While the Surgeon General has not issued any warnings about this lesser-known addiction, its effects are nevertheless as gripping as nicotine (not to mention many times as expensive). To tell if you have a problem look over these 10 questions. Award 1 pt for each Yes answer.
1. Do you automatically calculate how many knives you could buy with every annual bonus? 5pts if you have already spent it on knives.
2. Do you spend more time maintaining your folders than yourself?
3. Does your computer have a wallpaper of a sexy knife?
4. Does your wife/girlfriend tell you that it is almost pornographic the way you fondle your knives? 5 pts if you sleep with your knives.
5. Do you think that B.O. stands for Blade Odor? 5 pts if you test your folder lubricants by applying some on your knives and sniffing expertly.
6. Do you bring your knives everywhere? 5 pts for bringing knives into a jacuzzi. 10pts if your knives have their own passports complete with little photographs.
7. Do you keep a sexy picture of your favourite knife in your wallet? 5 pts if the picture is of a stripped folder.
8. Do you spend your free time reading, writing and dreaming about knives? 5 pts if that is the only kind of reading, writing, and dreaming you do.
9. Can you tell the difference between a lockback, a liner lock, and an arc lock? 5pts if you can actually produce technical drawings of each mechanism. 10pts if you can actually make folders with those mechanisms.
10. Do you spend your time writing inane questionaires on knives like this one? 5pts if you do this while you are supposed to be working instead.
Your score:
5-10 pts you are in a dangerous zone and risk addiction.
11-29 you are an acute sufferer. Only long-term care can help you kick the habit.
30+ only long-term employment in a knife-related job will save you.
