You know your addicted to knives when...

Wen you waste 30 minutes of your employer's time at the copy machine with a picture of the Busse you have on order, trying to make an exact life-size picture so you can get an idea of what it's going to be like.

(I could never have come up with this one if I hadn't actually done it!:D)

You should be ashamed of your self :p

Seriously that sounds like something I would do if I thought about it :D .
 
You know you are addicted to knives when...

- you and Ragnar are on a first name basis.
- you check this forum before you check your email
- sometimes you sharpen a knife that isn't really dull

That's probably the toughest decision I've got to make every day. I think I could name my child faster than I can decide which knives to carry.

My last knife purchase was at 2:30am! Since it was a knife knut to knife knut sale, we were both up and trading blades on-line.

Here's another one (true story):

-Your local knife shop keeps your wish-list on file and has your birthday marked on a big calendar for all employees to see. :D

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

--When you read through four pages of threads like these and realize that 99% of the signs apply to you.

Why would the banks freeze your crdeit card? I once bought several knives over the course of two or three months and never was even asked about them. (those were some happy months, btw :D )
 
1. You remove the clips from your folders so that you are (1) not ribbed by your friends and co-workers about carrying a knife, and (2) your knives are not noticed by LEOs.

2. You have a tailor sew "coin catches" into your pockets so that your folders stay in position without a clip.

-the seams of your pockets are all torn from abrasive knife clips and you try to pull your shirt over it all the time so that nobody notices it..
 
When you have to decide between one knife in one pocket and your phone or two knives.

yes happens to me all the time. I usually cary a knife (small fixed blade) a phone, my wallet, and during the school year 3 or 4 pencils/pens, and it gets uncomfortable so I often end up takeing my phone out.
 
I'm at work between 8 am and 5 pm on weekdays. Look at the time stamps on like 75 percent of my posts. Was there something better I was supposed to be doing at work? I think NOT! :D
 
When you watch movies just to find a knife in it and talk about it on a thread.

When the star of the movie is a knife and not Angelina Jolie.
 
You know your addicted to cutlery when you buy a new knife and inspect that sucker with 250 lumens of blinding furry.
 
When you use a Sharpie to ink out that portion of one of your blades that you're thinking of grinding to a nightmare grind... multiple times...
 
When you accidentally cut yourself and immediately grab a camera to take photos and share with the BF guys... :o

...and after taking said pics, smear the blood on a carbon steel knife because blood patina looks so cool. :cool:
 
Both of these were today...

-When you can't wait to dull a factory edge on a new knife just so you can sharpen it yourself.
-Girlfriend is sitting down for dinner and asks for a sharp knife. I got all excited and pulled out my new folder, only to find she wanted a steak knife. :yawn:

I'm fairly new to knife knut-kness, but waaay too many of these apply to me already!

When not at your home, and a friend asks to borrow a knife, you reply, "what kind you need?"

Perfect.



...My friends just say "Knife" and hold out their hand, like those scenes on TV where the surgeon says "Scalpel...clamp"

I need to start asking that instead of just handing them one at random.
