Heh, I bouhgt my leatherman wave, opened the package and flipped open a knife balde to see how it worked and saw drops of blood on the desk. Hadn't even used it yet and cut myself.
Same here, but I was cut by the f@%&! plastic packaging. I'm tempted next time I get a new leatherman to throw the whole thing into a fire and let the plastic melt/burn off.

AAAahhhhh... thermoformed clamshell packaging. Done the same thing myself. Good thing liquor doesn't come in that packaging. Don't know if I'd die of thirst or blood loss first.
In a total moment of chaos, I once knocked a butcher's knife off the counter, missing my knee high daughter by inches. The knife grazed my big, bare toe as the point sliced into the floor. For a split second... I think my heart stopped. Decent amount of blood, but little real damage.
Let us know how your fire idea works! Don't forget to mention how you built it. No cheatin' now.
