Knife Enthusiast Quirks

Having to fly with only a carry on and steaming about the TSA, knowing you cannot fondle for the duration.
 
Carrying my knife out to the backyard just to have a cigarette. I'm 99% sure I won't have the chance to use it unless I look for a reason. :rolleyes:
 
You find that perfect knife you have wanted forever at the absolutly lowest price and after telling your wife its the last one you'll buy for a good while you order it. Ten minutes later you've ordered 3 more in different colors.:D
 
Going through the recycle bin and cutting up printer paper.

Flipping knives at family dinners.

Offering to sharpen knives for family members unsolicited.

Scraping the skin off the callous that had built up on my thumb from constantly opening and closing knives.

Talking to random people about the metallurgy of knife steels.

Looking at the upper region of men's pants (despite being a straight male).

Do these count as quirks?

Hmm, lets see... Oddball behaviors that make make sense only to those that share your obsession... yup they're quirks alright:p
 
Was standing in line at panda and my girlfriend hits me for staring at the pocket of the guy ahead of me. Apparently she had been telling me something she felt was important. Never have been able to figure out what the knife was...

-I thought for sure I was the only one who looked at mens pockets to see if they carry. (Straight also).
- practicing pulling my knife out like im in a standoff.
- checking my pocket for my knife everytime I get out the truck.
- looking at reviews of knives I already have. (Sage 1, this is for you)

I cringe every time I look at my parent's kitchen knives. The one at the shop didn't last 2 days after I sharpened it.

Another quirk;
Holding an intervention on how to clean, store, and use knives without dulling them.

My ma's and grandmas knives all have mirror polished edges now, I'm so proud!:D
 
At my last job in a sporting goods store i sold the knives :), and everytime another employee walked by i told them buy a knife and come play with them. They played with them and i got half the employees to purchase them and turned them onto knives, a couple bought griptilians as their first knife.

You guys my like to read this thread its similar to this one: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1153068-You-Know-You-re-a-Knife-Knut-When
 
No quirks. I"m perfectly normal with all of it and I suffer no delusions. I don't see what the big deal is.

I'm only attracted to my female knives. I do have a proclivity for slowly unwrapping their paracord at times but nothing out of the ordinary.

I just dont understand how anyone could think you strange for this. Seems perfectly normal to me. Why I often unwrap the paracord from Sheila...erm I mean my bk 11.
 
seeing some one looking at that super "survival" knife at the sporting goods store and advising them not to get it then lecturing them about moras, opinels, and kershaws.
 
Feeling naked without the fixed blade on the belt even though there is already one large lock back on the belt and another clipped to the pocket.
 
My wife has caught me "petting" one of my knives. It is her terminogy, not mine.

I hate leaving the house without a blade. I have been known go back and grab one. It drives my wife nuts. One time, I left the house without a knife and told her that I was not going back to get it. She was pleased with that untill she found out that the only reason I did not bother was because I had a knife stashed in the car.
