[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3766608, member: 27673"] I was headed out the door to work one morning and I remembered that the wife was going to trim and put some deer meat in the dehydrator for jerky and figured that I'd give her knives a quick touch-up on the paper wheels mounted on my grinder. Was in a hurry and apparently wasn't paying attention for a split second and I angled the edge into the oncoming buffing wheel and it grabbed and stuck the knife into my belly just to the right of my naval going through my t-shirt and work shirt. All I could see was the handle sticking out of my shirt and the ring of blood getting bigger on my shirt.......I wasn't in much pain and thought it might be best to leave it in because I thought it might start bleeding bad if I pulled it out. Figuring it wouldn't hurt to have someone go to the hospital with me I went back in the house and woke the wife and she screamed and about had a fit when she saw the knife handle sticking out of my shirt and the all the blood.......while she was getting dressed I poured her a mug of coffee and we headed to the car. She wanted to drive but I told her that I could but when I was about to scrunch down and slide into the Olds it dawned on me that the knife was pretty sharp and that it may slide around in me while I was trying to get in the car so I went ahead and pulled it out and gave it to her thinking that the ER people might want to see how much of the blade had actually gone into me. We walked into the ER with me keeping pressure on the wound under my shirt and her holding a bloody knife and they hustled us back to one of the curtained cubicles and called for the doc and called the cops also because of it being a knife wound.......they wanted to see if I had done any damage to internal organs so they wheeled me back to have a CT or MRI done (can't recall which) and luckily found from the results that I hadn't. What saved me from organ damage was that the knife blade was thin almost like a filet knife and when the wheel caught it it bent it upwards slightly and it went in at a angle and traveled in me more horizontally than straight in......the doc cleaned and sewed me up, the cops did their report, I called work and told them that I'd be off a day or two and headed back home. I told the wife to get the knife when we left and not to wipe it off.......it's been hanging on a nail above the workbench for several years and you can still plainly see the line on the blade of how far it went in which was 3 1/4". I still use the paper wheels on a grinder but needless to say I take my time pay very close attention to what I'm doing. [/QUOTE]
