Chinese Folder and Kahz become blood siblings

[Kahz]

So, today I decide to sharpen my Chinese Folder and guess what? While wiping it after sharpening, it decides to cut right through the rag and THROUGH my left index finger. Well, doh! I held wrong anyways and, although I knew it was sharp as sin, I did not imagine it would cut through three layers of textile plus flesh like that. OUCH!!!! So, after tonight, my Chinese Folder and I became blood siblings. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>



I have a pending review for this BEAUTIFUL knife but, for now, I can say it's becoming as spoiled as my Mouse. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I LOVE THE FOLDER!



Now I have to heal, this cut was clean, so I am sure it will get better in no time. Long time since a Spydie had bit me this hard!



Kahz



<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> is my kind of knife!

[Jeff/1911]

Kahz,

I've done exactly the same thing, although when it happened to me I had just oiled the blade and was wiping it clean so I got a nice deep cut filled with oil. This wasn't too bad as it was just my &quot;knife blend&quot; of mineral oil with a dash of clove oil for that nice smell.

Heal quickly, Spyderchum.

Jeff.

I did something like that. I was cleaning an old scout knife when it slipped and cut really deep. That was about 2 years ago.

In the land of knives, <img src="http://www.spyderco.com/forum/spyder.gif" border=0> is KING!

I guess I shouldn't be too worried, since Ballistol was intended, among its many other uses, as a medicinal dressing oil.

My worst bite to date was while testing a freshly sharpened Rescue Jr blade. Drew my thumb across the blade at a point and it bit right in. That one healed in about a week unbandaged.

My Calypso Jr. is always the one I'm worried most about, but it's never bitten me, even after I got close to a needle tip back on it. Remember, cuts from a sharp knife heal faster than those from a dull knife. A dull knife will rip and tear more. A sharp knife produces a clean slice that goes back together faster.

Wise man say, forgiveness is divine. Remember that when your <img src="http://www.spyderco.com/forum/spyder.gif" border=0> bites you!

Hey Kahz!

Take care of the cut! Here's wishing you a speedy recovery.. <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[lotsablades]

For me at least, the day is not official until I bleed at least once.

(I am constantly nicking myself, both while playing with my &quot;toys&quot;, and during the course of my work!)


Heal fast, Kahz! I am bloodbrothers with many a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>!

[Kahz]

Thanks guys! Well, the cut is reddish, but yes, clean. Like the man who got bit by a wereworlf... beware of the next full moon for Kahz will turn into a giant &quot;Spyder&quot;!!!! Bwahahahaha!!!! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Sword and Shield]

Argh...cuts are never good. I'll have to send ya some SpyderBandaids, Kahz. I am now fully convinced that any <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> product is a tad bloodthirsty. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[Kahz]

Sword,

Yes, it's their vampire nature. Where's Vampyrewolf, btw? Haven't seen him around for a while...

I love <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and rock and roll!

[Blades]

Must be the weekend for cuts. I was practicing open/closing left hand/right hand, and my Vesuvius bit me. Just a small clean cut, but it wanted to bleed. Everyone be careful, <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> bites are going around. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Gee-whiz, Kahz.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> You should have let ol' Spydernut sharpen your Folder, as I am used to seeing my own blood. LOL!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Well, I suppose that you are relieved that Jade Green isn't serrated! Ouch! I hope your finger heals with all speed. Take care, SpyderGirl!

~Spydernut<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[jaxon]

Ooooooohhh Kahz! Bummer. I see SpyderNut is back. No wonder. The king of hurt yourself. I should talk. I still see the scar on my left index finger from a scout knife about 50+ years ago. And I still haven't learned. You can hurt yourself without a knife. I have to remember not to use my hand as a hammer.<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Darn, that hurts. Heal soon and well Kahz.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Jaxon

[yog]

Hope your finger heals real fast Kahz.

Coincidentally the only serious'ish cut I have had in several years was when I was sharpening a knife with my 204. Holding the knife in my right hand and reached across my body with my left hand to pick something up on mu right side and felt the slightest of tugs on my left index finger. The finger must have just brushed the blade, but the blood was everywhere.

Is that a <img src="http://spyderco.com/forum/spyder.gif"border=0> in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me ?

[SpyderNut]

Jaxon,

Heh heh! The &quot;King of Hurt Yourself&quot;.<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I like it! It has a nice ring to it.

BTW, what happend to Kahz? Anyone know? I hope that she didn't encounter a full moon....*Looking for big Spyder*.....that wouldn't be good.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> At any rate, don't feel bad, Kahz, I just had a accident with a DeWalt skil saw, and shaved a piece off the tip of my left ring figer.<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Ouchie! Well, what do you expect from the King of Pain? hehe!

~Spydernut

[liko]

I've had a lot of injuries that weren't knife-related. I've had my finger crushed in a door hinge. That hurts, just trust me on that one. My most recent was a scrape from a sharp plexiglass edge. Looks pretty nasty.

Hey Kahz,

I guess the poor knife was thristy -- it never got any of my blood.

Good to see you two bonding. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

*a giant Spyder approaches*

So, Spydernut, your turn to scold me? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> My finger is doing a lot better guys, thanks. A one day old scar of battle. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Better be careful next time, oh well... even the best hunter gets killed by the lion, right? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Carlos, yes, the Folder is a thirsty one, we are bonding quite well, thanks to you! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> *big hug*

See you guys during the week! Have a good and Spydie start!

&quot;A knife in hand, is as painful as it looks.&quot;

[Jeff/1911]

Here's a funny &quot;Spydercut&quot; story...

Last Thursday, as I met a friend for lunch I cut my middle fingertip on the right hand with my Wegner Jr. What's funny about this is that I did it closing the blade with one hand, as I held the large Wegner in my other hand after showing this guy both knives together; a &quot;father and son&quot; pair.

I was showing him that I was carrying the knives, and in particular the Jr. as he had been the one to buy me the Wegner Jr. some months ago from a neighboring city when I was unable to find one locally, and we had just now gotten together so that I could pay him for it. The knife had arrived before Christmas and so I had been using it all along.

This whole thing was especially funny to me because he thinks I'm a &quot;Knife nut&quot; for paying that much for a little pocketknife, and it was hilarious that I cut myself with the very knife he had procured for me while I showed it to him. I bled all through lunch at the restaurant, and had to keep getting the waiter to bring me more napkins to soak it up.

Cheers, Jeff/1911.

Today's lesson: Don't put your hand under the blade while closing the knife. Brought to you by, the local emergency room.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

&quot;A knife in hand, usually requires medical treatment.&quot;

I have learned to carry a bandaid with me anytime I am planning to go anywhere that sells knives.Put it in your wallet at least you can get it out before the cash.

Kahz,

Yup, I guess I'll only get this one chance to &quot;razz&quot; you, so I thought I'd better take advantage of it! Heh heh!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> How is the wound doing? I hope it is recovering nicely. Don't let the Lum get too much of that red stuff!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

My brother, ( A Buck knife fan ), cut himself on my &quot;Q&quot; Saturday night when he accidently sliced the tip of his left middle finger. It is still bleeding today! He told me that, &quot;I was wrong about those Spyderco's. They are SHARP!&quot; I think we might have another Spydernut in the making.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Take care, O Noble Kahz!

[AllenETreat]

Dear Kahz :

I had my C 29BK &quot;Cricket&quot; nip me in the
left ring fingertip during careless
sharpening ( see : Ouch ! that Spydie bites
posting AET ). Luckily, being a clean cut,
it healed right away, with no visible
scaring.

All hail <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> 's ; switchblades BAD, Spydies
GOOD !

ATE ( alias A.E.T. )

[Kahz]

Well,

It's certainly good to know that so many Spyderfolks share &quot;battle wounds&quot;. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

A small piece of flesh fell off my finger today, and it's on its way to regeneration. I think I will carry a band-aid from now on... good advice! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Kahz the giant Spyder bounces away to study for YET another test...

I love <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and rock and roll!

Hi Kahz,

Sounds like it's healing now. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Wonderful. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

SpyderNut,

You did WHAT? With a Skilsaw? Is that why they called it a SKIL saw? Sorry. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Jaxon



Weekend yet?

[SpyderNut]

Jaxon,
*Looking sheepish*

I was working on a closet with a 18 volt DeWalt skil saw, ( &quot;Skill&quot; saw, LOL! ) when I accidently got my left ring finger too close to the &quot;working end&quot; of the blade. OUCH! It took a full second for me to realize that I had just shaved some flesh from my own finger.....Geez! What a dumb thing to do.<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I had no one to blame but myself.
Ah well. &quot;Live and learn&quot;, is my motto! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Take care, bro!

~Spydernut

[jaxon]

SpyderNut,
At least we know your healing systems are always in good working order. Take care y'self bro.
Jaxon

Weekend yet?

[Sword and Shield]

Ah, the SpyderWounds are flowing fast and furious now, aren't they? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I haven't managed to do serious damage with a Spyder, just your usual array of nicks, cuts, and small slashes.

Now other knives, that's a different story. I was trying to remember if I have a single scar from a sharp knife, and the answer is no. Sharp things may bite, but they heal great! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[Clay Kesting]

Kahz,

I'm really sorry about this, especially since it is obviously all my fault (just like everything else)<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

Kahz,
Sorry to hear about your wound
Got my first Chinese Folder last week(green)
So impressed with it, ordered &amp; received the Tanto Folder today(Shipper sent a reusable dispenser of bandaids attatched to the knife box)
Glad to hear your wound is healing
<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Sword and Shield]

Yes, <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>nut, we both must blame Kahz for El Rat&#243;n fever! The <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>virus just keeps growing, and I've decided to stop fighting and let it go. Now if only I had an extra $75 to feed my Mouse cravings, I'd be all set.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

I do not know what you guys are talking about...
