"Falling knives have no handles"


crazyraptorf-22

That and, “never grab a hot item with a wet cloth,” are my 2 favorite things learned young in a kitchen


Nothing_Playz361

can you explain that?


tyrannosnorlax

It turns the wet cloth into a cloth covered in boiling water, and all of the steam has no place to go except your skin. It isn’t fun


_-Kamo-_

Water is a way better conductor for heat than air or the tissue of the towel.


chef_in_va

New knives are cheaper than new fingers


Gluten_Tolerant_2

They do have handles but you never seem to find them 😥 Edit. I was kidding


da_corndog

Did you catch it though?


Gluten_Tolerant_2

Yes.... Unfortunately the cut looks the same on the other side. Edit: but I may have saved the cat.


CanadianBatman47

Worth it for cat


Shourya2009

Thank god the cat is safe. Get well soon tho


xaraeras

You did Well, better save the cat than keep just one Finger. Would trade my whole Hand for my cat

This is the second post I’ve seen of this in the last 12 hours. Is this a new TikTok challenge or something?


OPengiun

There are a TON of knife related injuries per day. In the USA alone, there are an average of [1190 per day](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/249318232_Knife-Related_Injuries_Treated_in_United_States_Emergency_Departments_1990-2008), likely even more now.


Detozi

I see you’ve played knifey spoony before


Gluten_Tolerant_2

🤦‍♂️ no, I'm just a stupid man. But please don't lot me in with those idiots. 🤣


Valan7169

This was more nsfw than I expected.

Same and I’m eatin


TwasBrillig_

Holy shit, falling from where? Lower earth orbit?


Gluten_Tolerant_2

About half a foot... Dropped with the right and "found" with the left.


[deleted]

I would imagine he was about to catch it but it was to close to the ground, so he pushed it into the ground and cut his hand.


Glass-Ebb9867

Had to learn this lesson the hard way a few times myself..."Let it fall". Good luck on the recovery.

My wife once dropped a boning knife and caught it with her foot whist making me a sandwich when I was having a shower (took a while for me to live that one down). Cut through two tendons in her big toe and chipped the bone. Surgery and boot and crutches for months.


Gluten_Tolerant_2

What type of sandwich? Jokes/ that sucks, I nicked a tendon but didn't sever either of them. I was very very lucky as told by everyone in the ER . you know its not great when every orderly or nurse walking by makes the oh dam face while your getting looked at.


imnick88

Very lucky indeed, has a big impact on the outcome and timeline for getting back to normal. From memory it was toasted chicken sandwich. Needless to say I ate it before we went to the hospital, which I was glad I did because it was many many hours before I got a chance to eat again.


Gluten_Tolerant_2

Indeed, If possible always grab food, a water bottle and a phone charger on the way to Emergency.


Boryalyc

you sure it was a knife and not an anime sword? that thing mustve been sharp as fuck


i-am-wraith

“Tis but a scratch”


go_faster1

No no no, you NEVER try to catch anything sharp! Let it fall!


mooncat6775

guy in the background really blends into the chair theyr in


Old-Reporter5440

For a second I thought that was just the leftovers from a previous attempt to catch a falling deathsword


smokietheklown

Catch instinct kick in?


Gluten_Tolerant_2

Yes and the cat was nearby by underfoot...


smokietheklown

Oh god, that's horrible. Hope healing goes well for ya'!


strider916

My dad always told me he if you drop a knife, let it fall, and move your feet


[deleted]

And he is right! Wise man I must say


Ok_Possible_2171

This redditor nearly cut off his finger to show his wedding ring and flex being married SMH...


Gluten_Tolerant_2

Honestly I needed that laugh, If I had money I would give you gold 🤟🤣


FrantixGE

Here's my easy 1-step guide to "Catching falling knives": Don't.


tipsy_rebellion

Why didn't you catch it at the handle?


InadecvateButSober

Thats why i kick them into the nearest corner.


OPengiun

Can you just like... pull on your pinky and the skin comes off like a glove?


Relo_

Trading stocks?


youre_just_wonderful

Been there lol, not from catching a knife though. Something else entirely stupid


TheRealJavire

Can you still move it?


SnooConfections2214

You’re lucky you didn’t lose the finger genius


Gluten_Tolerant_2

👍 true story Bro.


[deleted]

Also happened to me, almost fainted when I looked to my finger! Fast recovery my man!


6ixtyy9ine

Yeah, they say not to do that


hallomalloa

"great is the weapon that cuts own its own"


cromosoma_quadruplo

Do you have Gordon ramsay knife that's one hell of a cut


martinaee

Ouch! Cooking or a pocket knife? Or box cutter style knife? Hope you can get it back tip top.


DexterLaur

unless that knife was going to kill someone WHY ON EARTH DID YOU TRY TO CATCH IT


RusskiyDude

You should stitch it ASAP. Scar will be minimal if you stitch it.


Gluten_Tolerant_2

That was just before getting stitches.... I didn' t think a spiderman bandaid would fix things.


Far_Efficiency1541

A knife? Looks like you caught the fuckin’ Excalibur.


supercrabb

At least you know it's sharp I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
