Yeah, the big one is my fave just to look at and hold. I don't take it anywhere. The only one that goes out is the smallest one.
It does not make me seem like a crazed axe murderer.

An AK-47 that looked like Tim Curry would freak me out as well.

Pics or it didn't happen!
Seriously, I hope it wasn't to bad a cut. What BM did you pick up? I have a Griptilian and after a couple of years with it, I STILL have to remember it is an axis lock. I so prefer liner locks. I now have a Sebenza for EDC.

I got the Griptilian too. I originally went for the pink mini one for the proceeds go to breast cancer but they only had the brown, black and green. I got the black one. Here's where I put the link: https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.p...51&postcount=4
How do you like it so far? I got the full size one - it felt better in the hand and more balanced for some reason.

Has coddling tendencies.
I can relate Siu.
About 6 weeks I was opening a bag of tortillas with my newly sharpened knife, when... owiee. I was in my car at the time and good thing I carry a first aid kit. Sharp knife and fingers are never a good combination.

What happens if you cut yourself on someone else's knife? Do you get to keep it?

Well, I'm guessing the fact that you are still typing answers here means the finger is still attached. That means the knife needs sharpening.

The first application of superglue came off with the shower last night. It's still hurting pretty bad, is swollen and I can see the edges of the injury are red. It's probably infected from the oils on the blade.
After I rinsed it I put alcohol in it and then hydrogen peroxide. Dried it and then the superglue.
But it still hoirts. Bad.
