5 Stitches in the joint-crease of my middle finger on my left hand. Hit an artery, and might have nerve damage. Complete stupidity on my part. I was trying (for the first time) to cord wrap a handle. Needless to say, I slipped up and butchered myself. The thing that sucks is that I have no insurance (as I just lost my job...not that they paid benefits anyway). But, I can say this: It is a true testament of the SWICK's sharpness. I didn't even realize I was cut until I the blood began to, literally, spray. Actually, it didn't even hurt. I easily lost a pint of blood by the time I actually got stitched. I have to see a specialist next week to see about nerve damage (which would totally suck, since I play guitar, and more money to pay out on top of it all). In the end, the cord wrap turned out looking like shit, to top it all off. Oh well. You play with knives for 20 years and you're bound to cut yourself eventually. BUT, 20 YEARS! Good track record, eh????
