    Wow, I can relate to being the dead bug in the last panel.

    When I was doing historical re-enactment, we’d finish every night off with a knife fight to cool down.
    More actual blood was shed in those last ten minutes than in the preceding 2-3 hours of belting one another with swords, axes and spears (none of that prissy foam for us). Knife fights are brutal, because it’s much easier to stab somebody somewhere awful, than you’d think – so Bug might be in with a better shot than he thinks πŸ˜‰

    Second panel: my mom very nearly did that once. She missed by a couple inches and the (quite large) knife stuck upright in the wooden floor, giving everyone quite a shock.

      Hell, second panel did happen to me. I was a kid, ’bout 7-8 years old and was bringing stuff from the fridge to the kitchen table for breakfast. I was carrying way too much and when I set the stuff down on the table the knife that was on top of the butter fell down and impaled my foot. And it’s not like it was a particularly sharp knife, just an ordinary knife you use when you eat, but it stood there, pointing up at my shocked face. I remember going to my parents, crying. I don’t remember if I pulled the knife out or if my parents had to do it, but I’m pretty sure they though it was funny. Those bastards.

      Hah, I barely avoided it by luck myself one Thanksgiving. I dropped a carving knife once and it hit point down, going right into my shoe and between my big toe and the next one. It just stuck there and dad and I stared at it in disbelief.

      Uh…I got a sliver in my foot once. That sort of hurt…a bit.

      Great, now I feel like Sheriff Brody in Jaws on the boat with the Fish guy and the Shark guy comparing scars…

        I stepped on a 2×4 with a nail sticking out of it when I was about 8.

        A reverse knife drop – right through my shoe and into my foot.

    Man! Killed by a knife that’s not even full tang.
    They just glued the poker to the handle.

    Shouldn’t they be wearing safety glasses in the dagger factory? (They appear to be double-edged, which could make them daggers, not knives.)

    Which brings up props to be given. Nice attention to detail on using a single-edged blade when making PB&J and double-edged blades when knife fighting.

    Opponent in panel 3 looks like an amateur. You swing the knife point upward to get into the vulnerables. Not that I would know.

    For once, I can completely 110% agree. Heck, give the other guy a paper and maybe I’d stand a chance.

    … Nope. I’d die of 1000 papercuts first.

    What are you doing in a knife factory to begin with? Are you taking a tour or something?

      Also a quote from Herbert’s Dune: “Killing with the point lacks artistry, but don’t let that hold your hand when the opening presents itself.”

    Yeah, I’d be like Bug. Whenever I handle anything sharp I tend to get all stabby or slicey–meaning my hands tend to get stabbed or sliced with whatever sharp object I’m wielding.

    Heck, I have no trouble suffering knife knife injuries without a knife πŸ˜›
