You know you are addicted to Traditionals when......

[qncygnnr]

Rockgolfer - you did "sanitize" that knife I traded you a few months ago ... right?

 

[rockgolfer]

I hope I did
















Just dont ask to borrow my cell phone and speaking of which.....You know you are addicted to traditionals when your phone background is a knife your lusting after.

 

[gunstockjack]

I am keeping track of this list, now I know who not to trade with

The library episode from Seinfeld comes to mind

lol! You guys are killin' me!

I knew I was addicted to traditionals when I started measuring my edc's by the pound. If I get to one edc for every day of the year I'll only be able to buy one more....

Just edc's mind you. You can have as many as you want in your collection.

I hear a bird song outside my window that I swear is going "Tidioute, Tidioute"

the red breasted whittler...

When I get an overtime assignment at work and immediately start trying to figure out which knife to buy with a portion of the money.

When you open another PayPal account just for knives , So your wife doesn't see how much you spend on knives!

When all of your friends that don't collect knives know what pattern you're carrying each day without you telling them!

When you carry one to use each day and one to rub or play with each day as well...lol

I don't know if it makes it less weird that so many of us do this or it makes it more weird.

I really thought I was the only one

When you take your pocket knife out of your pocket before sitting on "the porcelain throne" so you can admire it while taking care of business.

That's so funny!

 

[glocktenman]

When you have more pictures of slipjoints on your camera and computer than you do of people!

Doesn't everyone do that?

 

[Hammer67]

Definitely guilty.

 

[FarmKid]

When ur a member of this forum and u feel closer to the people on here than ur own family!

 

[HuntBomb]

I love this thread. Im guilty of every bit.
I never considered that we are all so close
My family!

And... when you force your not-so-knife friendly co-workers and friends to retrieve any and all slipjoints from their family members so you can "clean them".

 

[Toddwalla]

^ that is pretty funny.

For me, its having patches of arm and leg hair missing, looks like I have some strange hair loss condition.

I'm trying to let my arm hair grow back...so instead, my finger nails are all hacked up and there are little pieces of whittled receipts all over the house...

When one out of many goes missing...but you remain confident it will turn up in some unlikely place (shoes come to mind!)

 

[J. Oeser]

When buying knives no longer satisfies the addiction so you get some lunatic idea to start making them.

 

[Humppa]

... you know the number stamped on the tangs of your blades better than the telephone numbers of your friends and family.

Otherwise known to Ornithologists as #57's

I don't know if it makes it less weird that so many of us do this or it makes it more weird.

Actually, I think it makes it more weird.

So, that bird is a #57 red breasted whittler! I should have known that.
