You know you are a REAL knife guy when....

when you can read the chinese alphabet soup steels and know what it means...
when you are scared to let others use your knife...
when you drop a knife and feel your heart drop into your stomach...
 
You are a real knife guy.....

-When you pay a speeding ticket or some other bill and think 'I could have bought a knife , or some particular knife, with that.

-When you drift off to sleep thinking about blades

-When you speed a few hours watching youtube videos about knives......on weekends

-When getting a package with a new blade is akin to a kid at Xmas.

That's just today.

You get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom in the dark, but then turn on your bedside light to look over one or more of your knives before you go back to sleep.

Nope. You grab a folder from your bedside table and take it to the bathroom with you. That way you have a knife to flick while you sit on the toilet. When finished, you carry it back to your bedside and place it right back where it came from. Without turning on a single light in the house.
 
When every single thread in the "For Sale: Production Folders" (or fixed blades, or custom folders, or whatever your groove is) shows that you've already clicked on it...and you're not even looking for anything in particular.
 
When you order your first Busse and before it arrives waste a good bit of your employer's time, ink, and paper to get a perfect actual size photocopy of it from the advertisement picture.

(It was a BB SH 2, by the way.)
 
You know you're a knife guy when, someone compliments you on your knife, then twenty five minutes later is looking at you like you've grown a second head because your still talking about it.
 
OK I have actually made scale cutouts on cardboard so I get the feel of the size of the knife before it arrives lol. I did this with the OP2W Steel Heart Ergo and Mean Street Ergo. Had to know the way that handle was shaped lol. I spent quite a long time ensuring it was exactly to scale. So I feel your pain brother lol.

You have a certain weekend knife and differs from your weekday knife. You take more time to get ready that your wife because you spend all your time trying to decide which knife is proper for this particular occasion.

Sad, but true.

When the blade of your pocket knife of the last 30-40 years looks like a toothpick due to use and sharpening.

When most of your blades have Very full blades because you rotate then frequently enough that you don't wear one down to a pick.
 
When flat grind, convex edge, and scandinavian grind mean something to you and you can identify them at a glance.

When you use words such as apex, scales, choil, and ricasso and they mean something to you.

When you hit "back 15" like 20 times on your DVR to figure out what knife the dude in the TV showing was using.
