Not really biking related, but about 5 years ago while my wife was working at Costal Seafoods (probably the best fish monger here) she too cut open her hand. The knives had just been sharpened that day from the service, which of course means they were razor sharp. Opening a case of PBOs (pin bone out salmon), she cut through not just the straps holding the top on the case, but through two layers of gloves as well. Realizing she had cut herself, but not realizing how bad, she took a look at her had (I assume after saying a few words which would be sensored here). First the neoprene glove peels away, then the latex glove, finally her skin itself peels back to reveal bone. About a 3 inch gash she inflicted upon herself, one which required 26 stitches in order to repair. Luckily she missed any major bloodvein, or else the situation could have been more dire. We have pictures, she looks like she has a frankenstien hand, quite interesting.

The wierdest part about it is, she doesn't have a scar... The person giving the stitches most have been quite competent, because her hand looks normal, I think the sharpness of the knife must of had something to do with this as well.
