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

[DD977GM2]

In honor of alxone and his 1911 mishap, glad you have one by the way Alex
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.
