Then it began to bleed and hurt. If you've never had a deep wound before it's hard to describe. I felt kind of a numb pain with peircing overtones. It hurt less than road burn and felt more like hitting your head real hard, but in my hand. I was cut with a sharp knife.
Dull blades leave a jagged edge to the wound, they almost rip the flesh.
I got seven stiches and it healed up quite well. You can't really tell its there except for a shiny strip of skin where hair won't grow bordered by a very faint line of dots. Oh yeah, I also got to remove the stiches with the same knife.
