Slash wounds occur as a result of tangential movements of sharp implements across the skin surface, for example, razors, broken glass, knives, swords, etc. They are often deeper at their origin and tend to be more superficial at their termination. They are often aimed at the head or neck with fewer injuries aimed at the upper limb and trunk.
