When you have BF or W&SS as a home page.

When you purchase canned food according to the stoves you can make out of it.

When you swing by the surplus store to check out any new bags or tins.

When your co-workers know you as the knife guy.

When someone needs to cut something they look towards you.
 
yer a WS&S freak.....

When you drive 100kms (or miles for the USA crowd) out of town to make dinner on your new stove, FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS!

When during that long drive alone, you go over in your mind exactly what you will say to the nice policeman if they stop you and see all the blades on your person.

when you realize that everyone in the small town store is silent and staring at you, because your wearing muddy olive drab clothing, and have a large neck knife, a large belt knife, a larger chopper in a drop leg sheath, and a Emerson super commander clipped to your keys, and a CQC7 in your wallet.

When you leave said store and drive like mad, thinking about that police conversation again.....
 
You've bought three different types of mustards just to see if they give the same patina

You've typed the words 'bushcraft' and 'knife review' in the you-tube search box

You make a comment about Ethan Becker's knives at every house where they have Joy of Cooking in view

The scissors in your house start to feel neglected

You disagree with the statement: 'Diamond's are a girl's best friend' and want to replace the word 'girl' with 'knife'

You are on the lookout for a bigger nylon sak, because your current PSK to crammed full of stuff

You get caught in the bush taking a photo of your knife
 
I'm at about 90% on these. Crazy.
When you know who is going to like a knife you post based on length or spine thickness.

For the makers:

when you read threads to get an idea for a new knife project.
 
You make a torch out of a stick ,cornstalks , and barbedwire to explore the cave you just discovered.
 
when you burst out in laughter when you see those knives at bed bath and beyond that have "micro serrations that never get dull"

When your youngest son screams "DEER MEAT!" when bambis mom is shot........

When your knives are worth more then your car.......

You keep your kids pampers in camo buttpacks..........

You expierince all the signs of grief when you trade a knife away......

You buy a knife off the exchange, only to find that you used to own it.........

When the mailman and UPS driver are on a first name basis with you, and very well might think youre attracted to them based on how giddy you are when you awnser the door.....................

Youve ever contemplated doing custom handle with red liners for your gear shift.............

Your meet ups with forum members for dayhikes seem a lot more like the male equivalent of tupperware parties and you end up wanting to buy another knife or piece of gear.
 
your kid carries a custom knife and a multi tool on his belt! (:thumbup: brian andrews)

when you have a small PSK in your work bag

when you have a custom knife that you dedicate for grapefruit eating

when you use a camping fork/spoon/knife to eat meals at your office desk

when you see a crock pot cook book and wonder if it could be used for dutch oven cooking

when you read all this thread and you wonder why any of this is odd
 
Great thread! Here are my feeble attempts

you name your kids and pets with variations of George, Washington, Sears, Nessmuk, Horace and/or Kephart.

your EDC is a fixed blade that you carry in a different discrete sheath depending on the day of the week

"necking" with a girl means comparing PSK items on your lanyards

you have your own key to the knife display at your local hardware store/gun shop/specialty gear shop and you don't even work there

you have a video clip of Crocodile Dundee's "That's not a knife" on your iPod, your Tivo, your computer.....

You become alarmed when you discover what you think is a box of porn under your teenage son's bed, you open it up and breathe a sigh of relief followed by great pride (and possibly a tear of joy) when you find a well worn copy of Woodcraft and Camping and the rudiments of a PSK

you believe that punkies, sancudos and moquims really exist

you have searched the internet for sources of pine tar, castor oil and pennyroyal oil

you have also searched the internet for sources of lime-water and alum

you keep PSKs under your pillow at home and in your desk/work area at work, "just in case."
 
Your friends come over to get their knives sharpened because you'll make fun of them for not having their blades as sharp as yours.
You look in any direction in your room and can see at least 3 knives.(left...Bravo-1,gameskeeper,swisstool.) (Right...Fallkniven S1,Mora,Emerson CQC-13,McNett dive/utility knife)
 
When you come back from every hike with more stuff than you went out with.
