You know you have a problem when

...when your 3 y/o son gives people the stink eye when he asks them to cut something with their pocket knife, and they don't have a pocket knife.

You are doing something fun with others, like hiking or fishing, and you just have to stop and take a picture of your knife in that setting. You get some pretty confused looks lol.

I may or may not do all of the above comments too

I got caught doing this at the bowling alley at lunchtime by one of my coworkers. Awkward...

When you have thousands of dollars of achingly beautiful knives of all kinds, and some of them are on your person at the time, and you walk all the way across your property to get a Chinese POS to cut something so you don't get one of your darlings dull or dirty.

This is why I have a $10 gerber framelock on my keyring.

You know you have a problem, when you come back from vacation, and check all your shorts pockets, shirt pocket and still find knives, that you have to leave in your truck, because your building has a 2.5" blade rule.

You pick up side jobs in the neighborhood to pick up just one more...
When you ask your wife/family for an early Christmas present and it is June or an early birthday present and it's months away...
when your daughter learns the word "knife" as one of her beginning words at 14 months old...
When you loose one and find that you are going through the 5 stages of grief...
When you realize it is 4am and you have to go work soon but you've been hunting online for that one you just have to find...
when you keep a knife savings account and you need groceries...
when you actually get excited when you meet someone new and they bring up a knife conversation out of the blue only to be ticked that they do not know anything...
when you go to a big box store that sells knives only and they have never heard of GEC and you feel it is responsibility to educate not only them but the manager as well...
when you sit your niece and nephew down and give them a cutlery lesson because they had to have a academic reason for skipping school....

I could go on :D
 
Silenthunterstudios you need a batman utility belt.Not the new tactical batman but the olde traditional Adam West type belt.each knife would need to be labelled and prefixed with the word 'bat' eg bat northfield ranch hand'.
The movie Machete hassome good knife storage tips for carrying.
 
I probably have starred at my drawer of sharpened edc knives for 5min to decide which 2 im going to carry (always accompany whatever knife with a sak), and I always get odd looks when I break out a folder for food prep!

You have the traditional subforum open in one browser and the traditional exchange open in a second browser so you can rapidly tab back and forth. You know you do it :)

Guilty. :D These three tabs are always open in the browser on my phone. (I like to keep the GEC homepage open to see the front page knife each day.)

I found the thread in the search engine, didn't realize it was in the traditional forum until after I posted the pic (there was a similar thread in general, I didn't double check). I left it up though since there was one traditional knife in the pic... my bad though.
 
No worries. Happens frequently. We don't normally give infractions for it. We just move them.
 
Man,it's pretty bad,you guys got bit bad ;)

I'll add though,I knew I had a problem,when I became a knife " dealer " ,because I could not financially afford all of the knives I wanted to check out. Who knew I would create my own torture though. Someday I'll put a selfie here,Vince on line at the P.O. ,with tears in his eyes ,the sad send off .
