I stupidly cut towards myself with my ambitious, went halfway behind my thumb nail.
another accident, though not a spyderco, I slipped off my sharpener and filleted my index finger around the knuckle.
and another one where i was cutting cardboard, resting the card on my leg, I slipped nd my caly 3.5, luckily fairly dull, cut my leg

My worst cut happened to my bank account and hasn't healed yet.

Got my new Spydie Caly3, VG10, and touched the blade with my thumb to see if it was sharp. WOW!

Shaving with a Gayle Bradley.

dropped a paramilitary on my toe years ago... tip in.
cut wasn't huge, but split the nail in half.
to this day, the nail grows split in two, along the paramilitary scar.

Don't catch a knife with your foot...

@ Chuck:
Good gosh, man! I'm hoping you switched to an electric razor after this event. Hope your face is on the mend.

As for my worst Spydie-inflicted injury...

Once upon a time, many moons ago, I failed to fully engage the lock on my SS Harpy. (I was in a hurry and was trying to open my knife as I was pulling on a pair of jeans). In the end, I looked down in horror to see that my right index finger was wedged firmly between the handle and the razor-sharp teeth of the Harpy. After a quick trip to the ER (they know me by name) I returned home with four stitchs across my knuckle (Oh! And did I mention that I was forced to get a tetanus shot?). I later discovered that I had accidently sliced through one of the ligaments/tendons in my knuckle. Because of this, my right index finger has a permanent "arch" at the knuckle. I like to think of it as my personal Spyderco tattoo.

I went with my multiblade monstrosity

That cut was a couple months ago and since it was very clean, it healed right up.

I hope you have full function after you heal. Yours is much worse than mine.

I'm glad to hear that you are no worse for the wear following your shaving incident. As for switching to the "multiblade monstrosity," I hope that you are referring to a Gillette and not the C44 Dyad.
As for my index finger: I still have some difficulty trying to fully extend it due to the trauma to the tendons. Cold weather especially seems to cause more stiffness in the joint. However, it doesn't cause me any pain/discomfort. It just looks kinda' funny.

LOL, yeh a Gillette.

As for the stiffness in your finger, I hope that time will move the stiffness to where it's wanted.

After a night of cigars and cognac, brought my friends downstairs to show my collection. After explaining what the hole is for on the blade, I decided to show them. Everything was well until I showed them how to close a Civilian with one hand. Long story short, an inch long cut, one hour bleeding, medical glue, bandaid, I'm pouring drinks with my left hand and speaking very loudly about how sharp are my knives.

Over the years commercial and charter fishing I've cut myself more times than I want to think about. The only time I've cut myself so far (knock on wood) with a Spydie was with a brand new Delica. The action was tight so I lubed it and backed off the pivot screw ever so slightly. I was working the blade back and forth hoping to "break it in" a bit. Wasn't paying attention and sliced the doody out of my thumb. ER with 6 stitches. The doc commented on what a clean cut it was. Have to look very closely even to see a scar. Sharp knife and a sharp doc. I am Thankful for both.

[Bolster]

Left thumb. 5 stitches.

Opening a zip-tie with a Delica.

It cut the tie fine, it's just that the blade kept on going, after the tie was cut.

(I no longer own any Delicas.)

Quiz for extra points: What's the #1 cutting chore that sends people to the ER room? (According to my physician, who entertained me with factoids while he was sewing up my thumb.)
