I was reading about folks getting cut accidentally handling knifes in the new blade mag.today.Anyone ever done this,getting cut looking and handling a knife at a store or gun/knife show?I have thought about it being easy to happen and come close buthave been lucky!I have been cut many times using knifes,especially when young.Whats your worst cut before by a knife,both of mine were with deer knifes non-folding sheathtype knifes,One cutting fish bait ,sliced half my fingerto the bone,the other fielddressing a 6point buck bowkill.......trying to split the breast bone,puma trail guide all most thru the middle of my hand!!I learned the hard way about razor sharp knifes and carelessness....

A long time ago I was learning how to polish japanese sword blades, and was polishing a small sword and managed to stab my middle finger on my left hand. I think I was 17 at the time. Anyway, I still have the scars on my finger- one where it went in and one where it came out!

One thing I have found is I have been more prone to cut myself with a dull knife than with a very sharp one, due to having to work harder to try an cut something.

Never can have a knife too sharp.

I don't recall ever cutting myself while just handling a knife, though I think I was closing a swiss army knife and had the blade snap shut on a finger.

The worst cut was while dicing potatoes with a chef's knife. I nearly took the tip off of my index finger and have a notable semi-circle scar from the indident.

I remember when I was 16 everyone carried a Buck 110.And sanded the wood on one side so you could open it with you thumb.I cut my thumb pretty damm good first couple of trys.
