Jack Hathman flipped through a catalog in Draco Sinister, his store that sells period weapons and knives, in Columbia, Mo. on March 9, 2006. Hathman has been fascinated with knives ever since he was 13 and cut himself with a pen knife.
"I bled like crazy," Hathman said. "I was cupping both hands and blood was filling both hands and dripping."
The experience stuck with Hathman. "I couldn't believe that something so simple could cause such a remarkable disaster," he said. Hathman has been in business for six years and has owned his current store since December, 2005.
