Bill,
I have had the pleasure of amputating the tip of my ring finger on my support hand with, I'm sorry to admit it was another makers knife, the nimravus by benchmade......I was cutting a frozen milkyway for my daughter and the genius surgeon put his finger under the blade and a really clean slice through skin, tissue and bone....3-5 minutes later the pain was magnificent and I did a digital block at home then saw the hand surgeon....relief was sooooooo nice!
Doc-T should remember that little performance in Miami!!
