I've done a similar cut across the side of my thumb, just with a different knife - the main blade of a Swiss army knife. No stitches required just super
glue, gauze & tape strips. It happened some years ago and you can still tell that something happened by the slight ridge and faint scar line present after
it healed up with minor effect on that finger's print as the cut goes along a valley. So for fingerprinting purposes a cut in that location is okay, but
cuts across the pad depending on cut depth, not so much.
