Silky bit me!

[RobArb]

A silky did that!

 

ouch ouch ouchity ouch!!

[Trees-]

It did yes!

The blade went straight down onto my tensing arm with a lot of force, so I guess it just split open!

A silky cut can be worse than a chainsaw cut....it is a saw made up of tiny blades.

Exactly Mick....especially as you,re using it your hearts pumping fast...Cutting with one hand above your other arm should be avoided for as the branch is cut the momentum forces the saw hard into it...Nasty.

As you are the fox silky are you not immune to the effects of the silky?!

Cut was just 2 inches up from my wrist, on the topside of the forearm.

I was off work for a good while!

has the cut effected anything else? nerve damage? or mobility? muscle damage?

 

looks bad, just want to be aware for the future.

Clipped nerve, which has made an area of my hand constantly numb.

Back when I did it, it took a good couple of months to regain the strength I had. Many boring days off work!

 

Take it easy mate.
