You know your addicted to knives when...

- when you strop your edc in the morning before heading to work.
- when the first thing you do after getting home in the evening is strop your edc blade.
- when you start edc'ing a fixed blade.
- when invited to dinner at a mates house, they ask if you could "please bring a knife sharpener...."

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:

Not sure if I'm more creaped out by realizing that I do that, or that more than one other person does that too. lol good one

You know you're an addict when:

you carry a sharpening stone in your pocket daily, gotta keep em sharp!

You care constantly picking up little slivers of paper, plastic, recipts, news print, hair, that you "tested" the sharpness with.

You have attempted to shave with your EDC.

You state in awe of people using scissors opened end for end to open boxes.

Seeing a pocket clip instantly turns a creepy stranger into someone worth talking to.

You can figure out a person's personality by what knife they carry. "Ex: only jovial people and frenchmen carry opinels" "Be ware of anyone who considdered dark ops a knife company"
 
When your collection is worth more than your car - and you've got an expensive car.
When your collection is documented in a database that needed normalization to 3NF.
When your kids know all the brands, models, specs, steels, locking types, scale materials.
When you can always tell which knife you're holding - blindfolded, underwater, with gloves on.
When there's a really intense movie on TV, and all you can think to do is get your Edge Pro out again.
When there's a really intense movie on TV and all of a sudden you remember you forgot to take that spine shot of your Manix II.

I could go on forever but I don't have time. Something pointy and sharp is calling... :eek:
 
When you live on ramen noodles and pbj samitches so you can save up buy your next knife. :D

... your happy place is your local knife shop,:)
... and you try to recommend knives to other customers.:D
 
When you return home, are at the airport and you going to take an coin in the handbag and discover a SAK Victorinox Soldiers (70's) was have not been detected en security control.

(And is a knife that you don't like to gift to airport autorities)
 
You know your addicted to knives when you carry a knife to church and birthday parties.

You know your addicted to knives when you flick your knife open and closed while watching tv.
 
When: You can't remember your anniversery date but you can do an ad-hoc two hour presentation about various properties of steel.
 
When EDC choice is more important than clothes to wear at work
When the girlfriend says " I bet you can't go one day without talking about knives" and you lose every time
When a co-worker opens a box with a pen and your spine shudders.
The two/three/four knives you have on you as EDC have a specific purpose/application.
 
When someone needs to use your SAK, and you become disappointed that they didn't need a Benchmade.
 
When numbers or acronyms unrelated to knives remind you of specific models or steels.

When getting a girl's number, you can't remember their name, but you can remember that their number is only two digits away from your favorite knife.

Why should these days be different than any other day? :confused:

...you justify buying a BM943 by saying that you ''need'' a knife that doesnt look strange in your black suit you're going to wear at your sisters wedding... And the steel liners of the 710 or 707 attrack too much attention, the green G10 of the 710-801 doesn't fit the other colors and the mini-ritter grip looks and feels just too cheap for dress pants and a wedding... ;)

When you flip open your Benchmade Mini Pocket Rocket really hard, over and over, just to hear that heavy blade slap home...

When you hold your favorite folder closed in the reverse position and flip it open, and slash left then right and finish with a downward stabbing motion, all in less than one second...

When you flip open your favorite short folder in a reverse position with your left hand while your right hand flips open that other bad boy... all in the dark... with nary a worry about losing control of the blades...

-You always misspell "spider" as "Spyder" and "bird" as "Byrd"
-You expanded your garage to store your Busse collection
-You spend more time deciding what knife to carry than what clothes to wear
-You have enough customs to feed a starving nation

lol feel free to add on

-You start threads on a knife forum using improper grammar in the thread title.
 
When you are planning a trip, and you debate for days on which knife you are going to risk putting in your checked baggage, and consider shipping a knife to your hotel instead, but decide to buy a knife at Wal-Mart after you arrive at your destination, and then when it's time to go home, you ship that one home in a USPS Priority box that you brought with you.

Yup, I truly did that.
