KNIFE MAKER
Ok I finally went and did it. Buffing away on my 3600rpm buffer, was turning the knife around to go at the other side and suddenly the blade was not in my hands and had drawn blood on (3) three limbs- hand gash, point into right thigh and spun down where spine hammered left shin bone. I've driven a few into the garage floor (always point first) but never into myself.
I was mostly upset that I had to stop and bandaid-up before finishing blade, but looking back, it could have been worse and I better learn to be a little safer. I have a leather apron on order now and wanted to just remind everyone that a buffer can be pretty dangerous and to wear PPE.
