Man that’s hard to look at. I’m not an MD however I’ve had medical staples to button me up in the past. Tissue adhesive is incredible, too. But for $7.50 it’s hard to beat the stapler especially if you’re going to patch up a boo-boo on yourself. It’s a great item to have in a first aid kit.

Almost forgot. I’ve carried my Spyderco Police Model with the serrated blade for over 30 years and it has never let me down. It’s made in Seiki Japan. This Spyderco carries very well but so does a near infinite amount of models and makers of contemporary knives. You have many choices which I think is a good thing. You’ll probably buy a few before you get that Ah-Ha moment.
Good luck

You guessed it, it was the kitchen table. lol
I have some of those, but at the time I didn't feel like there was enough subcutaneous tissue there for it to work, just skin over the joint. I was actually pretty lucky, I just missed the tendon.

got this last year and Cary daily horizontal appendix. I used the rubberized nylon straps with pull the dot snaps. Very comfortable, leave pockets empty and faster and probably stronger then a folder.
Nice knife! I also carry a fixed blade in exactly this same way. Those pull the dot snap loops have been a revelation. This is my preferred fixed blade carry, a Lionsteel M4, also in M390. Got an Armatus kydex sheath for it since it only comes with a leather sheath

Been a knife snob for quite a while and still revert back to Buck 112 light more often than not.

The plastic iterations of the 112, like the 112LT, 422 and the basic Slim are handy.
My son still likes the old red handled Boy Scout model I bought him as a teen, and I happened across a Like new black handled 422 a while back in a cutlery store. It was in a large bowl of loose folders at the front counter, most of which were the result of misc finds at estate sales. The black 422 didn't have its nylon belt sheath, but it appeared brand new. if it had ever been used to cut anything, you couldn't tell by the pristine blade surfaces and the the factory edge. The plastic handle was unmarked, as well.
Naturally, it's not nearly as slim in the hand as the slim, which makes for a chunky outline in a front pocket, but it has a better feel in the hand because of its similar width to the standard 112.
I'm a bit conflicted on the Slim variations. I have Slim versions with both nail nick and thumb stud, and 420HC and S30V, with plastic and Micarta scales. The slim profile with a pocket clip is handy, granted, but the Anniversary 112 and the Finger Groove 112 are very comfortable and reassuring in the hand.
There aren't many reasobale EDC cutting tasks that can't be tackled with the diminutive 3" clip point. The upgraded S30V steel and the slightly thicker handle aren't a bad compromise, though.
Probably why I have so many Buck 112 variations and Spyderco Delicas, comes to that.

Emerson all the way for a EDC folder.
1. the folder at the desk is a fully serrated Police model.
As a retiree, living in a house on a one block dead end street in a better section of town, it is for shtf if things fall apart while I am at the computer.
2. I have multiples in different configurations. The one at the front door is plain edge for potential carry when the alert level is bright orange and not red.
