Aged about six or so.... (slight pea)
Messing about the back yard with my cousin, I found a fairly hefty piece of slate, that looked remarkably like a dagger.

"COOL" thinks the five year old, weapon-mad boy that I was, "I wonder how sharp it is?"

And ignoring my mother, tested it the only way I could think of.

One trip to hospital and 15 stitches in my left arm later, I still bear the scar fifteen years later :)

I still claim it didn't hurt (it really didn't) but the look on mums face when I showed her.

I believe it didn't hurt
When I drunkenly sliced my arm open while fileting a fish, I cut through my nerves and there was no pain. At all.

Oh, and I win. 36 stitches ;)

Fell over
Metal tent peg of the big 'flat top and hit with a hammer' type. All torn up and rusty due to being hit repeatedly over the years. Fell on it, cut wrist 'across the road' and up my hand to between my thumb and forefinger.
Still there 5 or so years later - didn't hurt at first, but then the pain hit.

It's quite interesting, actually, how big gashes (teehehe) just don't seem to hurt at first, maybe they will later or maybe they never do. Fucking burns, on the other hand... [especially on a once infected and so now very temperature sensitive thumb].
