Step one, find a favorite brand and obnoxiously support it
Step two, "deploy" knives. Don't open them.
Step three...

Let's see what we can come up with!

You know you're a nut if you:

-Own several lanyard beads, tactical bottle opener/knuckleduster combos, prybars, danglers, carabiners, and glow fobs, all priced at 1000% or more of what they cost to build because they're stamped with a custom maker's name.
-Carry a framelock flipper, a traditional, a razor blade device, and a fixed blade at the same time.
-Hoard thousands of dollars worth of production knives that don't really see the light of day very often.
-Buy the midtech when the custom is only a few hundred dollars more.
-Think that such monstrosities as "double tantos" or "harpoon wharncliffe recurves" are anything more than a novelty.
-Spend hundreds to thousands of dollars and dozens of hours on sharpening and stropping to get an edge that you have no practical need for.
-Contend that overbuilt framelock folders excel over other knives at self-defense purposes and carry them with that intent.
 
Pull out your knife collection for no particular reason and assort them on your bed in order of preference... Then forget about them until your wife yells at you later that evening when your knives prevent her from going to sleep.
 
If EDC a knife in both front pockets, I think you are knutty.

If you descibe knife use as "running a piece of kit", I think you are knutty.

If you use the word tactical when describing a 3 inch folder, I think you are knutty.

If you cant sharpen a blade but spend a ton of money buying fancy flippers, I think you are knutty

If you put beads on things, I think you are knutty.
 
You carry a beater so that you can lend it to someone that asks for a knife, so that you do not have to let them use your actual EDC.

Or when someone asks for a knife you say "what do you need cut?" And then do it for them because you dont trust them with your favorite EDC
 
When your non knife friends start asking you what knife you're carrying
When you try to decide on a toothy or polished edge
When you plan Blade Show purchases 8 months out
You considered for at least 2 seconds getting a knuck
 
When you have multiples of the same knife, just so you can have a "user" and a "safe queen"
 
When both your coworkers and your family, upon seeing a package arrive for you, just ask 'what knife did you get this time?'.
 
...when you rave about a Customer Service department that you've never needed...
 
When you chase the hardest steels known to cutlery but can't sharpen a slip joint.

When you watch food shows on PBS just to see the part where they slice the food up ;)

ROFL! I showed that one to my wife. She got a chuckle out of it.
 
Join this forum because you think there has to be others like you. Then learn about all the great knives you didn't know about prior to joining, and proceed to spend an inordinate amount of your income on more edged tools than you would ever need in 10 lifetimes. And communicate with others here who condone that behavior, and reassure you that this is normal for a knut. :)
 
A true knife nut like my self must have every particular cutting tool, that includes:
◆folding knife
◆fixed blade
◆machete
◆multi tool
◆saw
◆axe
◆hatchet
◆tomahawk
◆ etc. and the list goes on.

Also must have a variety of different blade shapes.
