have a goose egg, Yeah Yeah I know shoulda had my hard hat on

I did my finger damn near just like that when I was about 16 or so.

Pro tip, when adjusting the needle valve on your 1hp model airplane engine turning 21,000 RPM pay attention to what you are doing with your other hand.

That knife is no joke.

Restaurant I used to work in, the steak guys all used those or something very, very similar. It's literally like letting a hot knife rest on butter when you're cutting with one of those. Surprised you didn't lose the whole finger, man... You know it's sharp when it cuts you so easily your brain doesn't even recognize what the fuck just happend until you see the blood.

Playing chicken on bikes with my brother when I was about six. I'm a lefty and he's a righty so we turned into each other, him being twelve at the time, he won. Ended up with a total of ~20 stitches on my chin/eyebrow.

first time for me getting stitches, i was like 5. i was running, until i tripped and smashed my face on a rock flower bed surroundment. like 9 stiches there.

Second time, i was like 11 maybe and i was carving pumpkins. My hand slipped and went down the knife due to the pumpkin juice making my hands slippery. Cut through the muscle down to the bone on all 4 fingers on my right hand. i got 13 stiches.




OP: just try not to use it much, and keep it aired out and it should be fine. :up:

This thread is now about those times you have gotten stitches.

First time, I was in another country, where for 2 liter sodas they use glass bottles instead of plastic. I was 7 and had two bottles in my hands. I was too short to put them on the kitchen counter but still tried to. They slipped out of my hands shattering on the floor and exploding into my ankles. I got 3 sets of stitches on my inside of ankles.

Another one was when I was 14 or so. I was frantically moving my arm everywhere under the couch without looking trying to find something by feel and caught a nail sticking out of the couch underneath. I didn't feel it untill I saw blood. yay. 4 stitches there.

Most recent was a bmx accident. I was going fakie(backwards) and right when I decide to turn back straight, I hit a parking curb in where I hit my shins in the pedals pretty hard opening myself up.

wow you are lucky you didn't loose that chunk of body. That's gonna be one gnarly scar.
recover soon.
