Don't feel bad. I received 4 stitches very recently to a finger that I cut through to the bone by a razor sharp gerber liner lock folding knife. That's why I don't trust liner locks. Grip them the wrong way and you unlock them while in use. As a matter of fact the one and only folder I now am willing to carry is my Benchmade Mini RSK MK1 with the AXIS lock. It's the only lock I trust these days. I have been to the doctor or ER 28 times for stitches so far in my life. I won't even tell you how many of those involved knives. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> On the plus side though, I am very skilled stopping major bleeding and properly applying both butterfly sutures and durabond (from the other 28 times when I didn't go in for stitches) with one hand. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
