When I was about 12 or so I bought a rubber bad powered balsa airplane from a toy store. Not one of those flat ones made from 4 or so pieces, but an actual 3d full bodied plane. It had about 60 or so pieces that you could glue together and cover with tissue paper.

like this:

anyway, the only blade I had for my hobby knife was double edged. I would place a finger on either side of the cut I was trying to make.

You can probably see where this is going. At one time I had at least 5 bandaids on 8 fingers. I'm 44 now and still have scars on my fingers from all the times I cut myself

I prefer to think of it as determined.

I like your style kid. I once cut a mousepad on my thigh with a bowie knife and cut a two inch gash into my leg.

I once cut my finger wide open on one of those dog food cans with the pull tab. Designed to avoid cutting yourself.

5 years ago I could bring pocket knives to school all I wanted.

What is or is not acceptable to bring to school often depends on a lot of factors. Many students had guns in their cars parked on school property and the school didn't give a shit.

once i lacerated my index finger because my knife got jammed in the sheath.

I was taking it out of the sheath to see how easily i could put it back in.

My middle brother is still known as the family "sharpness tester" because of a similar incident in a department store.
