bosco Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 well, I am sure everyone has the brand that they prefer. I love Zwilling J.A. Henckels knives and have been building up my collection over he past year. these suckers are awesome. I have a master chef electric sharpener that I use, until recently I purchased a Henckels knife sharpener. I ran my blades through this manual sharpener..... OMG these things are loving the new sharpener. They are sharper than they have ever been. Today I used my large scimitar knife and it cuts amazing through meat. I use it to cut up blade roast (chuck) prior to grinding. Anyways..... I threw it in the sink with all my grinder attachments to soak. I reached in the water and the bade side was pointing up but I couldn't see it with the soap water. My finger slid right down the blade cutting about a 1/4" deep into my finger tip. It has been bleeding for the past hour, but finally starting to close up. I probably could use a stitch. Lesson learned today..... Sharp knives do not sit in sink filled with soap water ever again!!!! these are my blades with commercial handles. I love them and have almost ever blade in the set https://www.zwilling.ca/zwilling/knives-and-accessories/knives/twin-master Quote
5698k Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 ALWAYS wash your knives individually, and by hand. It'll help prevent these accidents from happening, and they'll stay sharper longer. Robert 1 Quote
CeramicChef Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 +1^ Ouch! bosco, you've just learned a lesson the same way I did! You're in august company my friend. Get well. Quote
tony b Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 If you don't go get stitched up (which it sounds like you should!!), make sure that you put some good antibiotic cream on it and keep it bandaged well! Last thing you need at this point is to get it infected! Quote
kjs Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Ouch!!! If it doesn't close up on its' own use some super glue. Thanks for the tips. Quote
tinyfish Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Thats sucks. Use some crazy glue. Quote
ckreef Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Double ouch. I agree with the Super glue. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT Quote
bosco Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Posted November 21, 2015 man it was a good one!!! It has closed up but I can easily reopen it if I move the finger the wrong way. live and learn.... sharp knives are great but scary as all hell 1 Quote
MacKenzie Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Boaco, you get that finger infected and you won't be able to unpack your KKs IF they arrive. Quote
ckreef Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Boaco, you get that finger infected and you won't be able to unpack your KKs IF they arrive. No worries. There will be enough people there to help. All he'll need to do is work the camera and direct the traffic.

MacKenzie Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks for the moral support Mac!!! , your days are numbered. or maybe I should say our days are numbered. Quote
tony b Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 OK, it's day 2, so how's the finger?? Quote
bosco Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Posted November 22, 2015 crazy glued it shut, bled all night, and has opened twice today. I think I have some nerve damage to tell you the truth Quote
MacKenzie Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 I think you'd better seek professional help before more damage is done. That's my suggestion and I'm sticking with it. Quote
bosco Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Posted November 22, 2015 I will give it the week to see what happens. Lots of polysporn on it now and I have it covered. I think that it is just fresh cut still and still hurts Quote
