Hope you heal up soon. I had a similar experience in the summer but it was a table saw I hurt my hand on and it involved more than one finger - fortunately no nerve damage and I still have all my digits.
Dedicated marking knives are much better for this and not too expensive I have a couple of these and they're great.
WARNING workshop heaven is a dangerous site and if you succumb to its gravity well you will soon be plotting ways of justifying the purchase of very nice but unreasonably pricey tools to your better half.

You have no idea what you’ve done, sharing this website…

Yeah, that workshop tool website is not for me. It would totally blow my excuses for shoddy workmanship out of the water!

Was visiting my folks over the weekend and have agreed that they will be getting me something for my 40th from there. Thinking either the Japanese saw 4 piece set or the marking set. Haven't decided, but leaning towards the saws.

Was using a stanley knife to mark a piece of wood yesterday, essentially treating it like a pen.
And, treating it like a pen, I failed to follow any sort of blade safety, and sliced the tip of my left index finger off.
Ouch.
(No pics, because I don't want to look at it, and it's still pissing blood this morning. Because I knocked it against the door. I'm hitting up the superglue in a bit.)
