Im talking cut as in I sliced the hell out of my finger yesterday. I was dusting off a space heater to sell in my dads yardsale...and simply bumped it with my hand. Then I noticed there was blood all over the thing, and when I looked down, I nearly sliced my knuckle off. I probably should of gotten stitches because the bastard broke back open a good 3 times yesterday,but I think I got it to finally hold itself together. So now Im typing like an idiot because I cant really bend my finger....Ive had to rewrite most of these words due to misspelling...... So yea, annoying, stupid way to mess myself up

One time I was building the turret of a model T-34, and I accidentally stabbed my thumb with the scissors I was using to cut the parts off the sprue. I didn't even notice I had stabbed myself until I looked at the turret and wondered why it was covered in blood.

What's even worse, I know for a fact that we are more immediately concerned with getting the blood off the model than the fact that we're leaking everywhere

I've had the usual hobby scrapes, but my worst was when I sliced my forearm open on a pallet of expanded metal after tripping. The muscle hanging out looked exactly like raw chicken.

Never had anything that deep (well, not this year at least). Although I slice open my finger with surprising regularity when washing dishes.

My wife loves those damn ceramic knives, but lets see how she feels about blood soaked dishwater!

I hit a nerve with the very, very pointy end of a scalpel while modelling some Ravagers (extra hospital supplies, saves money. Heh.) and what can be described as my body urgently deciding to not stay in the chair anymore ensued.

For some reason I thought this was going to be about you cutting your beard too short.

What me? Cutting my Beard?! Pff you obviously do not know me sir! Ill trim it a smidge.....a few inches maybe....funny thing is I was complaining about the last time I trimmed it down a couple inches, and I can STILL touch my hair line on my forehead with my beard...so not so short I guess


Well, it split open 3 times yesterday, and on the 3rd try I decided to wrap it in a couple bandaids to keep my finger together. And guess what? IT WORKED! So now its just bruised and sore but the bastard finally held together. Its only about half an inch across but Im almost certain the last time it split I could see more then just blood and skin inside there, not sure what it was, but the man in me is trying to convince myself that it WASNT bone

I thought there was an N missing from the thread title, but then I read the thread.

GEDDIT?

I've never cut myself that badly, just minor scrapes. I did drop a glass shelf on my big toe whilst inebriated.

That did bloody hurt in the morning, think I broke it but you can't do alot with broken toes so yeah... theres my gak story... no blood or interest.

Sorry.

You could be like a bad ass action hero and do your own stitches.

Well today I got some new exacto blades (for warhammer, Blitza is nawt emo ) and wasn't really sure they were sharp. To test it out I grabbed one blade and started sliding it around my index finger. Soon I realized that they were much sharper than I thought, and soon had to go buy some new band aids >_>

I may or may not have headbutted a person who may or may not have been trying to bite off one of my thumbs whilst drunk... got a big lump but they stopped trying to eat my thumb.

My mum has some freakishly sharp german folded steel kitchen knives, at first I didn't believe they were that sharp so to prove this I whacked the blade edge repeatedly against my palm to apparently no ill effect before walking away feeling smug.

Half an hour later I realised there were hundreds of long thin cuts all over my palm where the blade had cut me.

so i was cutting some cardboard with a box cutter for no real reason,and it slipped from the cardboard and now it got a scat on my wrist. funny thing is it didnt rally hurt.although i was pissed with myself and was like 'oh great,you idiot.' sealed it with some medical glues stuff from a pen thing.

Put my finger in a door lock. Yeah...

Not a cut, but I once glued my hand to my forehead; it was a good 80 degrees outside, airconditioning broke, I was modeling some CSM, super glue got over my hand but I didn't realize it, reached up to wipe some sweat off of my forehead, and yeah.....

Had the regular model cleaning cuts myself, though I did just get my foot out the way the other day before my xacto knife stuck blade first into the floor.

King: You talking about your finger reminded me of my brother though. He almost cut one of his fingers off while trying to change a lawnmower blade. He didn't get stitches and pretty much did what you did - self medicate with bandages. Thing was his cut was to the bone and when his finger finally healed it kind of pointed to the left a 'bit' more than it should have. He could give a 'crooked' bird with that finger though.

Doesn't sound like your cut is quite that bad though.

Got shot with an arrow. . .

If this is in the dumbest cut of the year thread...How?

It's always the sign of a good sharp knife if you can't tell that you've cut yourself. Medically speaking, it's best to not cut yourself, of course. If you do, it's better if it's with a sharp knife, not a dull one. That's why I keep mine in good repair.

Also, in third grade, I gave myself a scar on my left index finger with some scissors while building a paper airplane wind tunnel.

I drilled my middle finger yesterday... only a 1mm bit but still bloody sore! Not as bad as when I did my thumb!

An arrow, he was shot by an arrow. It's a flying blade!

How would he not be cut?

this just happened to me today I was about to kick a football what
i didn't know that in front of the ball was a brick
i accidentally kicked the brick broke my toe.

My friend kept on throwing a lock against the ground trying to break it...eventually it became very jagged and torn up and he kept on throwing it and a sharp edge gashed all the way down his index finger.

One time at boy scouts, a scout was whittling and was cutting towards himself, lost control of the knife and it went an inch and a half deep into the webbing(space between index finger and thumb, not sure what really called). That bled alot

i used to have a 30 year old pen knife that was blunt as an kerryman and i would run its blade over my hand in boredom, it never cut me buttt, i recently bought a victorinox whittling blade. I sharpened that baby up for the purposes of whittling(surprise) and absent mindly ran it over my hand...hmm not smart

No, I meant how did he get shot at by an arrow....its pretty obvious that the arrow would cut him

I see what you did there.

The worst cut I got was on my right thumb. It was too late at night to be modelling, and I can't remember what the hell I was doing, but it involved a Leatherman. Anyway, I went to slice something plastic for some reason, but what I didn't notice was that I had it blunt side down. As soon as I pushed the knife, the blade flipped back to its storage position, and sliced of about 2 square centimetres of skin on its way. Reasonably painful, a fair bit of blood, a lot of muffled swearing.

And something that could've resulted in a very dumb cut happened during a science lesson at school, during which we had to cut pieces of potato with a small rectangular blade. Don't ask me how, but after pressing down on the back of the blade and cutting through at least seven potato pieces, I realized I'd actually been pushing the sharp side (Yes, I am quite absent minded). Not a single cut on any of my fingers.

Worst projectile-related injury I had was lawn darts.

Awesome game. Terrible idea.

I was cutting the sprue of my brand new Leman Russ when I slipped with the exacto knife and slit my knuckle open. When you can lift up a flap of skin and see underneath it you have problems. Wrapped it up in toilet paper and tape because I was out of bandaids, it worked and apparantly blessed my tank in the name of Khorne seeing as though it has never been destroyed in a battle. My friend's hammerhead can never penetrate it, even with the badass railgun.

I was playing darts at my friends place, so anyways I didn't even hit the target, it bounced off the wall and hit me in the toe, quite painful but not much blood fortunately.
