Probably a hunter cleaning a knife and cutting himself/herself.

Reminds me of "surviving edged weapons" https://youtube.com/watch?v=Vix6-afHzMg (don't watch it if you are faint of heart or dislike gory scenes)

I had a classmate that bit off his own tongue landing one of these. Crazy stuff.

"Has anyone here been stabbing themselves in the eye for fun? How did it go?"

Imagine the honor of being stabbed or having your throat slit by such a blade.

Yes, I’d expect this trick to leave some of the mosquito proboscis in the wound. It sounds like an awful idea.
