Best way to ctb by knife?

[Sensei]

so I just need to sharpen a knife as much as my sharpener will allow it and I'm golden

No, you won't be golden. You will be dead and you will have done something which can't be undone.

Hmmm, but it has to be a direct "shot" otherwise pain is inevitable.

Perhaps. If the stab is poorly delivered, you might not lose consciousness and the bleeding out will be slow. I assume that can be a painful, drawn-out, and possibly also agonizing death.

Please don't suggest this to anyone as a) it's a heinous, extremely painful and gruesome way to die and b) it's highly unlikely to be succesful. There's nothing cool about this and the samurai at least had a second ready to cut off their head after making the incision.

My sentiments lie with not doing it, I think that was clear. Metal in this context would be a synonym for hardcore/insane/wild. Which I get where your deriving this notion of glorification, but it's a term that one might apply to someone lighting themselves on fire, or in said case ctb by knife. It's meant to recognize the brutal intensity of such an act, not hold it up as "badass".

It doesn't even matter what your intention was: suggesting a method that is bound to fail with a high agony factor is irresponsible. It's detrimental to the person who might be disturbed enough to actually try it and it makes it even easier for outsiders to paint this forum as a death cult relishing in blood and gore.

I don't get why you'd even suggest something you claim to be opposed to.

I admire you I wish I had the stones to just do it with a knife. I hope you you find the answers your looking for.

I don't mean to be unsupportive. I can appreciate you saying it wasn't the place to suggest that. To be clear, I don't think OP should do this. I understand this place serves as a place of support for many. And while the initial point stands, so does a non endorsement stance of the idea. And if your response is 'well then why?'. Well consider this:

When the 9/11 attacks happened people were PISSED. And they called those attackers a lot of things like 'cowards' and 'pussies'. And while you could call those guys a lot of things the truth is it takes balls to fly a plane like that into a building. Hardcore dedication. And I make that point to make this; in a sea of people taking the sn route or exit bag etc, here comes this guy, balls out. The post above this one kinda highlights that. Is it not a good idea? YES. Is it a spectacle? Yes. An undeniable one.

Those who have their predetermined agendas don't need my help. And those outside people often don't approve of any type of ctb anyway btw. Plus it seems like he's getting the right kinda advice on utilizing this method. Meaning it won't be this horrible blood bath it seems. But I get your point.

Good luck, man. Perhaps it's my cynicism, but I doubt this will work. So many people try doing yet, yet they miss, stop early/can't go through with it, too painful, it clots, etc etc.

I don't really think this would be a good idea due to the immense amount of pain (maybe if you were under a lot of pain-killers to numb out the pain) and also your SI would kick in long before you bled out. For people who died by cutting, it's very likely they have hit a major artery, resulting in massive blood loss and dying from that instead.

People forget that these substances are in the blood stream so you are essentially 'bleeding out the painrelief' i would personally find a fast acting intramuscular injection of my wished substance to keep blood levels.

I wish you well in your decision OP this is a last resort for me. Having been on my death bed in hospital due to blood loss, i know that every second feels like minutes and your slipping in and out of shock. Im not trying to put you off your method or scare you but just hope youve thought everything through.

I know it's not the best way, but it's just about the only way I have now

Could partial hanging be an option with a belt even? It's higher chances than knife. Just make sure to test if the belt will work first.
