Dave Taylor,

Did I neglect to say be careful those knives are sharp?

Thanks Billy.  That Bowie sounds like a really nice one.  How about posting that picture?  I'd like to see it.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one here who interacts with knives in a rather self destructive way at times.  I guess it's just part of the "fun".  I'm having so much "fun" I just did it again this morning!  Right forefinger this time.....

I think I'm going to take up knitting.

I hope you heal quickly, Dave. I opened a 12" Brian Wilhoite Bowie a few days ago to take a picture of it and it fell out of the box and landed on my ankle. Luckily it just left a little cut on my ankle where it landed on its side. I am sure glad that the blade didn't hit with the edge straight down. I'm always getting nicks from the knives.

Hey, that works every time! 

Everytime I sharpen knives for lady friends they cut themselves within 24 hours, guaranteed.  I guess that's why they let their knives get so dull before they bring them to me.

Then again, maybe that's why I don't seem to have many lady friends...........

Life is Hard.

LOL,

Donnie thinks that ya'll should call yourselves the cutting club.  Thats why when he sharpens mine he always tells me, be careful I sharpened your knives today.  It gaurentees I will cut myself that night

LOL.
Bob, that's a hard way to sell a knife, but I know you'll go the extra mile to make the sale! I guess I'd but the knife too, figuring it's the least I could do. And you're right. Carrying the big band-aids just kind of goes with the territory.
It's a risky business we're in my friend!

Stephen, I remember that picture! You did a fine job there! LOL. And if I remember right you stuck it out and went on to make the photo, which turned out great! "When the going gets tough, the tough keep going". That's Stephen!
Good knives cut good. No matter what they're cutting.
Maybe we need to start some kind of "Vets Club" for knife cuts.

I know the feeling. Not only as a Collector,but as a Dealer,I handle HUNDREDS of knives in a years time. There is nothing more humbling than laying yourself wide open while showing a knife to a customer. I've learned to carry some heavy duty band-aids everywhere I go. Cuts just kind of go with the territory. Oh,and they usually buy the knife!

Bob, thanks for the kind words.

Ya know, I still can't figure how I managed to get cut opening that knife!  Closing I can understand, although as you point out the half stops are there to prevent that, but opening?  It happened so fast I don't know just how it happened.

I hate it when I do dumb stuff.

LOL.  Thanks Jean!  Thumbs up, and I'm glad I still have one.  I changed the bandage last night and got a good look at it.  Ain't pretty but it's still there.                Life's Good!

 

Jan, now Donnie and I can exchange "war stories" about knife "wounds".             The knives may have won the battle but we'll win the war.

 

Bob, those half stops are a great safety feature aren't they? 

Now I just have to remember which of my knives have them and which don't.

Sounds simple enough........  ha.
