OUCH!
I am afraid of that, when it bites too much due to design it has to put down. Knowing when to is important. Don't want to get infection due to that. How often one clean and sterilize EDC knives?Usually, when I get bitten, the respective knife becomes one of my favorites

Mine looked more like the second one broad edge like hatchet, with handle moves 360 rest on back/spine of knife with fully opened. It was one of Benchmade. Remember the butterfly mark.
I like chef knife, folding and love those with serrated fine edge.
So your folding knife "cut you" while you were using it to cut and prune branches?
I would call that knife "Learn to Use Me Correctly or Get a Fixed Blade"
Seriously. Learn to use it correctly or get a fixed blade.
Clean and sterilize the cut, not the knife.

At this point I'd throw the knife out, for your own safety.

Most SAKs come with some level of "blood curse"; it's inherent in the design.
Some scholars hypothesize it's due to centuries of Swiss neutrality.

Cut means foreign bodies enter blood stream, cleaning wound helps healing, can't kill that which enter circulation.
Someone can enlist knife cut borne diseases, will be grateful. Tx!

About 40 years ago, I had a hatchet that seemed to like to bite. I had a knife-maker friend work on the grind and he cut his finger. He, of all people, should know how to handle sharp tools. Later, he saw a bandage on my finger and he asked if it had gotten me too. It had indeed. Years later, I gave it to a colleague who had admired it. That was the last I heard of it.

You can't keep the knife clean while using it for work. If it is a real problem, consider getting a fixed blade or wearing cut resistant gloves.

Yeah, I gotta admit I voted right after reading the thread title .
On the topic though, the knives I've cut myself the most on are balisongs, but that's on me. I have a CRKT Hissatsu folder that I love, but it had a really tight AO spring that made it hard to open with one hand, so I removed the spring. It opened really smoth after that. Then I realize that the needle point of the knife sits really shallow in the handle when closed and when carried tip up, you gotta make sure your hand isn't close to the tip when you grab the knife in case it opened in the pocket. Almost makes you think the tight spring was put in the knife with that in mind.

Hard to do paper work with gloves on. Clean means rubbing it off on pant or cloth after the job, then Yes!
Cleaning as in sterilized (germ free), No.
That knife had blood more an any other that I own.

Maybe just get a letter opener
Sorry, new to this, did not get it!
It was the idea that was bugging me, whenever I see fancy knife and want to buy it. Can't get it out. Some knives are clumsy and blood seeking.
