Big shout out to gerber

[Nick87]

Very impressed by how sharp the Gerber vital blades are, the results speak for themselves!! Too bad the dumb shit operating it got in a hurry! Need to just start doing my own stitches at this point.

Bummer, Nick. Too bad it was the middle finger though.

Do you remove your own stitches? Growing up my dad refused to take us back to the doc’s to get stitches removed and always did them himself. “Why the hell would we pay someone to do something I can do in five minutes?” Until I cut my finger super deep and got some sort of different style stitch. When he tried to remove those they sucked back into my skin and we had to go to the doc anyway to have them dug out. Mom was pissed. I was too, come to think of it.

 

[Nick87]

Yah I'll take em out myself. If you saw the hack job she did on the stitches you'd think I did them with my one free hand.

Breaking news: razor blades are sharp! Lol, heal up.

Good thing it wasn’t your middle finger… you’d have lost half your vocabulary.

Rub some dirt on it, you’ll be fine.

 

[Adam in Ohio]

Oh man. I hope you heal up soon. I've been there, 3 times. Twice with stitches and once I should have gotten them. The most memorable one was a week before my wedding. My index finger on my left hand looked really ugly. In our wedding pictures of our rings, I had to bury my finger in a bouquet of flowers...

As soon as I did it I didn't even look just yelled F%$K and started heading back to the house.

No super glue? smh

Glad your on the mend.

Thought about it I've only ever used it for smaller cuts? This one was pretty damn deep. Work just as well on bigger slices?

 

[marksjeep]

Medical grade stuff is used as a substitute for stitches. But yea, too deep is a no go.

I’ve done it in combo with a butterfly to do the heavy lifting. Definitely a no go anywhere that articulates.

 

[Redman]

Super glue, rag (usually a dirty one) and electrical tape. Stitches we don't need no stinking stiches!

 

[Sam Colt]

Happened to me within a week of buying the Work Sharp. Take care of yourself!

Nice thing about the human body is it heals itself. Unless of course it gets infected and you get sepsis and die a horrible death. Otherwise it's all good. You may want to be more careful next time. I know that is advice I have found myself wishing I had followed on many an occasion.

 

[MarvB]

unless you get sepsis and die a horrible death! Yeah, there’s always “that”
