He was attempting to stab or puncture the tire when the folding blade closed on his finger.
Moral to the story is use a knife with a locking blade.
“He was attempting to stab or puncture the tire when the folding blade closed on his finger.”
When I was 17 I had a non locking folder close up on my finger while I was backpacking two days out from town.
Luckily there was a group of college people nearby that fixed it up with their first aid kit. Still have the scar.
Have used a locking folder ever since.
A hatchet is best. Or so I’m told.
