    Had to get 3 stitches on my thumb because I ordered an Opinel knife and within 5 seconds of opening it I tried to cut the plastic cover off of a yard stake and folded it straight down onto my finger. Weirdly enough it didn't ever hurt despite splitting part of it open.

      Yeah, that happens with sharp blades. What hurts is when your skin tears. A clean slice doesn't feel like anything until you notice the blood.

          Thankfully I don't have firsthand experience on that one. Wasn't actually sure how that felt.

            I've had that after surgery, it's really bad when they cut straight though the muscle and literally staple you back together

      Oh yeah, I got one of those too and didn't know you're supposed to rotate the metal bit round to lock it in place.

      Fortunately managed not to injure myself finding out.

        Wow I didn’t know about the metal bit until right now.... I mean I’ve only had it for like 3 weeks and haven’t really cut anything since but damn I feel stupid

          If it makes you feel any less stupid, I think it took me longer than 3 weeks to figure out!

          They are handy little pocket knives though.
