Don't use cardboard, have a half dozen leather strops.

7. a dwindling bank account
It's holding it's own, for now.

8. One knife on the belt,one in each pocket, one cliped to you some whereand knives all over the house and truck.
Only one knife on me, in my right pocket.
 
I think you can spot what type of knife a person carries.

How to Spot an expert balisong carrier:

- Nicks and cuts all over his fingers

How to Spot a new balisong carrier:

- Nicks and cuts all over his forehead and feet

You can tell when your favorite child cuts themselves with your favorite knife, and you run and check the knife out first. :D
 
Got the bald spots and the bali nicks :D

How about when your fingers are all grayish black from mirror polishing a MT... I guess that would go along with the sand paper. Kinda funny how hard it can be to find silicon carbide paper upwards of 1500 grit. If you know every store in your area that carries it, I guess that's a sign too.
 
Yes to all but you left out.

1) Wife hates you :(
2) wife hates your hobby (knifes) :mad:
3) wife doesn't understand why you have 25 knifes :eek:
4) you have to rat hole money away for your knifes :p
5) you have knifes sent to your friends house :cool:
6) but you keep it up and hope she never looks
in your storage box. :eek:
 
Well my wife sorta brought it home for me when she asked why in the world I had a knife clipped onto my underwear! :eek: :eek: :D

My first wife was just like that....

I have my second wife broken in right. For Valentine's day I gave her a BM 705. For her birthday I gave her a Gene Ingram small hunting knife. For Christmas I gave her a small Spyderco which she carries all the time. I met her while I was teaching a women's self defense class. She showed interest in learning edged weapons tactics so I bought her a CRKT knife to carry first.

She doesn't balk about me buying knives now as long as we have the extra money.

I guess I am a lucky one... I found a woman who loves me and my hobbies.

So who has more you or her?

Hows about your wife has more knifes than you
You get up in the morning and pet your knives instead of the wife.

You order all the knives you can for the price of shipping.

You order so many knives the knife company offers to make you a dealer :D

You are turning gray waiting for the knives to come back from warrenty work and soon you are ploting against the goverment because the postal system is taking so long getting them back to you. ;)

This one may be crazy but you have to learn to read French to read the Opinel manufactures site. :eek:
It started out inosent :rolleyes: one for you then one for you and the wife then one for you the wife and the neighbor :D ......... scary
Everytime you talk to someone the knives get in the conversation.

You have to buy a digital camera so you can show all your knives off without carrying them.

You have several grader blades and are trying to figure out how to turn them into knives.:cool:

Then there is the toothpick knife all it does is sharpen toohpicks :D

And how about when your wife asks you for "your" knife to cut something and you don't know which one to give her?

Or you are doing yardwork, need to cut something ugly, and rather than use your EDC(s) (which you forgot to swap out for your "at home carry") you run into the house and get your "beater" so you don't scratch that shiny finish or harm that wonderful razor edge that probably won't cut much anyway :D

You carry one less than you normally carry and you feel "lost and alone".

1. Band aids on 8 or more fingers at all times

2. You spend more time polishing your knives than your wife does polishing her silverware

3. Your dresser is full of knives, while underwear and socks are kept in a plastic bag

4. You spend more time in the morning deciding which knives to carry than your wife spends putting on her makeup

5. You buy pants with the deepest pockets you can find so that you can carry 4 to 5 knives in every pocket

6. You set off metal detectors from 1000 feet away

7. When someone asks to see your knife collection you say, "how long have you got"?

8. You have studied more about the metallurgy of knife blades than the average PHD candidate at MIT
 
When you get a visitor wants to look at a knife, you can't wait for them to leave so you can clean and oil the blade to get rid of finger sweat residue :footinmou
