You know your addicted to knives when...

how bout this one...

You know you're addicted to knives when you know you're addicted to knives.
 
When your Wife is upstairs butt-nakey beckoning and you yell, "Hold on there's only 12 minutes left in this auction." Of course she yells back down, "Ooh 10 minutes longer than what we were going to do anyway!"
 
When every postman at the post office knows you by name. One guy at the PO always asks me, "Is this the one?" :D

When you can keep current on the local news from several foreign countries by reading the packing paper in the knives you receive.
 
When your 5 year old notices that you bought another new knife and looks at you like you need help. " Did you buy another knife dad?"
 
When your bank issues you a new credit card, citing irregular activity on your account.

My card has been frozen at least 4 times due to knife purchases. It's been awhile now though.... maybe they finally gave up on monitoring me. :D

Your girlfriend asks you for the third time to stop opening/closing your knife while you are sitting behind the computer.

or

you are really doubting between spending your money on a couple of new knives, or on your holiday

When you are sharpening a few knives and your stone collection makes the work bench look like a geology exibit. "Lookit all dem purty rocks."
 
When you plan your family vacation around Blade, Blade West, A. G. Russell's Knife Event, or any other knife show.
 
When you take 3 knives into the shower with you.

When there are little scraps of paper all over the floor around your desk.

When you give up justifying why you need the next knife and just give in to the urge.
 
we played this game on knifeforums not too long ago, fun game!

this is what i had posted:

1. You've got bare arms and/or bald patches on your legs

2. You're girlfriend has to explain what Coach is to you as "The Benchmade of Purses"

3. You live to hear people say, "anybody got a knife?"

4. You desperately rewind and rewatch scenes from movies/tv shows to see what knife a character is carrying, just so you can judge them for it.

5. At dinner parties you notice that the host's cutlery is full tang.

6. You whip out your knife and examine it when you take a dump (gross but you know you do it).

"when you switch from collecting guns to collecting knives to save money... and you don't"
 
-i have a dedicated sharpening area in my house.
--i sharpen other places, but the sharpening place is only for sharpening.

-i spent 5 minutes playing with folders and trying to decide which one i should use to open my bills.

-when cutting up a bunch of boxes, i took 3 knives to the garage to do the work. i only have two hands.

-i rotate what's in my pocket when im at home, in between smoke breaks.
 
... when you have certain knives specifically for special occasions, holidays, as well as for particular tasks. For example, "It's the 4th of July today, where's my stars & stripes knife?" or "I'm making BBQ ribs tonight. Where's my rib cutting knife?".
 
These reasons make me feel addicted;

:jerkit:
  • When I go to my girl for the weekends and take at least 6 or 7 High End folders with me every time. Just in case...
  • The day I decide to purchase a new one, I'd rather cross half the country and spend more money and time that way,
    than wait 1 day for the knife to arrive by mail.
  • Every night I decide how many and wich knives are gonna spend the night besides my bed.
  • When I decided to start my own webblog only bout my knives and photograpy.
  • When I dont read the papers no more on the wc, but spend my time well by playing with one of my knives again.
  • The moment I start looking for a new knife to buy on the net when I have a brand new one for a couple of hours.

etc. etc. etc.

You guys already wrote some very, very good reasons..



Who said it was gonna be easy to be knife addicted :D
