Reflex, didn't even think about it. Unfortunately.
Handle would have been a little less scary I guess, but I'll take it
Knife safety is important. I should follow it next time. I like my fingers, and would enjoy keeping them.
Cat tax

I once "caught" a knife i dropped, with my foot. They way you would with your phone or something. Bad idea.

My dad does this all the damn time. Hes 55 and I keep thinking one of these times hes gonna go for it and his reflexes will be slower and...

Caught a falling knife today at work by the handle. Never felt so stupid to try to catch. But it`s the most expensive knife in the kitchen..

Fuck you, not because of the post, but because of that Cat tax, it took me a good half a second of "what the oh my lord i hate this man"
abacab87
I do this anytime I'm working on a customer's new floor. My foot will heal, it is hear impossible to fix a floor.
infamousxiii
its traditionally 1 cat, not 5.
BloodyTanookiSuit
It's cat 5e. The e means extra cats.
Neogreenyew
I dropped a tool and caught it once. It was a machete. Caught it by blade. It was sideways. Fingerprints are still misaligned.
Neogreenyew
Oh it was also a machete from vietnam war and was rusty as hell
Jedimika
Dropped a 1/4"thick 12" steel plate and tried to break it's fall with my foot... Fortunately it clipped a shelf and missed.
theFOXanonymous
Dropped a soldering iron once, similar story... except for the part where my hand was nearly completely destroyed.
Koshunae
You arent really an experienced solderer until you do that. Good news is, you probably only do it once.
TheMortiestMortyfromC137
Gloves for the win. I bought a pair of $50 gloves to replace $10 gov issued ones, they've saved my fingers more than once

dunewolf
Pre heat oven to 400F - not knowing cake made day before was in oven.. Open door to put food in when oven dinged, see cake, grab cake, burn.
dunewolf
1st and 2nd degree burns on fingers.. still cooked food / ate before driving self to ER for final treatment/bandages...
GringoMandingo1
I was always taught you drop a tool hands go up and freeze. Most tools will be just fine falling.
stormegedendarklordofall
I also would add jumping out of the way
spartantalk
Pro tip, act like anything falling in a kitchen is a knife
mi17ke
People in healthcare catch nothing if it drops, we just watch it fall.
Lostchild12
Ouch, the poor patients.
JacaByte
Me at work; drop a screw driver, try to catch it but slap it into a desk instead with the business end up, stabbing myself in the hand
stormegedendarklordofall
Was casually throwing a pencil and wasn't watching and got myself right in the middle of the finger webbing. The pencil lead hasn't left
Phycohb
I prefer my taxes paid in Cat 6a or higher.
Wobbixx
Higher? But cat7 is mangy, unruly, it belongs outside.
Jawesome19
. Me at work: Reflex catch a utility knife in mid air, miss, sway I with hand sending it flying into my thigh. Knife embeds into leg, ow
stormegedendarklordofall
This actually happened?
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
I've learned my lesson to quickly move my feet out of the way of any falling knives. Particularly after one incident where I was stepping...
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
a throwing knife target and was throwing the throwing knives onto it. Worked well... for a while until I threw it onto my foot puncturing...
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
the sneaker and part of my toe... lesson learned quickly. Also learned to not be a tard and step on a target while throwing knives at it.
stormegedendarklordofall
I throw my hands up and jump
Vegonbrei
Tried to catch a wrench once, burned myself on an exhaust manifold reeeal good.
ale624
I know that pain all too well!!
yamidan
Saw something fall of bench. Reflexed out to catch it. Was a carving knife. Chopped into all 4 fingers then slid out my hand, hit the bone.
Noxcado
Worked in a pizza shop. Used a rocker blade to cut pizzas. dropped one time first instinct was to catch the falling object my mind 1/
Noxcado
/2 immediately screamed internally NOOOOOOOOOOOO and I pulled my hand away. So nowhere near as cool but also less unsafe haha.
Thatllbuffrightout
Dropped a knife yesterday while I was barefoot and I've never before seen my legs work so fast to get outta the way
CultofCedar
I dropped a freshly sharpened knife off my desk before, thought it hurt because the handle hit my foot until I saw a pool of blood lol
stormegedendarklordofall
I know that feeling all to well

exactly. We can't tell. LordFancington thinks it's Cat5, but it might not be. So it's Cat5-y

It’s the new hybrid fiber cables that they utilize a specific type of cat hair/fur to provide 10/100/1000 Mbps with less intrusion/noise.
lacskilled10
OK then
Vangaren
That is a category 5 or category 6 network cable, commonly referred to as cat5 or cat6 cable.

My insane ex-gf threw a 8" kitchen knife at me and I fuckin' ninja caught it by the spine. One of the coolest things I've ever done.
kaelllcox
And then the whole bus clapped?
forreasonsyoudontneedtoknow
One of my teachers had an ex-wife who threw a knife at him. He caught it with his femoral artery.
NotPapaEmeritus
Did you throw it back?
Teasaurus
No, but I stabbed it into the table and left without a word. Tho in my head I was like "HOLY FUCK I AM THE GREATEST"
Misora
Had a friend throw a pair of scissors at my face. I defected it with a soda can I was drinking from. He'll never live it down.

No, but funny you should ask... Since she's right behind you...

No, she was found dead. Stabbed with a knife.
VolcanoHerder
Husband "accidentally" threw me out of a golf cart when we were dating as I was uncrossing my legs. Somehow I flew out and did a spin and
VolcanoHerder
remained on my feet facing him. He was shocked. I've since learned he used to do that to his buddies to screw with them & they always fell.
VolcanoHerder
I win. Plus now I get to fuck him more than they do. ;)
LukeKarr22
One of my former managers threw a bag of chips at me and I caught it before it hit the ground. So that was pretty cool, I guess.
Teasaurus
Hey, little victories my friend
MrCooney
You're saying you've done multiple things that compare or even beat that????
Teasaurus
Well I once threw a knife(like a real throwing knife) and managed to slice a bee in half, but that is a story for another day, young Padawan

This is why i always advise carrying a medieval shield and helmet around. Safety first
MadDrDrillBit
loin cloth helps too
JebKermin
Helpful but not necessary

i think the scotts flipped their kilts in battle for distraction.

The ONE day I leave my shield at home and decided plate armor alone was enough... Never again...
