I did something similar about 15 years ago, the end result was much worse though. Ended up severing 3 tendons in my wrist. I now have a nice scar from where they had to open me up to repair it and people look at me odd sometimes when they see it, like it was intentional.Darrell wrote:I was a dumbass with my Leek a couple of weeks ago--I was using it to cut a cable tie in a tight space, should have been using a pair of side cutters instead. The cable tie snapped, the needle point of the blade hit the side of my other hand's thumb, must've gone in an inch! It didn't hit anything vital, but boy, did it bleed... Prolly should have got stitches, I just washed it out and let it bleed a while, then put compression on it, and taped it closed with waterproof tape. I hit it with peroxide and povidone/iodine a few times, it healed right up.Cybrludite wrote:Only problem I've had with my Kershaw Leeks is that the tip comes to such a needle point
