Pullstart 62,835 #1 Posted August 12, 2020 Just slipped off a zip tie with my brand new knife and popped my left hand. The local urgent care measured 3 cm wide and 2 cm deep. They sent me away to the ER in the big city. No fun, the job wasn’t even done! 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And now this Well heal up quickly and let's go a little longer before you do something like this again Without all these trips to the emergency room you could probably buy another tractor or two 2 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #14 Posted August 12, 2020 Use a sidecutter to shortened tie straps. easier and more safety Buddy. it‘s a honor you working hard, but never forget, even Rome wasn‘t built on one Day.. 😉 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,835 #15 Posted August 12, 2020 I do use side cutters to trim them generally, but in this instance I was cutting temporary ties from the stand and didn’t want to risk cutting the tube! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bc.gold 3,403 #20 Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) This be a good test for that knife, they claim the sharper the blade the less of a scar it leaves behind. My buddy from Alberta dropped in for a visit after spending the day in the big city ( Vancouver ) while there had purchased a new Buck knife. At our house Nick pulled out the knife to show me, my dad said, hey let me see that, so I pass it over to the old man and he pulls a jewellers loupe from his shirt pocket to inspect the knife. Then he proclaims, the blade looks like a f&^ed up cross cut saw. Edited August 13, 2020 by bcgold 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZXT 2,401 #21 Posted August 13, 2020 Man, this is what.. The 10th time you've damaged yourself in the last couple of months? When did it all start? When I caused you to fall off the ladder? Glad it didn't get you worse! Bunch of arteries in that area that you could've hit. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
