What happened to other knife bearers?
If the bleeding on the stumps of Will's fingers (as a result of his fight for the knife) only stopped when he was given bloodmoss, and all Giacomo Paradisi could offer was antiseptic, how did all the other knife bearers stop the bleeding? Did they all drop dead after a week from blood loss, or did they too find someone who healed the wound?

The other knife bearers were all Cittagazze natives I think, so I'd imagine they'd be more experienced with dealing with the bleeding. They would have probably had a standard solution that worked, before their civilisation’s infrastructure fell apart.

Something a bit like the 'Help! - My fingers have just been cut off by an evil knife! Intensive care unit'?

Here's a thought. Couldn't you just cut off your fingers even more, but with a normal knife, so the wound would also be a normal one?

I can’t imagine that being the first thing to pop into your head
Lyra: Will, look at you fingers (or lack there of)
Will: never mind, I’ll just cut them off a bit more and were sorted

The witches tried their spells and stuff, and none of it worked. Why didn't they just give him stitches?

I'm not sure, but drawing on experience from other books, I would say (silly of me to ask really ) that stitches were not an option. Don't know if you remember in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Mr Weasley is bitten by a poisonous snake, they try to stitch the wound, and it all goes horribly wrong. Would still be interested to hear what others have to say though:

even if there wasn't a hospital around, there is still a very simple solution to the matter. I would just heat up a peace of metal, and burn the wound shut. However painful it would be, it would work.

perhaps it just stops eventually? Will's fingers weren't bleeding at the end but then I haven't read TAS in ages so maybe he got it healed and I can't remember?
If you want to know what makes me sad
Well it's hope, the endurance of faith
A battle that lasts a lifetime
A fight that never ends
Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
Tell my mother I am sorry
And I loved her

oh... damn I really thought I had it then
In that case perhaps you could cut your fingers back a bit more and then 'cos... oh, wait...
well I'm out of theories anyone else?

but jopari was gone by the time then went into Marzipan and they were bleeding then, or at least before they went to the Muelfa.Jopari did some magic on it.
Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends.
