HOW do you know you're a knife nut?

Over a thousand wow, my new hero! My wife thinks I'm insane for owning over 80.

Your wife needs a bit of perspective. If you're 30 years old (guestimating) and bought only one knife per month, you'd have 360 knives. Since you only have 80, she should understand that you're extremely frugal. ;)
 
If sharpening a dull knife is more important than everything else, you might be a knife knut.

When you carry a knife while naked? :eek: :D

When you check yourself before leaving the house... knife, wallet, keys, knife.

When watching TV with your lady and she says "Will you PLEASE stop opening and closing that thing?!?" ... and you didn't realize you were.

A) That's what neck knives are for. ;)

B) Actually, it's more like knife, knife, knife , knife, keys with knife, knife sharpeners, knife, flashlight, knife ... oh, yeah, wallet.

C) Mine just says "You're clicking again." :D
 
GREAT THREADii :thumbup::thumbup:

I will add this....You know you are a knifenut when you see a pocketclip exposed on someones pants pocket and you sit there agonizing and trying to figure out what knife could be in there pocket...or you just go up to them and ask:D
 
OK, some of my previous evaluations of myself.
Leave the house with at least 2 slippies plus a Leatherman, minimum.
Check my baggage so I can bring my knives while air traveling, even if my bag is carry on size. My wife thinks I am whacked because I photograph my knives during hikes in the wilderness. Have given away knives on BF. Have won knives on BF. Hopelessly become addicted to a certain model, maker, material, acquire it, and then fixate on a different model the next week. And last but not least, buy your wife a high end MOP small and cute pocket knife, so you can innoculate her with your disease!
 
You might be a knife knut if your girlfriend gets tickets to a sporting event and your first question is whether the venue has metal detectors.

You pick up a knife at a store or show, and you think to yourself, "What would Paul (Bos) do?" in relation to heat treating that particular blade steel.

when you MUST perform sets of rituals after obtaining new knives.

when you deal with your everyday stresses by sharpening knives.

when you still sharpen your knives even though you know they are already capable of shaving your arm's hair.

when you have bald patches on your arms.
 
While getting 10 stitches in your pointer finger and 9 in your middle, from a knife bite, the only thing that you can talk about is being excited for your first custom...... :):):):)

I would like to add one more thing to my opening post:

- when you select a dictionary because it includes the word 'ricasso'

... (This happened to me before the days of the internet. I came accross a sentence in a blade magazine which is something like 'The holder of the blade can take advantage of the ricasso to do more detailed work'. At that time I thought 'ricasso' is a kind of Italian coffee! Haha. I searched high and low in vain for the meaning of the word from every dictionary I found. I finally found it in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. Of course I bought the dictionary.) :)
