Life is no good if you can not make fun of yourself, so ....... With my new direction in to becoming a high end knife store this happens this morning. First thing is when I was growing up if I would drop and break anything of my Mothers my Father would give me a good beating. With that in mind you grow up with a natural reflex to catch or soften the fall of whatever it is you are in the process of dropping with your foot. I get a SOG Quake XL in this morning and am trying to open it with no luck, then I figure out the lock is on. Now I got it, open it and wham.... opens with enough force that I drop it, out comes my foot and of course the Quake XL goes right in to the front of my shin. Dad was a butcher so unless some finger is hanging by the last bit of skin I consider most cuts minor, this was a little different. Knife goes all the way to the bone and I am bleeding like a stuck pig, Call Stat Health to see if they stitch, which they do, head on over in and out in one hour with 6 stitches, nicely done Stat Health !

In another lifetime ago, I was a line cook at Chili's. I was talking to a manager in front of a prep table and somehow a knife got knocked off. We both went to grab for, thankfully we mutually realized the mistake and pulled our hands back. I'll always remember saying to him, "You're a manager, what's your excuse?"
