What would you do for...?

[Kalindras]

Sure, pretty much everybody here is a bona fide knife knut, but...

Who here will admit to being a knife ****? Me, I'm one. I've done (and will do again, I'm sure) some truly ludicrous things for, to, with, and because of knives. Just love 'em...yup, yup, yup...

So, how do you know if you're a ****? Take this easy test:

1) Have you ever looked at a custom piece at a show and SERIOUSLY considered endangering your mortgage, "Just for a few months...?" Have you been advised, "Just sell your spare tire...you don't really NEED five tires on your car, y'know...?"

2) Have you ever hurt your mind, wondering how a maker ground that weird-a$$ bevel/got it to balance so perfectly/managed to set his initials into the Damascus that way/etc.?

2a) Did your mind lock up so hard that people passing the table/booth stopped to see if you were alright? Did the maker ask you to leave, because people were avoiding the booth? Did he ask you to stay, because people were drawn to the table to "See the really lifelike statue??" Did the cleanup crew after the show dust you off, because you were still standing there, drooling?

3) Has your S.O. ever refused to acknowledge that they knew you, during or after a Knife Show? Do they admit they know you now? And, for the Gods' sakes...WHY?!?

and finally,

4) Did you read this thread, and think, "Yeah--but that doesn't make me a ****! Really!!! I just love knives!"?

Oh, and for bonus points:

5) Have you ever looked at a picture of VG or Loreena, and actually been able to focus on the knife--and NOT the rest of the picture? Without crossing your eyes? How 'bout your legs? Huh? Huh?!?

I see a purity test coming out of this...

I like knives and I wasn't staring at the pictures Lorena Bobbitsky for long because I was on the floor laughing.

Yes,
Yes,
yes,
yes,
yes, and
YES.... I have got it baaaddd.

During my last knife show the wife managed to entertain herself at the local salon, with several other knife**** wives. The conversation of choice centered on our hobby (they may have used the word "addiction"), the secondary market for knives, and things to do if we inadvertenly kick the bucket.

I found out about all of this when I was asked to foot the bill ... $ wow! I'm in the wrong business - you paid this much for a haircut and wine - women apparently get wine and cheese with their haircuts... Her answer is NO, you paid for it. The show was a lot of fun (purchased several knives), so I felt it was prudent to nod, smile, and pay the bill.

Watch your 20 fellow knife****.

And, keep the other half happy, its only fair.
