To add to the x-acto horror:

I was cutting cardboard for a Space Hulk board. Yes I was cutting towards my
hand when WAM the knife lunged into my ring finger's knuckle. It cut right
into the tendon. It bled like a sieve and, of course, needed stitches.

When I got to the hospital I informed her that I had seen the white interior
underneath my skin. She informed me that I cut the tendon and that it would
need a stitch as well. WELL getting a stitch in a tendon really sucks. They
use a special tool that spreads the skin apart so that you can see the tendon.
As she stitched the tendon the intern assisting at the time had to constantly
jab a bandage into the gab to absorb the blood. Once the tendon was stitched
she was then able to stitch the skin above it.

The worse part was how retarded I felt realizing I almost lobbed off a
finger because I wanted a new board piece ;-)
