So yea, I just sliced my knuckle open with a razor blade down to glistening white extensor tendon and had to sew it up at the kitchen table. A hobbie a prefer not to practice!

I've thought about keeping a suture kit in my ski pack. Only problem is, 1) I don't know how to use it, and 2) I hate blood and would be useless on anyone but myself (strangely, my own blood bothers me not at all).

I guess it's a hobbie out of need. I learned from my dad who is not a physcian. Rosie's step dad is a ER doc and has helped me refine my technique.
I have stitched myself and others maybe a dozen times and continue to improve.
The key is knowing when it's over your head. A few years back I smashed my hand between a steel pole and a STI lever during a muddy cross race in Portland which severed my middle finger including a extensor tendon. Stitching tendons is a job for a pro, I stick to flesh wounds.
I am lacking a little thumb extension right now but I think its due to swelling and joint pain, the tendon looked intact this time.
will see

Have you tried super glue or crazy glue. That is what the carpenters use.

Do you keep any sort of local anesthetic around, or are you doing this med-free?
If the latter, then my respect for you just grew even more exponentially.
