  • 25 years ago I took a similar chunk off my little finger using a mandoline. Right down to the bone. 2 nights in hospital after I had a small skin graft to cover it back up again. It's the only plastic surgery I've had.

    Haven't had any problems with it and it all healed up nicely. The nail does hang over the side/end of the finger a bit though. Non-gory photo:-
