This thread is for admitting your clumsiness and boneheaded maneuvers. Here’s my latest.

I recently added a [Victorinox Bundeswehr Trekker](https://smile.amazon.com/Victorinox-One-Hand-Trekker-German-Army/dp/B00D6LJR90/ref=pd_sim_sbs_196_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=K73ACRG5D01AFGDFXDSE) to my collection. This is a knife that allows you to open it with one hand. I tried the one-handed opening several times in fhe five days I’ve had it. Woiks like a chahm! Today I needed to cut the tape on the box of my new external drive. It’s a great chance to use the knife for the first time! I try to open it one-handed, while holding the box in my other hand. Didn’t quite get it, and my middle finger got under the blade. Blood ensued.
