Characteristics of my Wound

I want to look further into the characteristics of a fresh wound so that I can realistically create one.

I found a table which distinguishes the effects of lacerations compared to an incised wound, and I believe that mine would be an incised wound:


And from this table, I can gather that my wound will tail off at the end. This would definitely be the case with a sharp knife, however a fork is blunter than a knife and so I believe that the ends would be thicker than if it were a knife.
