My stupid moment for the day.......alxoneish style GRAPHIC PICS

In honor of alxone and his 1911 mishap, glad you have one by the way Alex[Beer]
Im posting my stupid moment of the day for you all to enjoy a laugh at my expense.

GRAPHIC PICS BELOW

I doubt anyone knows that Im slowly and by slow I mean one lesson a year maybe,
learning to be a knifesmith. My best friend is a budding amatuer knifesmith with
incredible skills. He is learning from a local knifesmith/metalsmith and this guy
is phenomenal. So tonight was the 2nd time I have been bitten so to speak
while I was learning more on knifemaking.

I was actually done cleaning up the edge of my tomahawk and almost done
buffing the edge to a nice razor edge. The one corner of the edge needed just
a bit more buffing so I put an odd angle on it and then it got caught on the wheel
and shot that ****er across the room, not before it decided to use the pointed
backside of the tomahawk to tear a perfectly good pair of jeans and then slice me
open. My first concern was an artery since I could shave hair with the main edge
of the hawk, then was the fact my wife would be pissed I had to go get stiches.

Well the VA ER room was an easy night. No crazy stories to listen to from
others and I was in at 2100 and out by 2210.
The doc said I was smart in coming in and as soon as he started cleaning it,
it opened up more then in the pic, so Im glad that I went in when I saw that.

The tomahawk in question......the pointed rear part is what got me. [Bang]

the only logical thing to do is give me the tomahawk. it is much too dangerous for you.

another one of those: "can never be too careful" things...but crap happens! glad you are okay![Beer]

Might actually be a good thing it was so sharp. We all know that dull blade cuts are even worse. Glad you're OK. I just about sliced the end of my index finger off a couple weeks ago cleaning my antelope. I was just pulling the Wyoming knife out of the sheath and hadn't even started on the antelope! I so smrt! [LOL]

Don't want to do that Alex- it literally would be "The thread that wouldn't die".

When buffing/grinding always buff/grind AWAY from a thin edge.

Glad it wasn't worse DD[Beer]

Woah, well at least you know you won't die without scars (chicks dig 'em!)... by the way, sweet looking hawk, when you're all healed up would you mind if I bothered to put an order in for some CO-AR15 member made tomahawk awesomeness... my last 'hawk was lost in a tragic boating accident [ROFL1].
Lesson learned, you can never be too careful, and even then you can still get hurt. Glad it wasn't worse.

Today , the leg is rather sore since the pointed part and not sharp at all is what bit me.
Even as clean as it was I think it was more of an impact, feels like a solid charley horse. [BooHoo]
Im just waking up since I cant get off this night schedule. [Bang]

Here is a link for those interested in this hawk. I love it and I carry it with me when I go to work as a means of survival or defense if I run out of ammo
I am getting ready to modify the handle with a much better grip set up.
Im going to shorten it and then change out the cloth tape hockey or lacrosse
style buildups to paracord wrap and it will stay in play with either a bit of epoxy or knotches in the handle.

The worst I ever saw, with a blade, was a youtube video where the guy was demo-ing chopping with a big knife, and he cut his finger off in a nice close-up!

Hope you got a tetanus booster while you were at the ER.

You better redeem yourself by chewing out those stitches in 7-10 days and forgo letting some poor ER worker yank them out.

Shoulda done it Rambo 3 style... open a round by biting the bullet and pulling it out of the casing, then pour the powder into the open wound and light it to cauterize it.

I had a tetnus back in July when I opened my middle L finger to the bone with
my everyday carry knife....didnt hurt one bit and didnt feel it except for the
large amount of blood trickling down when it happened.

Yep, only pussified people would go to a "specialist." Should have taken care of it yourself, and if you couldn't have, start digging a hole. ;)

I was held at pregnancy point to go to the ER and get it stitched up [ROFL1]

My hoochiemomma is almost ready to pop, maybe a week left.
