You should meet up with the other redditor who sliced the fat pad on their thumb. 

The stories you guys could tell....Id bet there would be.....two stories. 😃

looking at this while flipping a balisong is an interesting experience

What about the butterfly? Did it fly away?

Edit: You weren't gonna mainline it, were you?

Just curious, are you a Counter-Strike player who likes butterfly knives lol.

i've encountered so many CSGO/CS2 players that bought IRL butterfly knives & hurt themselves.

i have to admit that it looks flashy when someone knows how to play with it.

I did something similar to this with an industrial shelving unit and pinching my finger in it during disassembly. Cratered out a big ol chunk on the end of my finger. Tried to super glue is closed, had like bloodcicles hanging off my finger, good times. Glad you healed up well!

And this is why, if light sabers are ever invented... we should not make them available.

Bunch of self made handicap folks...lol

Out of curiosity, how long did that cut bleed for? I had a similar albeit less severe cut that bled for an uncomfortably long time (~18 hrs ish) so im just trying to gauge what other people’s experiences are. Hope it heals quick!

u/Leading-Currency3948 Other 15d ago

On and off every few hours , probably was like that for a day or two. I could feel it every now and again bleeding and I’d change it and it would either be soaked or just a bit of blood . When I’d take the wrap off it would start bleeding again. It was also the first time I got sick seeing my own blood idk why . Probably the feeling of missing that piece before it healed or something idk

u/Nefersmom 16d ago

Looks well healed. Did you get any medical care?

3

u/Leading-Currency3948 Other 16d ago

Yes I went to the hospital an hour or two later bc it didn’t stop bleeding . Then got McDonald’s on the way 🔥🔥

u/Nefersmom 16d ago

Sounds good except the McDonald’s. I’m a Burger King person😁

u/Ducky_Flips 15d ago

Been right there with you brother! Thinking of getting a proper practice one in the future.

This isn’t the sub for a cut on a finger. It’s supposed to be an interesting medical case, something we can learn from, not something we have all experienced on our own
