pics,pics,pics.

my knives are always biting me.here's some crummy pics of my last "GOOD" one.i was in the woods,about 1hr from my car,2hr from the hospital.it was around 11pm[dark],i had no med kit and was by myself.did i mention i did it with a 5/16in CS gurkha kukri??

if it would've got the tip of my finger instead of my largest knuckle i might have lost something and the fact that i was wearing some nomex aviator gloves definitely helped.havnt seen my own blood like that in a few years.caught me off guard and scared me for a sec.cut up a t-shirt and wrapped it.packed up,hiked out,drove to hospital,drank a beer in the parking lot,drove back,hiked back up around 2am and finished my weekend.

i cut the tendon good but avoided surgery.it is getting better but i still dont have full movement and this was in oct. or nov.

here's the pic i took the next morning while at my lean-to.doc hooked me up good




here's when i got home.dont look bad here.



that knuckle is still twice as big as it used to be.needless to say,i pack a nice med kit now.

i hope your ok and dont have any lingering issues with it down the road and a speedy recovery.keep us posted and let us see some pics of the bite and the culprit if you get a chance.

Ow. Several years ago I lopped off a bit of the tip/side of my left index finger, while chopping some basil for a soup, with a [censored] Miracle Blade. Cheap? Yes. Chinese? Yes. Sharp enough to cut through fingernail and a nice chunk of flesh without skipping a beat? Yes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Wifey (GF at the time) drove me to the ER. I took the piece I had cut off, packed in ice. They were nice to me and did a "digital block" wherein they inject small amounts of lidocaine radially around the base of the finger to numb it. To check if it was numb, the doc had me look away, and asked "Can you feel this?" I say no, and I look back and he's poking my finger with a needle like it's a pin cushion. There was nothing to stitch, just a bleeding stumpy end, so he cauterized the wound with silver nitrate. Got a prescription for vicodin to take the edge off for the next few days. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

They did NOT reattach the piece, and almost laughed that I bothered to bring in something that small. But it never hurts to bring it in and see what they say.

It healed up fine over time. You wouldn't notice that the curvature of that finger is slightly different than the others, unless I told you and you looked real close. Wife still gives me crap every time I go to chop stuff in the kitchen, which I guess is a good nag to be careful and pay attention to what I'm doing.

Looks like you nearly lobbed off you whole finger.

Ouch! Hope that your finger makes it through this with only minor permanent damage. Prayers with you.

Good luck Mac!

dont do that anymore

10 stitches later and I'm fine
funny though, I walk into the clinic with my benchmade grip on and some sheepie nurse said that it was illegal to carry a blade that LARGE
I told her it was a good thing I didnt edc a fixed blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
it bled alot
the doc didnt like me very much because I kept telling her how to do her job
