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

I second this. However, yours are awesome, mine aren't good yet. I'm not sure if that makes you more or less crazy. :)

I'm getting close to that now. So, I guess....

But, if I sold it, I wouldn't have to buy tires and insurance. Could buy more knives....

Actually, the bird singing "Tidioute, Tidioute, Tidioute" at my house is a mocking bird, but Bill at GEC must have trained him and turned him loose here. And it seem his enunciation is perfect.

When you discover that you own over 60 traditional folding knives but your lifestyle is such that all of your non-kitchen cutting needs could be met by at most three knives that would last you the rest of your life. And even after having come to that realization you plunk down the cash for the BF forum knife without hesitation.
 
When hiking in the mountains and you look at a large buck on the other side of a meadow, and you find yourself studying the large 8 point rack and thinking of the great looking stag handles there.
 
Heck, if I hiked in the mountains regularly I wouldn't feel quite so foolish about owning pocket knives. But I'm a cubicle worker in a large city and neither hunt, camp, nor fish, and it's been years since I did any mountain trail hiking. I should find a more practical hobby.
 
When you start making up stories to cover for all the knife packages coming through the mail.
"It's just a sharpening stone"
"Those are just my wood carving blanks"
"That's my gift for you for mothers day, so you can't see it!"
"Someone sent me a FREE knife!"
I have used em all.

When you use this thread to show your significant other that your not THAT bad ;) lol









But it worked, she said its been awhile since I've bought one :D.

I know she is after something, but at least I get something out of the "deal" this time ;)
 
When you start having new knives shipped to your work so your wife won't get them in the mail before you.
 
... when you are finding new reasons why is there is fruit salad again on the table after dinner

... when you are almost searching for things cut and show off your friends how razorsharp that classic carbon steel performs in comparison to their tacticool butterknives

etc

etc

etc
 
..........you're on the porcelain "throne" a lot longer than you "need" to be because you're checking out the old knife thread on BF from your smart phone.:o
 
Taking out your backpocket knife before sitting on the throne is only common sense : it might fall in the john. Experienced with a (over) multi-bladed SAK. Unpleasant. Admiring your latest buy, wherever you are, is only natural. Enjoy it. But take care, life is going on around you. IMO, you're going nutsy when you have too much knives to use them regularly. And there's nothing wrong with that... but a corral of seven EDCs could be a benchmark. Just a suggestion, I love the addiction anyway so I'm probably the baddest advice around.
