I have a swiss pocket knife, one of those that comes with a lot of built-in tools.
Yesterday I was opening the boxes in which my new comp came. I was using the large blade of the knife. After cutting the tapes that kept the boxes closed I wouldn’t need my pocketknife anymore, so I went closing it. I have done it hundreds of times without looking at the knife, it’s just a small push on the back of the blade and it’ll jump back to its closed position faster than an eye blink.
Accidentally, I pushed the sharp side instead…
Anyway, I didn’t get big wounds. It was more about pain. I was even typing with my harmed hand yesterday. I didn’t post it yesterday 'cause I thought it was very stupid.
I’m starting a collection of cutting objects. I keep cutting myself with them, but it’s always superficial cuts so I don’t get scars.
To date, I have a Victorinox 1-3405 pocket knife (my fave, the cutting tools are a blade and a pair of scissors), a silver dagger and a sabre-shaped letter opener from the late XIX century, a crystal rock (cuts glass! Yay!), assorted kitchen knives of all kinds, and I’m currently saving to buy a scimitar someday.
I also learned to prepare a glass-based substance that spilled on a wire will make it a very sharp cutting object. A nylon string wetted in it will cut electrical wires as if they were made of butter.
I know what you mean Ren, I have a throwing dagger 4 large lock-knives and a Katana. For christmas I’m getting a Chinese Broadsword and a Halberd. Yay.

good one
If the blades sharp enough, and you only pushed in one direction, really wouldnt cause any problems, nice clean cut…jaggedy ones are extremely painful.

A few months ago I was opening something (I don’t remember what) wrapped it plastic with scissors. My sister was bithcing on the phone in front of me and durning one of her “OMG!” outbusts I looked up and stabber the scissors accross my palm. Now I have a very high resistance to pain, but on a scale of 1-5, I’d say it was like a 5. I had to rush to the doctors and get liquid stitches.
When I was 17 I pierced my hand accidentaly with a very small shard of broken glass. Still, it took me some blood out, and it was the worst pain I’ve felt in my whole life…
This is why people shouldn’t play with knives…
Flaming knives.
