HOW do you know you're a knife nut?

[bh49]

I am not. Are there such thing as a knifenut. Everything what are you talking about is quite normal.

 

[Peter Parker]

That certainly covers it pretty good! I'm Peter Parker knife nut!

 

[YayILikePie]

I guess you're a knife nut if you always have a trashcan full of paper that's been sliced to bits.

 

[nikoknife48]

How about you've ordered so many knives that you forget what's incoming!

 

[k12s]

You buy a shirt just because it matches the foliage green scales on a couple of your knives.

- you actually think knives can be more beautiful than a woman (and a man for women) - which, for the record, I haven't gotten to yet.....yet

- you see a picture of a knife and can't get it out of your head until you own one (or three)

- your kids ask you to cut their food and you have to decide which knife to use (and none of them are already on the table)

- you clean under your fingernails with a 7" blade, even though there is a nail clipper with the nail cleaner in the drawer close to you

- everybody who knows you for more than 10 min automatically asks you for a knife when they need to cut ANYTHING

HaHA, I hate when that happens. Don't like anyone touching my knives. Although it does give me a chance to use my knife to help someone out.

When you hate the idea of flying because you have pack your pocketknives away in the checked luggage.

It's kind of a nice feeling. However, I never really lend my knife to people anymore, but rather help them with what they need. Most of the times, I'll just carry one knife, so I don't have a beater to lend out.

When you don't go anywhere if you can't drive for that very reason.

You are proud of your Cutting Remarks and Sharp Wit.

You can use "Ricasso" in a sentence and not have it sound like an Italian pasta dish.

You feel so lopsided that you limp when you don't have two identical knives set up for opposite side carry.

Friends call you, rather than the police, to pick them up from some seedy bar downtown.

You have gotten into fistfights over which is better for one-hand opening: holes, discs or thumbstuds.

Forget the hair. You are able to painlessly shave off one layer of skin to test your knife's sharpness.

You cannot walk anywhere quietly. You can't. You...just...can't.

You have consciously chosen a product just because it required the most effort to remove from its packaging.

I don't lend knives either, I just cut whatever it is for them.

when you have bald patches on your arms.

Patches? Pshaw! My entire body is completely bald. just kidding

When you carry a knife while naked?

A) That's what neck knives are for.

Precisely!

Actually knowing how many knives (apart from kitchen eating utensils) you own.

Being unable to just leave the factory edge alone when you first receive your knife. Actually, you first action is to shave hair and push cut paper after opening the knife and then think - this thing can do better than that.

Holding your new knife for a day or two after first getting it, including setting it beside the keyboard while typing on the forums. Then picking it up again after you finished your blade forum post.

Owning the same model of knife in different handle finishes.

Owning the same model of knife in different steels.

Have to choose among several knives of essentially the same size, shape and function before going on an outing. Of course you can list the little distinctions between them ad-naseum.

Not being able to part with knives that are wholly redundant and you rarely use just because the fill some perceived niche that corresponds to maker, grind or steel type.

Having your custom sheath maker's phone number on speed dial.

When your apartment floods and you're told to only grab the "essentials", you grab all your knives and shove them in your pockets and coat.

(^Happened to me yesterday actually. Terrible day.)

You feel a little queezy and sense of remorse when circumstances dictate that you are forced to use scissors :barf::barf::barf:

Are you kidding? My knife chest weighs over a hundred pounds. No way could I put all my knives in my pockets.

How could that happen? Do they still make scissors?

HAHA! I am not as lucky as you then! I only have a handful of knives worth mentioning, and they are all small enough to go in a pants pocket or in a deep coat pocket. I grabbed all of those and strapped my rifle to my back, grabbed a box of food and starting sloshing out the door.

Me too. These are all the knives I have at home. I got a waved G10 Police with Reese Weiland getting double edged. He also has my super CQC7 converting it to a .160" Ti framelock super 6. Then I have a 4" celtic handle Maxx in progress at DDR's shop. Finally a 4" swing guard stiletto being paid off from Burn.

Alright fellas, try all the above plus you ether have to sleep with your knife or have it close to you while sleeping.
