[wabash]

someone needs to say what happened.

 

[misconfig]

they did 7 quick stiches for now, as he will have to have surgery on Monday i'm guessing.

Thanks for the update, when I saw it happen I about passed out. Ironjaw is a beast, take care of him!

 

[Cru]

I'll get some pics up tonight. Had to take a friend to TSG to get his first gun!

 

[dubsac]

Glad ur ok iron jaw and hopefully didn't get any tendons. I bet that call to your wife telling her your goin to the ER was the hardest part of the whole thing.

From the Status Update thread:

and then IJ tries to cut off his left hand......he's sitting in the ER! I told him this morning not to cut himself.....but does he listen NOOOOOOO!

Just got off the phone with him, he is going to need surgery. Got his middle finger tendion 95%. Off to St. V to have surgery...will post more when I find out more....

yes at the chop in. on one of Tyler's knives go figure. The hospital where he is at is going to stich him up and stablize his hand so he doesn't tear the 5% left of the tendion. The hand specialist at St. V is swamped I guess and now he is going to have to wait till Weds I think he said to even get in there....I need a beer!

There were some nice choppers there and they were sharp! Cru and Kinnards80 walked away with the prizes. I'm trying to figure put who walked away with my brownies and cookies.

All I can say is Still Learning09 needs the Gold medal or something for her valant effort today. She took IJ to the hospital and didnt even get to enjoy the event herself needless to say she didnt even get to eat anything either. She is a hero in my book. she did get to purchase her a new knife today that she has needed for quite some time so that was a good thing. Judy here's to you girl.

IJ you did not ruin anything today. I am so glad you are going to be ok but you will have a long healing process. Keep me informed buddy.

Cru forgot to mention the new Izula with kit that he won today.

It was a great day and our hosts Dave and Dawn are the best people. It does'nt get any better than those two.

Que we were in a truck so your goodies was not put in our vehicle.

Ironjaw, hope you are alright man! I am getting the super glue for my cut right now.

[dubsac]

I cant wait to see the pics and Ques video advertisement. Thanks again dave and dawn for putting this all together. And thanks to everyone else who helped out to make this happen. Good time, good food and good people.

Yeah you were the first to draw blood. ( from an ESEE knife)

 

[Cru]

I didn't forget KL, I'm posting from my phone and I wanted to give that a proper TY post from my computer...

I did put thanks to you in my quickie post! (And Brad too!)

 

[irishfan]

I will say that HotPocket and Kinnards80 are great hosts and very nice people. Also, rjstew is very good at being johnny on the spot with the bandages for both of the wounded today. I met a lot of great people and came to the conclusion that I need a nice chopper after seeing them in action. Also, I have found that it is very hard without the use of one of your fingers.

ESEE 1

BUSSE 1

We did not have a blood letting tie breaker and thank god we didn't have another brand in the mix

 

[Knife Lady]

The ESEE Junglas was happening today.

 

[Cru]

The junglas was destroying!

First of all I want to thank Dave and Dawn for their hospitality...two of the finest people you could ever want to meet and hang out with. I also want to thank Tyler for his hard work in putting together the chopping competition .....it was awesome despite some blood shed.
Many thanks to Fenway for being there and the INGO support that he brought to the event. Finally, I would like to thank everyone that attended, because without you we couldn't have such an awesome event...INGO ROCKS

Ironjaw gets the tough man award in my book....it was the apple slice station where the accident happened which is not even half way through the coarse and he didn't even flinch, he just kept going and finished the 5 other stations with a time that put him in the top 4 or 5.

stillearnings you are the best for taking IJ to the ER and missing most of the event....somewhere down the road your kindness will be rewarded two fold.

As of now I'm officially retired from any more chopping "competition" events unless there is an AARP division.
