I don't want to be that guy, but "Don't drop your knife" tends to be one of those things you got to learn to do to handle knives. Otherwise getting one of those knives that don't flip open with a light tap are more expensive than the surgery it takes to close the wound from getting slashed by one of those knives. So something around $500. I got a couple of blades myself, though I'll be honest when I say I like my knives that are easy to whip out at a moment's notice. Cheap, sure, but stab wounds from a $40 or a $200 switch blade aren't really different.

Yeah, you pay for quality and features. It was an accident, honestly, a careless one. I was cutting opening some boxes and my grip wasn't firm I guess.

But a stab wound is a stab wound, and since you seem like a 'connoisseur' of knives you'll probably cringe/laugh at me, but the knife in question is a Gerber knife. IT LOOKED NICE AND IT WAS CHEAP. SHUT UP.

Blade has served me well thus far, what from all my abuse I put through all my knives. All my knives are just partially for self-defense, their main purpose being 'work' knives.
