So glad I'm not the only one. Ugh. I once pulled my keys out of my pocket, and had the keyring grab the thumb peg of my pocket knife on its way out of the pocket. It opened my knife straight up. It was only like a 2 1/2" blade, but it was sharp as a razor. I'm lucky I didn't sit down and have it stab me in the gut. But anyway, a few minutes later, I had forgotten I'd already pulled my keys, so I reached into my pocket to grab them. And slid my thumb right down that blade. I can show you the scar sometime.

A few months ago, I was at my old house trying to get some stuff as we had just moved. One of the items I needed was my wire-frame shelf. I had attached a piece of hardboard to one side of it to act as a back for one of the shelves. I had drilled small holes in it and ran black zip ties through the holes, around the wires of the shelf system. Well, I was trying to cut through one of the ties with my pocket knife and for some reason had my left hand up near it. Well, it cut through, and I effectively stabbed my left hand in the web before my thumb. Like a half-inch deep. I can still feel the nerves healing. That one sucked especially bad.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I know both of our accidents could have been avoided. I was being completely careless in my second one. And I saw it coming. I thought, "Maybe I shouldn't put my hand there because I might..." bam. Idiot.

Anyway, glad you're getting better.
