When you can't watch a movie by yourself without chips in one hand and a knife in the other.
I have my Spyderco Ladybug on me at all times. Often, I'll carry something else, too. But the Ladybug goes with me everywhere. Today, I had a meeting at a secure facility (like most facilities I have to go to, but even with the clearance and I.D. I had, this place wanted me to go through the full x-ray thing). Rather than give up my Ladybug (which, as you know, they just confiscate and don't "hold" for you), I called the people I was supposed to meet and cancelled. My boss gave me hell. Sigh...
I ain't losing my EDC!![]()

This whole business of "leave it at home" or "leave it in your car" is a big con. In practice, it means you can never bring a knife anywhere, because you might have to go though a restricted area. "But why do you need it anyway?"
People who carry knives always find a use for them just like people who carry a pen always find something to write.
I need to get a Ladybug again.. and a Dragonfly.
When you are willing to be late for work because you finaly decide to carry a certain knife over another and you spend 30 minutes looking for it.
You can multis on you and sleep with them beside you on night stand.

Yea walking back to car is a bit of a pain. But your right not having my knife taken away.
That is one interesting story for sure, and yea that is dedication.

when you make lame knife jokes around your friends and then get sad when you remember they aren't knife people and none of them get it
It takes longer to pick a knife for the day than it take to get dressed in the morning...
You are a knife nut when you need a knife for every seperate use.

I have a knife that I keep beside my bed (Zero Tolerance 0200)

I keep my Ladybug on my keyring so it is always with me. I have a quick disconnect between my house keys and my car keys. If I am going somewhere where I would get in trouble, I just separate my house keys with the lady bug and hide them and just take my car keys with me.
When you slice your finger open while flipping a Spyderco and the wound can't heal because you keep flipping the knife and pulling the skin apart...
To paraphrase: when fondling a knife takes priority over personal well-being.
You know you're a nut when you can't find your keys on your keyring because of all the knives?
Or when you forget your knife at your desk and panic in the bathroom, because you might need it in the next 45 seconds before you get back to your desk.
PS:
Magnaminous, what are those clips you've got all your stuff on?
May your life be more than a series of chance events.

-If you have no problem dropping $500 on a single knife because it really is a great deal. ^

-You get slightly disappointed at the character when you realize said knife is a cheap Chinese one.
-If part of your trip planning includes researching knife shops near where you'll be.
-You rationalize other expenses in terms of "How many knives could this get me? "
