wow. you must have really been going at that butter.
Here's what you say:
"Oh. It was awful. Knife glinting in the light, most frightening thing you ever saw. It was totally unexpected. Of course, I overcame my opponent, and this was the only injury I sustained."
Then, casually mention that you were cutting butter with a butter knife, and that you cut the hell out of your thumb in the process. People will think you're clever, and you've impressed them with your storytelling and humor, rather than with some neanderthal activity like pub-brawling.

hmmmm.........go with a butter knife. if you'd like you could come how make the story of you cutting yourself with a butter knife more interesting. And well i think it is quit impressive that you cut yourself with a butter knife, as you said it is rare. be honest just go with the butter knife, see i think a brawl story would be best used when you might accidently run into a door and you get a black eye, just say you got in a brawl instead. Then after that say "my eye OH it's nothing you should see what i did to the other guy" :) well try and be careful with those butter knives and well try not to get into any brawls,

Neither really. What's impressive about a pub brawl in this day and age of civilization. Better yet, you seem to be a passive type that probably has never seen a live brawl in your life.
Go with the realistic option that fits your personality. If nothing else, cutting yourself on a butter knife is a great opener for a joke.

Why not combine the two, why not tell the truth but add the bar fight story for flare?
"Yeah man, the waitress had just brought the bread over and I was cutting the bread open with a butter knife to apply some tasty spreads when these two guys next to me start shoving each other. The one guy falls down and bumps into my arm, and I cut my thumb open the butter knife. The guy walks off both of the "fighters" completely unbruised, and here I am bleeding all over the place. Can you believe it?
Ok... so maybe that didn't all happen... but I did cut myself with a butterknife. Could you kiss it and make it better?"

Why the need to impress anyone? Tell the truth. It's really impressive you could get such a wound from a butter knife!

Hee, hee. So funny! Where the heck do you keep your butter, that the pressure of cutting it could slice your thumb? So sorry, though, that you hurt yourself.
I suppose what you say would depend on your audience. Like, you probably don't want to tell your grandma that you were in a pub brawl. But your poker buddies? You'll never live down the butter story!
I hope you'll heal before you have to explain it to anyone and make this tough decision.

A butter knife. Those things are sharp at all so it's impressive that you had enough power and cut through skin with one.

A butter knife did the damage? Were you trying to use a hammer on the hard cold butter or are you just plain clumsy? Ok put a bandage on your bo bo and claim it was a paper cut while counting your $100 bills.

well if you say cut by a butter knife people will think you are a wussy, so i guess the pub brawl would be better.
