Why cut the whole hand? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I always pictured the band of steel to be a thick manacle that extended down the forearm as opposed to a slender policeman's handcuff. That is, I think it would be difficult to shove the thing down on the forearm in order to perform extended surgery on the thumb. Other considerations aside, I think a quick, clean whack to the wrist/upper forearm would be less painful than trying to carve the thumb out of its socket.

Inzila, I'm curious as to whether or not you're still holding to your vow to abstain from the movie. How's that going?
