The Bad, The Good, and The Ugly

The Bad...
While showing my brother my Gesshin Kagekiyo k-tip gyuto the other night, I managed to drop it (important safety tip, show of your knives BEFORE opening the Jack).

The Good...
I kept it from hitting the tile floor


The Ugly...


Be well,
Mikey

I'm wearing shoes in the kitchen from now on.

Glad that you are alright.

Jay

Just be glad you were wearing pants.

Gonna have a badass scar to show off. Be glad it wasn't a cleaver.

Ouch!! Don't "kick" a falling knife?

yikes...have a speedy recovery!

Was any wedging noticeable?
Have a speedy recovery.

Snap!
That's a winner!
See, if it would've been a dull knife you wouldn't have been cut.........
.....so we've all been wrong. Dull knives are safer!





for your feet.

Goddamn Jack! I know the feeling, once dropped my Heiji 240 and sliced a vein by my ankle. It was like a horror movie, blood everywhere. Get well quick man!

Geeeeeeez...I have the very same reflex....trying to break items' fall with my foot.

I hope you get fixed quick.

That's why I sleep with my boots on.

Snap!

How's the knife? I have a feeling my instinct would be to save the knife, too.

You have funny looking toes.
Are you part hobbit?

a friend of mine in LA here dropped a knife i had sharpened for him while working... it went through his shoe and broke the tip on the ground below the shoe. Maybe steel toed clogs in the kitchen

Oooo, that knife has extreme tip too!

The knife came out of it great, not a chip or dint to be seen. And no, I didn't notice any wedging

Be well,
Mikey

Where's that guy who kept pushing serrated knives and glass cutting boards? He may have been on to something.

Yeah, if I dropped a Cutco, I'd just let it fall.

Did you chastise him for not using his foot better to protect your magnificent work.

The agony of defoot.

Respect!

Did you also closed your eyes praying it landed spine first before looking?

Wow. Wishing you a fast recovery. I've rescued a few things with my feet, but this lends a new perspective.

Get well soon, luckily it will not affect much your Holiday season...I hope. Be well

I'm still reeling from the photo ... Looks pretty nasty!

I just hope it heals well. Keep it clean, etc, etc.

Definitely need to rethink my summer kitchen footware :eyebrow:

:scared4:

I must say that your luck is not that bad...could've had all that damage to your foot and hosed the knife.

Trouble in Hawaii most people don't wear shoes. Mike lucky it was a light blade:O

Wow Mikey, wishing you a quick recovery!
