Just what is a "knifemaker"?

Great thread!
You know your a knifemaker when:
Your neighbors offer to call the fire dept after you have quenched a few too many blades and a cloud of smoke is rising out of the Garage.

There is a Mysterious Black (Not Brown) coating of dust in the house, Man do I pay for that.

Your hands have at least 2 or more Bandaids on them at all times.

You pay for your supplies before you pay the bills! You know just in case...
 
You can tell you're a knifemaker when:

People come over to visit and the first thing they ask is if you have any new knives for them to see.

When you buy things at flea markets that you have no logical explanation for buying.

When you take a shower and it leaves rust stains on the shower floor.

When you go to give blood and the tech approves highly of your bloods iron content.

When you discover that you have one of them 6 way plug in strips at every outlet in your shop.

When you find yourself estimating what you'd charge for every knife you come in contact with if you were to make it.

When you go to the doctor and after the visit the Doc wants to know if you'd like to apply any knives toward your bill and did you bring any just in case.

When you go to the grocery store and buy lump charcoal and they think you're going to use it for cooking out. And they also wonder why you buy some EVERY time you come in.

When you pull up to the supper table and recognize every knife being used for cutting up that deer steak. And you also realize that you made a few of them.
