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

[BenchCo Spydermade]

When your fingerprints have micro slashes/frayed caluses from testing sharpness constantly.

 

[crom]

When people bring you their stuff with edges that look like they were used to cut rocks and expect it to come back to them with all signs of damage gone. True story.

 

[Peter Hartwig]

When you buy your attire to work well with your knives

 

[Bufford]

When you feel naked and violated after going through airline security.

 

[johnnytoxin]

When you open and close your $400 folder while taking a dump

 

[AusLoX]

When other people list your name in their phone as "First name", "Knife Guy"

 

[Lone_Wolfe]

When you keep 2 knives on your desk. One closer to your right hand, and one closer to your left.

The polite thing for a real knife guy to do is to offer to cut whatever needs cutting so that you friends don't hurt themselves using the aforementioned dull steak knife.

I always do! But sometimes my hands are full.



When you're always looking for an excuse to buy another

I'm knot sure I'm a real knife knut(guy), here's two of the boxes on my knight stand I pick my EDCs from, I emptied one out to give you an idea of how many were in the box. There's a few more bigger boxes, with my more modern knives, my SAKs and my fixed blades.

The bigger boxes have the more modern lockers in them, here's just a sampling of the bigger boxes, some may appear in the other pic.

I never get why people call it a hobby, it's an obsession in the worst sense of the word, it's all I think about, read about and talk about

When you don't need an excuse to buy another.

:thumbup: ^^^^^^^^^^ This

You think fixed blades need orange liners.

You use brand-specific slang.

You buy pro lighting equipment for your knife glamor-shots.

 

[CapitalizedLiving]

You ask for lockup pics before you commit to buying knives, and have a 1-3% range of acceptable variance.

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

...your other knife is a Sebenza.

 

[SW-EDC]

Nice EDC set, but it looks like you are still about 200 days short.

Even you started with one, I got a long way to go to get to where you are but I know you're a knife knut...
