I had this idea a while ago, but I wanted to wait until I had more pictures. Add your own, of course!

Do you ever see things that remind you of knives? Here's a few that caught my eye:

This rail control box is well heat-treated, apparently:



Taken where it intersects with 15th street, which is also known as Colfax. If you're familiar with Denver, Colfax at night is a good place to have a CQC-15 handy:



Tobaccomascus:



My lighter and main carry knife match up pretty well these days:



Taken at my last day of work at a pet store yesterday:

Awesome idea for a thread! I actually wanted to start something like this a month ago but didn't have any pics. Here's my contribution. Whenever I see a Nissan Juke, the lines always remind me of a ZT:



 
Whenever I see a Gerber toilet or an Emerson TV

I saw one of those literally just a couple days ago and immediately thought of knives, but couldn't quite figure out why. I think the streamlined and somewhat organic form reminded my of the bionic, or the curves of the 0200, or something.

Only Gerber I trust for daily hard use :D

Everytime I see that dang Buick sign over the car dealership I pass on the way to work. "Sweet we are getting a store for Buck kni... ah crap it says Buick." The font is nearly identical and no matter how many times I see it, I get tricked. Very misleading to us poor knife nuts.
 
Whenever I see an address. Around my lake there's a 154, reminding me of 154CM or CPM-154. There's also a 1077, the model number of the Kershaw Camp 10. There's one of the best pitchers in baseball with the last name of Kershaw. The kid is a beast pitcher, just like the company. :D

Kershaw Knives everyone, according to KnottyEagle.

As a Giants fan, that's debatable :p

But yeah, I do the same thing as you. In my state license plates are 1 Number, 3 letters, then 3 more numbers. I always notice ones related to knives, mostly stuff where the letters are CPM, CTS, ZDP (still haven't seen ZDP189 yet), and one time I saw 5WTB556 right after I had just ordered a Mini-Grip, I found it very fitting.
 
When I saw the title "Superior Edge", I thought it was a knife store.

Haha now you know you ain't the only one!

And everytime I'm at a fast food joint, and they call out order numbers like 300, 561 or 940 I can't help but think of knives!
 
I look at the clock a lot and see model numbers, 8:01, 5:55, 5:51, 5:52, 3:00, 3:01, 3:02, 3:03, 3:50, etc...:o
 
Oh man whenever that song "Titanium" comes on my wife's Pandora...I think of all the nice Ti framelocks I see on here everyday.
 
Corey Hart "Sunglasses At Night"

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

While, she's deceiving me,*
It cuts my security (has)
she got control of me
I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades; oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades;
(oh no) (I can't believe it)
You got it made with the guy in shades; oh no
This.

(now open YouTube and watch it :p)
