This being the BlackPowder forum, I think what you're supposed to do is pile about 30 gr of ffff on it, then touch it off with a hot poker. It'll cauterize and be just fine. That's the way the tough guys did it in the old movies.[:@]

Cayenne pepper works too, maybe better.

I heard black pepper would stop leaks, but not blood.

cay. your right about not knowing when you cut your self and not know it. I do it all the time at work. with how sharp I keep those knives, I am surprised I don't need to go see a doctor.

Let me guess, The wife found out about the new englander, Ran you down and the only way you could stop the knife was to grab the blade... Right?

nope, she still don't know. I figure if she gives me too much crap, I'll sell it.

I just did something stupid. I got a cool hole in my finger. that scare is going to be a keeper
