How many of you open and close your knives while watching TV?

I might add,..I also am currently flipping one knife while sharpening another while I watch football. Nothing like working a micro edge on a knife while watching TV and drinking a beer. Damn,...I am turning into a cliche.;)
 
Same here especially in front of the TV for hours, usually with a new one to break it in and make it smoother.
 
And while I'm driving, taking a dump, pretending to listen to my wife talking

+1 Guilty. These all sound familiar, but it really is creepy behaviour if you step back from yourself and are still able to see it from a "normal" person's perspective. Doesn't stop me, though.;)
 
I sometimes worry that people will call the cops or something silly like that if I play with a knife while driving.
 
Tes I do... With bali, karambit, auto, axis, liner... Even with a fixed blade :o
 
Sure do. Right now it's FFG Delica that's getting flicked. If I have my Izula on me, I will un-sheath, examine the edge and laser engraving, re-sheath, repeat.

Dito on that...I`v done the same while driving and said to myself i better put this thing away before i either cut myself or someone thinks im really loony :eek:

I've found it's a lot harder to pay attention to what traffic is doing while flipping my knife when I drive. :D

Excellent man you open & close your "fixed blades" while watching the TV. I guess that would be more like brandishing them or sheathing/unsheathing? :thumbup:
 
I do this, especially with new knives. Helps me get a feel for the mechanism, so when I need to use my knife, I've got the muscle memory built up and can open and close it without thinking or looking at it.
 
Don't watch TV much, 'cept when Patti Ann's hosting on FNC. Then, I'll bust out the M1 trainer and practice a bit.
She's terribly distracting.:)
 
i do it. but mostly when i play poker. some people get a little scared that i'm gonna freak out and slam it through the table. i'd never do that, but i think it sounds fun
 
All the time. My fiancée has threatened me with physical harm at times. I guess it can get rather annoying.
 
Oh yeah, many many times. I have sat or stood there through whole movies opening, closing, drawing from sheath, back into sheath. Stood more hours then I can think of drawing my side arm from every known shirt or jacket that I own creating that muscle memory groove. Fortunately the wife doesn't mind and never complains, she's sweet and understands the need and desire to what we do.

Stay safe my friends.

I should point out that it's not like this is a compulsion or anything like that. I can quit any time I want to. I just don't want to yet.;)
