Reminds me of when I worked at the resturant, first job back in the early 80's. Was pushing some trash bags down in the dumpster and there was a can lid inside one of them. Cut between the thumb and first finger right below the knuckle. Bled quite a bit and required stitches. Never did hurt much though, but the first two fingers were mostly numb for a year or two. And those dang L1 clips, I haven't found anything that works well removing them. Extra careful!

While I was a resident on secondment up the coast my wife back at home dropped one of my kitchen knives. I had the OLD Globals and kept them really sharp. Anyhow my wife calls me at 10pm to tell me her big toe is wide open and gushing blood. . I'm 10 hrs drive away so I call her mother who goes over to find my wife crawling around with the two babies and a trail of blood through the house. Mother-in-law faints. My wife calls an ambulance who takes EVERYONE in the house to the hospital. I found out the next morning and couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. All turned out OK. 'Hope it's the same for all you guys!!!

I got a brand new Uncle Henry fillet knife one year and it was a razor right out of the blister pack. Buddy of mine wanted to see it, I tell him it is extremely sharp, he tries to flick a hair off the back of his hand, ends up taking out a nice little scallop along w/the hair! We all laughed of course! Sure hated losing that knife. It was a beautiful fish filleter!
