    Shinai Sliver

    The other day I got a sliver in my finger by my shinai. I was wondering if I should dig it out or let it be.

    i dunno about the rate of infection, but i would take it out... no reason to keep a splinter in you, even if its not bothering you.

    (then again, i got a piece of lead pencil still in the palm of my hand from 1st grade that healed over... i can still see it)

    Oh the IRONY, sweet BITTER irony... its not just a motto, its a lifestyle. fo' LIFE!

    Just to say, I got a piece of lead pencil in my knee from 2nd grade.

    Oh, and I will take it out because it is starting to hurt typing this.

    a sewing needle is effective.

    A samurai would use his Katana to get it out, with his best friend ready to cut his head off if he failed.
    I love the smell of shinai in the morning!

    Rubbing the shinai, with your tenougi or keikogi sleeve, detects splinters.

    its a nice habit to develop, and it doesnt take but moments to check.

    Akumalkenshi - that's a great technique!

    To the rest - pencil lead in hand and knee? That makes me cringe just thinking about it! Yuck!

    the risk of spinters

    there is always a risk, letting a splint being, it may pass into your vein..!
