Beware sharp knives

[Woodsmoke]

If it's war wounds, may I humbly present my own? Trimming sheep feet, and a kick at an inopportune time put these buggers through the back of my hand. Didn't half make me feel a bit squirrelly! Healed now, but I still suffer pins and needles, nerve pain, numbness, etc. All because I thought it was more important to finish the job rather than go to A&E with it

Just back at work from a similar story. I cut the policis longus tendon in my right thumb and had it surgically repaired. The scar goes from the base of my thumb in an S shape to the nail. 12 weeks off in total and its still a bit numb and stiff. Be careful chaps.

Ye, I'm righr handed and cut my right hand. I was moving a deer and had the knife in my left and it cut the outside of the right thumb. Douin things with your weak hand only takes a bit of getting used to. Hope it goes well.

Lucky you didn't have to have that amputated and replaced with a whalebone prosthetic.

Cheap Kevlar glove under a latex on my non-knife hand now.
Started doing this after trying to remove my left index finger at the knuckle while taking legs off rabbits at 1am on Hogmanay in the rain. I was sober. Took half a dozen sheets of kitchen roll before the blood stemmed and I was brave enough to have a look. Pulled the rabbit fur and crap out the wound and gave it a run under the tap. Dressing, another sheet of kitchen roll and a few turns of masking tape. Should’ve gone to A&E but didn’t want COVID.
On the plus side, the knife was fine and sharp so left almost no scar. Downside is that the finger above the knuckle is slightly twisted snd it’s stiff in the morning now until it gets moving. Was lucky not to cut anything too important.

Similar mistake....I did mine taking the leg off a deer...ran the bade around the joint....didn't put the knife down....and as I twisted the leg off just brushed my knuckles across the tip of the knife held in the other hand...

Put the knife down. Step away from the knife!

Just a tip and a warning and a thank you. Tip first… I have recently found that a chain mail glove is a brilliant aid to skinning it enables you to get a positive grip on the slippery pelt without strain. I have also discovered that mine will fit over both my nitrile rubber glove and the...

War wounds, pah.
Try getting shot by your mate with a air rifle at 4m aged 17. Lost 4 pints of blood in the height of the AIDS crisis. Scar from sternum to belly button.
Got an extra belly button now. 2x the fluff.
Sorry about the pic.
Still love shooting.

That's nothing! I was shot at point-blank range when I accidentally walked in front of my mate's punt gun . . . . .

Thankfully, I got better

I hate blunt knifes there the ones that tend to cut you more due to forcing the blade to do more than it can . I have my knifes that only i clean wife hates them as there shaving sharp . long time ago after having had one attemped to cut my own finger off as a lad more or less as the poor sod has . Saying that my hands and fingers are like a road map off Paris
Chin up feller its only 14 days plus years and years if you have chopped the nerves mine after 47 yrs still hurts like a bugger if i bang it lol.

[JockStalk]

That’s nuthin.
When I were 5 years old my dad used to murder me to death every day before making me walk it off.

Ouch!

I made it to the bathroom sink before my knees gave out . . . . . .

Dressing a buck one evening and decided to split sternum with big knife. My wife said "hang on I'll get a meat saw", Pratt decides to carry on while she went. Holding one front leg carried on, knife came out and hit three top joints of fingers on left hand. Result, three split ripe tomatoes, a few F's from her indoors went to sink and washed hand, cold water made me bounce off the opposite wall. Then off to A&E.30 miles away. Now it's quite hard to freeze fingers so the young doc just sewed away and said how quiet it was that night. Fourteen stitches later on way home a dozen boys fighting in the road. " Drive on" says I " That Doc's going to be quite busy shortly".
