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

[Mink]

You were never much of an apple eater before but now find yourself pimping sliced apples to anyone that will eat them.

When you take pictures like this;

When cutting your nails, you leave a thumbnail a little longer than the rest.

or when your thumbnail is so strong you can use it to mark glass

sigh. Your daughter brings home her new boyfriend and you are more interested in the Gerber on his belt than the earring in his ear.

 

[Bastid]

You guys have a problem. I would seek help if I were you. .

No problem here though... uh huh no problem at all...No addiction here... (yeah right):foot:

........ you've spent more on knives in the past year than the car you're driving is worth!

(Considering I drive a '97 Buick since '97 and before that a '78 Olds Delta '88, uh huh been doing that for a few decades.) Like I was saying ... Nope no problem here.

 

[pmew]

Oh dear, I appear to have drooled all over my shirt.

 

[Invoice]

Gus you need serious help

 

[Strop]

When you only buy pajama bottoms that have pockets in them.

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

Showed this thread to the wife....see Gus doesn't have a problem , so how can it be I have a problem?

 

[TLARbb]

When you take pictures like this;

Yep, that's certainly a good sign. and a nice bunch of knives I might add if that doesn't incriminate me too much.

Love the collection Gus, wow, holy moly!

It would take me too long to get ready for work in the morning just trying to figure out which one to carry not that I have that problem now...

 

[Parke1]

Holy crap, Gus! I need a cold shower after looking at that!

Bastid, is that a clipblade sodbuster in the first picture? What make is it?

 

[Mink]

Bastid, nope you are completely normal. :disillusionment:

Now about that 2009 BF I spied.

Looks like a Menefee to my eye. Bastid has several customs in those pics.

Good to know, thank you.

And I agree with you about the apple thing. I mostly stopped eating apples and pears for quite a long time, no real reason why, just stopped buying them. Since becoming a knife knut though, I've started buying and eating them again just so I could slice them up with my slipjoints I already get plenty of use out of my knives as it is, on a variety of different things, so it's not like I needed something new to use them on, but nevertheless that's why I started buying them again. It's a good thing I love apples and pears though, and eat them often, considering how many I buy. That's what'll make me go broke. No alcoholism, drug addiction, or gambling addiction. Just a traditional pocket knife and sliceable fruit addiction

Both of these things require a "Stay away from my daughter" reaction.
I trust you made the right choice.

 

[Pjake]

Bastid, your program just went from 12 Steps to 47!!

What a collection!

I agree, but at least in this knife fearing world he's carrying one, so perhaps he'll in time be open to being shown the light, perhaps in the form of a gift of a nice trapper

It is a Reece Bose shadow with a clip blade.

Looks like my Case sodbuster did not make it in the shots. Along with a "few others. Uh yup no problem here. .

On the 2009 barlow. Steven and I headed it up that year. I gotta keep it.
