First (and only) serious cut I’ve had from a knife was in webelos. First time closing a buck folder and my hand slipped, slicing my hand open. Probably needed stitches but it was nothing some butterfly tape couldn’t fix lol. And can’t forget the various cuts from butterfly knives 😅
Growing up in the country (in the 70s no less) I got my first pocket knife around 1st grade. This is a good primer for everyone just getting into knives.
Youre one of my faverote channels you dont boast about steels you reccomend great gear and you make good short videos and certainly great full length videos. Keep em coming cheers man .
Was a butcher many moons ago, number 8 was a big one but if you had 3 people talking at you it was important to develop the confidence to put the knife down and deal with the talking no matter how much people were complaining about having to wait. This leads nicely into rushing. Lots of accidents from that. Sharpening, maintaining and adjusting new folders seems to be my favourite way of getting cut these days but you learn.
Nice one! Swiss Army knife, fold accessory away before opening another😂 ...more serious tips, be mindful the SAK has 2 blades (most, not all) and sometimes that smaller one is a better size for the job. Also, if you keep both blades sharp and you blunt one without a sharpening option, switch to the other!
i was getting into knife collecting then i was cutting something with a tip of a slip joint knife and it closed directly on my finger and i felt the blade hit my bone it was one of the worst scars i ever got from a knife i still have it but dont use it that often
With extreme knife ownership comes a greater propensity for accidents. Last one for me was maintainaince on my buck 110. Super sharp mirror edge but the action seemed gritty so working some Ballistol into the joint, slipped out of my grip and snapped shut on my finger. You know what the snap is like on those old style bucks hey? Lol
I think we take knife safety for granted. I have a bit of learning scars, like yourself. On another note of it, I an pretty sure I have injured myself making knives and other sharp implements more.
If you carry a folding locking knife in your pocket; I highly recommend that you disassemble and clean it regularly. If it does not disassemble try blowing the lint out of it. Lint can build up on the pivot, the lock etc preventing it from locking in place.
Great vid. My "knife safety reminder" scar is the classic "hold a plastic bottle (ketchup that time) with your left hand and drive the knife down to make a hole in the lid with the right hand"...neat little puncture between the thumb and index finger when the blade slipped...Stupid kid moment, but the only scar I have (from a knife), so I guess I learned my lesson.
2:16 Sir! Yes, there is! Please let me explain: Writing this up will be annoying for me, but please bear with me! First you are holding the knife edge up and right in front of you, just like you started out. But instead or grabbing the blade you do something safer and with more leverage: - You are holding the knife (with the edge away from your hand!;) with both hands. - You are securely holding the knife on both ends of the handle with each thumb and index finger. The blade back will touch one of your hands, this is supposed to happen, so make sure you are properly holding the knife with the edge away from your hand. (During the next steps the blade back can be either pushed against the index finger of respective hand, or against the area between your thumb and index finger. The important part about this technique are your middle fingers. But mostly the middle finger of your hand away from the blade. Your middle fingers are supporting from below and will act like a leaver. You will probably already hold the knife like that and not have your fingers spread out, as these things can come naturally.) - You carefully twist either one or both hands. So that your hand where the blade back is pushing against will twist where you are grabbing the pivot area with your thumb and index finger. - The middle finger of the hand away of the blade will provide leverage from below so you can have a secure grip and provide steady pressure. (- Instead of using your middle finger as leverage on the handle, you can also use your index finger for leverage. This way your grip comes much more from below and comes less up sideways as it does with the middle finger leverage.) I hope I could provide a clear image with as few sentences as possible, because this is my favorite technique to close a slipjoint knife! The other ones are just pushing the blade back against my leg and have my other hand free, lol, or holding it in my main hand and breaking the open position with my thumb, before switching grip to get my other fingers out of the danger zone, but that last one is technically not as safe of course.
For swiss army style knives, I find bracing the body against the crook of your thumb helps stablize it while closing (side opposite the blade pressing down into your hand, with fingers holding sides and underside). For the locking ones like showed, keeping the finger nail in the way can act as a last ditch protection (do NOT use force to close blade till thumb is removed). Greatly reduces risk of actual injury.
Cut my index finger when i tried to cut through the hole length of paper by holding my opinel on the butt for extra momentum and hacked at not so much the paper. I think that ppl put too much emphasis on finger guards. If you see the nordic puukkos fx. Don't think they ran around with sliced palms or they would have changed the design.
My first serious accident was when I was cutting a piece of wood and my pinky was in the way and when I was cutting towards myself and now I have a funky scar because despite the cut being straight there’s is an upside down u scar
7:35 Yeah, I once safely handed another person my open folder handle first, edge away from my hand, barely touching the handle so he can get a clean grip on the handle, and he just yanked it out of my hand in a ways that it almost cut me. I immediately got a spike of adrenaline and moved my hand out of the way in split seconds. After all that happened within the blink of an eye I loudly went: 'Whwow!' and that friend of mine didn't even realize what just had happened! Thank goodness for my reflexes!
I’ve cut myself exactly 3 times while using a knife. Every time it was while cutting kielbasa…..I fixed that mistake by swearing an oath that I will never cut kielbasa again. 10 years now and still won’t cut kielbasa. Lol
Probably worst mistake I made was trying to catch a sog otf knife. Went through the side of my shoe and stopped at the sole padding leaving a nice pathway through my foot
I have many scars on my hands lol. My most recent one is actually from a sword. I went to do an uppercut on a sapling, but it didnt go all the way through, and the sapling bounced back and acted like a spring and spun the sword around. Im very luckly i only needed 8 or 9 stitches and didnt lose any functionality of my finger
Tons of respect and love what you do. Your PSA however got muddled by the sponsorship a bit. I’ve seen more frequent and serious injuries from people using a dull edge and high force to power through a cut. Would have been a great opportunity to explain/show the why/how it happens for a +10 sec runtime. Your content is 11/10, we’re glad to wait.
Thanks for the feedback! Being as how this is in a large part how I feed my family, I am exceedingly grateful for the brands that trust me to review and talk about their products in exchange for compensation. Thanks for watching even though it may not be your favorite thing to sit through. I try to make sponsored spots organic and interesting for my audience, instead of just plopping like a spot for shampoo in the middle of a knife video. 😂
Cut myself, yes! Tell the story….Which one? Since you included sawing….The worst was as a kid I used a metal cutting blade hacksaw to cut a piece of half round. My left hand was close, index finger was extended, saw jumped and I sawed into the first knuckle exposing the bone. I am double jointed in that knuckle to this day.
My brother has this weird habit of checking the sharpness of a knife by running his finger on the blade. And he always cuts himself doing this. And he won’t stop.
1. i was watching a show on my laptop while in bed and i was also playing with a karambit ( i know, pretty stupid but i was 14). i was rotating the knife around my finger when i wanted to pause the show. when i extended my left hand towards the laptop the karambit landed right in my hand making my white tshirt red 2. i was in italy for the new year and just bought a swiza d5. while playing with it i tried closing it with one hand while not paying too much attention and cut my finger to the bone
don't worry as a 13 year old I do a lot of dumb stuff with my knives I know I shouldn't do it but cutting half from my nail to the knuckle as a 6 year old did not teach me not to nothing will
My first bad cut was when i was messing around with my knife(i was like 8 and in cub scouts) and i was flailing around my knife and cut myself on the side of my head! I have also had a terrible cut from a saw in boy scouts about half a year ago, and i ripped up the skin and nail on my thumb. It took a lot of band aids and rubbing alchohol, and about 2 months to completely fix and look like it never happened. Its all about experience. You get it wrong so many times until you get it right! 😂
I have a spyderco manix 2 and I'm a nerd when it comes to sharpening, so I was opening a roll of paper towels and went to close it and I close it with one hand but some how it flung up in the air, cut my pinky wide open and poked my friend. I have no idea how it happened I can't figure out how it did that but it did, and just so you guys know I fidget with my knives all the time! I've probably opened and closed my knife two thousand times just for fun 😂 and haven't cut my self doing that so no matter how much you know your knife, or now how to use it you can still get cut in some way, but it also lowers the risk tremendously!!! Stay safe and have fun!!
Great video! I once carried a straight razor in my so called fifth pocket, that famous pocket watch pocket, but not for very long. Of course it had to get lose at some point, as these pockets are rather wide compared to a straight razor, and as I was reaching for it it cut the inside of my middle finger open. Sooo I freaking stopped doing that of course. Got a scar to remind me to not do stupid things ever since, lol.
Yep totaly have i was cutting up some game i just shot and started to field dress and i caught it on a bone and it slipped out of my hand and went straight to my leg and gave it a good cut. Big ouchies
when i first started bush craft i was making a wooden spear from a stick with a knife and there was a knot in the wood that was hard get and i put a lot of pressure on it and keep in mind this was like my first time with knifes so i was cutting twords my hand and bam the knife went thru it and cut my hand so tips if your new...1: dont cut twords yourself 2: if your knife gets stuck wiggle the knife slowly its more controlled when cutting 3: wear protection
I had just gotten mora 511 and I got a little too excited that I got a new knife and I decided to start whittling on a stick and I was cutting towards myself and my knife cut into my hand and I ended up having to get 7 stitches
oh man, i had this brand-new SOG with D2 steel and somth similar to an axis lock. kept opening and closing it very tacti-cool like...until i dropped it and tried to catch it, sticking it abt half a centimetre in my thigh. that was hella fun
Worst cut I ever got with a knife, I was trying to break apart frozen chicken and was stabbing at it with a dull kitchen knife. I ended up hitting a particular hard frozen spot and the knife glanced off into the back of my thumb. Thankfully I was able to stop the bleeding without having to get stitches, but it’s not something I wish to repeat. When I was young, my dad cut himself really badly with a Swiss Army knife. I wasn’t there, but the story I’ve been told is that he was trying to use the blade to screw a loose screw in the bathroom and realized that he had a Phillips head on his Swiss Army knife, so he opened the Phillips head screwdriver without closing the knife blade and started screwing them. He did have to get stitches.
I was in an outdoors shop and i was looking at really sweet folding knife it had a really sharp egde and there was lock and it closed on finger that was a week ago 😂❤
Big ole short story: One of my very first pocket knives was a Victorinox Spartan, and I have used it a lot when I was younger. Of course I tried to push the blade into something once, for whatever reason. And of course the blade snagged into my index finger sideways as the pressure on the tip overcame the spring tension. Almost 2 years ago I found it in a drawer again, and I sharpened out the big chip it had in the middle of the longer blade, sharpened both blades up to hair popping again and to top it off I put in brand a new tooth pick, brand new tweezers and a brand new micro screwdriver to put into the corkscrew. So glad I kept it, it has so many battle marks and it is alive and kicking again!
my first cut I used a boxcutter and I lost a chunk of flesh and fingernail luckily my parent's rushed me to the emergency room and they glued it I have a nasty scar under my fingernail I was 6 or 5 now I get cut often as a handy 13 year old that now owns a collection of 10 knives two witch I made
I was cutting potatoes in half when i was 12 and i didnt even notice it but i cut my finger so fast i did not feel it and i got scared when it started bleeding.
Hay Grimm .. I am your subscriber from Indonesia, if you don't mind, could you review the AITOR COMMANDO Knife from AITOR COMPANY, because one of the special forces in my country still uses the knife from AITOR to this day. Thank You
My dumb ass tryed to hack down on a hard stick with a dull blade trying to split it (i did not know how to split a stick) so i missed aand made a suprisingly small cut at the beginning of my thumb
The last cut I got was from a darn slipjoint Barlow that has a half stop. This is why I don't like half stops on slipjoint knives and prefer a Victorinox kind of action. Of course I was closing it with my favorite onehanded technique, breaking the spring tension with my thumb first, before regripping to move my other fingers out of the way to continue, and as it snapped into its half stop it cut right into the side of my index finger that was still well within the handle area and not at all close to the end of the handle. I only like it when they snap closed, but these half stop snaps are straight up dangerous! Even though they are fun! Klick-klack!
I have a really funny story actually, so when I was younger I had seen one of those videos of a dude like tossing around a knife and I thought it was cool so me being really stupid I mimicked that and I dropped it and I caught it… and sliced my hand lol
Got my girlfriend a martini knife from finland she was watching a show saw something fall out the corner of her eye and and it was the knife falling out of a leather retention sheath.... She cut 2 tendens has a scar now from her pointer finger going down to where the palm meets the wrist..
I cut myself on accident once with a knife as a little kid, while carving a jackolantern.. I hated the feeling so much that I made sure I never did it again.
Also I had a credit card knife and I cut my finger and they say when you cut your self with a knife you got to name it and I cut my self on accident and I named it credit karma
Wait, 36 Million households in the US have pocket knifes? Only 36 Million? You are telling me that less than a third of american households own at least one pocket knife? LESS THAN THE PERCENTAGE THAT OWNS GUNS??? I don’t want to judge here, but what the hell would compel a nation to have a higher percentage of gun ownership than pocket knife ownership?
Cut myself with a chefs knife...also earlier in the video you mentioned putting your thumb over the pommel of the knife if your using a Downward stabbing motion you didn't mention the use of a lanyard... also it won't let me click on any of your short videos
Once my brother gave me a pocket knife WITH NO LOCK then I end up slamming it on the floor and cutting my pinky and it was a bloodbath, I still have the scar and the same knife
First (and only) serious cut I’ve had from a knife was in webelos. First time closing a buck folder and my hand slipped, slicing my hand open. Probably needed stitches but it was nothing some butterfly tape couldn’t fix lol. And can’t forget the various cuts from butterfly knives 😅

Ill be honest I've never cut myself doing any of those things. But then I'm dumb not stupid.

Indeed, that is good insight. Sometimes safety features give us a false sense of security.
Welp as a balisong flipper i gotta catch a knife midair while doing aerial
I mean… I suppose that is what that branch of the hobby is all about. ☠️
I’ve severed a tendon in my foot, chopped off my fingertip, and so many more
I’ve paid my blood tax with all my current knives…just hope my next one won’t claim
12yo for my birthday i got my first knife a victorinox compact and while descovering all of his functions i cut myself with the blade
Ooo! That kinda takes the fun out of getting a new knife!
@@grimgranite it was fun cause i got that and a first aid kit so i tried that out too that day AHAHAHAHAH
Follow up question: can I use a pry bar for a knife?

I got my first knife 2 to 3 years ago, cut myself when I folded it, cut the tip of my finger off and went to urgent care, it was a Swiss army knife

I was cutting potatoes in half when i was 12 and i didnt even notice it but i cut my finger so fast i did not feel it and i got scared when it started bleeding.
That must have been a sharp knife! Yikes
Its funny because it was closer to a cheap gas station knife and i didnt even sharpen it.
Hay Grimm .. I am your subscriber from Indonesia, if you don't mind, could you review the AITOR COMMANDO Knife from AITOR COMPANY, because one of the special forces in my country still uses the knife from AITOR to this day. Thank You
My dumb ass tryed to hack down on a hard stick with a dull blade trying to split it (i did not know how to split a stick) so i missed aand made a suprisingly small cut at the beginning of my thumb
The last cut I got was from a darn slipjoint Barlow that has a half stop. This is why I don't like half stops on slipjoint knives and prefer a Victorinox kind of action. Of course I was closing it with my favorite onehanded technique, breaking the spring tension with my thumb first, before regripping to move my other fingers out of the way to continue, and as it snapped into its half stop it cut right into the side of my index finger that was still well within the handle area and not at all close to the end of the handle.
I only like it when they snap closed, but these half stop snaps are straight up dangerous! Even though they are fun! Klick-klack!
2:37 can I ask you, under what name can I find this knife?
Hello! Yes, that is the Olight Parrot.
Thanks man
I have a really funny story actually, so when I was younger I had seen one of those videos of a dude like tossing around a knife and I thought it was cool so me being really stupid I mimicked that and I dropped it and I caught it… and sliced my hand lol
Ooooo! Ouch!
@@grimgranite I agree 😂
Got my girlfriend a martini knife from finland she was watching a show saw something fall out the corner of her eye and and it was the knife falling out of a leather retention sheath.... She cut 2 tendens has a scar now from her pointer finger going down to where the palm meets the wrist..
The reason for the long scar was re attaching her tendens .
Oh yeah one time I was acting stupid with my knife and I was seeing how sharp it was and I cut my finger on accident but basically did it on purpose
GoodStuff™
Thanks for watching!
I cut myself on accident once with a knife as a little kid, while carving a jackolantern.. I hated the feeling so much that I made sure I never did it again.
Ooo! Yikes!
I was splitting some bamboo in half and my hand was underneath and I cut my finger off when i was 10 years old 😂😅

We’re all those bandages on your hands for laughs?
A joke for sure! 😅
@@grimgranite😂😂 right on I was thinking that’s ironic about the safety tips. Well played!
Not to long ago I stabbed my hand with a case knife.
Oh boy! Case knives, I almost forgot about those! It’s been probably 10 years since I’ve had one. Thanks for sharing!

That’s a great saying, I like that!
I was trying to carve a stick while sitting in a tree only to have the branch I was sitting on snap…. Think you can figure out what happened
😩 Whoa! Were there injuries involved with that one?
It wasn’t terrible, I got a pretty deep cut across 2 fingers that I promptly patched up with some tape😂
Knife safety tips from a guy with half a dozen bandaids on his hands, well, I guess he has practical experience.
I have so many even today I actually cut myself nothing too bad but yeah😂

with a axe
Also I had a credit card knife and I cut my finger and they say when you cut your self with a knife you got to name it and I cut my self on accident and I named it credit karma
Wait, 36 Million households in the US have pocket knifes? Only 36 Million? You are telling me that less than a third of american households own at least one pocket knife? LESS THAN THE PERCENTAGE THAT OWNS GUNS???
I don’t want to judge here, but what the hell would compel a nation to have a higher percentage of gun ownership than pocket knife ownership?
Cut myself with a chefs knife...also earlier in the video you mentioned putting your thumb over the pommel of the knife if your using a Downward stabbing motion you didn't mention the use of a lanyard... also it won't let me click on any of your short videos
I've cut myself all 10 ways, but only once each. Please don't make a 50 knife fails video 😅
Oh goodness!! Ok, I won’t. 😅
Once my brother gave me a pocket knife WITH NO LOCK then I end up slamming it on the floor and cutting my pinky and it was a bloodbath, I still have the scar and the same knife
