Man Discovers Five Inch Knife In His Head
What is this — knife in the head month? We just had news of a woman suing a Florida emergency care center because they left part of a knife in her head . Now, the blogosphere is abuzz with another knife in the head story. Except this time, the Polish man with the knife in his head didn’t realize he had a knife in his head for several days.
Huh?
61 year old retired schoolteacher Leonard Woronowicz was tinkering in his kitchen, standing on a stool and fell. There were some things scattered about the kitchen, including knives. After he got up, he found some blood below his right ear, cleaned it up and got on with his life. After getting severe headaches for several days, he thought he may have had a concussion, so he finally went to a doctor. The doctor suspected that Leonard had a crack in his skull and ordered X-rays to be taken.
I’ll let Leonard take it from here:
“I thought they might give me an aspirin, instead they pulled a five inch knife blade out of my head.”
“Congratulations, Leonard — It’s A Knife Blade”
That’s right — no one was more suprised to discover the knife in his head than Leonard. I guess you can’t really blame him — he had a knife blade (sans handle) in his head. Not only that, but the knife blade had managed to go into his head without severing anything major — and apparently not hitting many nerves, either.
As soon as the doctors saw the X-rays, they trundled Leonard off to Bialystok regional centre hospital in order to get Leonard to surgery. The surgery was uneventful, took only a few minutes and Leonard is expected to make a full recovery.

I’ve not owned a Victorinox SAK for a while. For years I’ve used my wife’s old SAK Classic, but it went missing during a move, so now it’s time to buy a new one. I decided to really figure out what I needed in a knife. I decided I needed the usual stuff for everyday life - blade, can and bottle opener, corkscrew, screwdrivers (both regular and Phillips head). I also needed a metal file and wood saw. This gave me only one option - the Ranger.
