Don't think it has gone unnoticed, with this outrageous K(whatever) plugging.

Not too shabby, mind you.
 
Your wife thinks you are the only person on the planet who has a dedicated " jammies " knife. Yes, the jammies you sleep in.

You actually know why the knives they sell on those infommercials are not worth the postage to ship them.

You can identify 18 species of wood because they are common handle material.

You know the metallurgical composition of 6 different stainless steels.

You have the names and numbers of several knife makers in your speed dial and Buddy list.

You can identify a maker's knife at a glance simply by his signature profile.
 
You know you're a knifeknut when:

You get to know your UPS driver so well he invites you to
his daughter's wedding.:rolleyes:
 
When you have the phone numbers of Jerry Fisk, John Fitch, Roger Massey, Don Hanson III, Ron Newton(and numerous others) memorized, you know you're a knifenut. :D
 
As I mentioned on a similar thread:

You rub some buffing compund on your jeans above the knee because it helps stropping in the field.
 
"...rearrange the clutter of knives on the couch......"


You guys are talking like this is a bad thing?

We, the folks @ CAMILLUS CUTLERY, really love knifenuts....ya'll are good for business!;)

What kind of criteria exists for being a knifenut?

For me, it's this:
Have you ever wondered?
"What knife goes with this outfit?"
"What knife is appropriate for this occasion?"
"What knife matches my mood?"

Sorry, but we can't accept your application. A certified knifenut would ask:

"What outfit goes with this knife?"
 
When you go berserk (go postal?, go Bladeforums?) when somebody says something mean about a knife that you love and hurts your delicate feelings.
 
when the number of active knife-related websites in your browser's list of favorites exceeded 250 when you gave up and stopped counting...
 
When you have an open tab with your favorite makers..

When every penny you spend is acquainted to what kind of knife you could have bought with that money

When the amount of time you spend on Blade Forums out numbers the amount of time you work and sleep combined

When your wife uses knife analogies to get you interested in her stories

When you go into auto-classify mode anytime you see a blade on TV

When you can successfully classify 95% of all the knives you see on TV

When that 5% you weren't sure about the knife, you automatically come to BFC to find out what it was

When every pair of jeans you own have signs of clip wear

When you rather go to Blade Show than a Caribbean destination for your family vacation

When you daydream about hitting the lottery, the first thing you think of is what the most effective method you would use to purchase every knife you ever wanted in a timely manner

When you start calling around trying to figure out a way to use your MGI Bill to go to knife making school
