KLBC-Reflexive verb suffixes

I was just looking at the suffixes that make a verb reflexive, and I was
wondering how you would incorporate an indirect object (I think that's
what it would be) into the sentence. For example:
{jIpe'pu''egh} I have cut myself.
What if I wanted to say that I cut myself with a knife? Several
possibilities spring to mind:
{tajmo' jIpe'pu''egh}
I have cut myself because of the knife.
{taj vIqengvIS jIH jIpe'pu''egh}
While I was carrying the knife, I cut myself.
Or would it be some *other* construction that I haven't even thought of?
