You know your addicted to knives when...

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.

When you have exactly 87 knives on your "want to buy" list (I just counted :D)

When you can't afford to buy one of those knives at present, you spend your free time (i.e., all your non-bf.com time) adding fun info. about all of those knives on the list, price, materials, ordering, etc.

When your "want to buy" list has grown to over 4 pages, single spaced, exclusive of pics.

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

Hmm, that's 338 posts since December of last year, w/over 200 at work--we're all so very proud of you for having those priorities in order. :p
 
You know you're addicted to knives when you own 5 or 6 knives that cost you over $400 each (some, well over) and you're still lusting after a $50 great value knife.

pfft.

when my friends ask to "borrow" or "use" one of my knives, they get handed a Mora Clipper 860.

they know they'll get handed the clipper and that i'll look at them funny if they ask to use one of MY knives.

Moras, the knife every knife addict needs to own. even if for no other reason than as a loaner blade.

That is such a huge pleasure!


I was watching True Blood and someone was cutting a human heart with a kitchen knife - I watched the way the knife cut and though "I could get that knife way sharper, almost all my knives would slice easier than that".

guilty! If only they could sharpen as well as you, so I'll say...

you know your addicted to knives when you offer to sharpen your friends and family's kitchen knives for free (because it's so therapeutic).
 
Ok, I'm scoring pretty high up here... Is that bad?

- When the knife on your belt is worth more than the car you are driving! :D

I mean with a namesake like "addictedtosteel" what can I say? Admission is either the first step to solution - OR THE LAST STEP IN ACCEPTANCE!!!
 
When you start to purchase knives from vendors overseas, you've got a problem. Or what about when you buy duplicates? When you watch youtube videos late at night which feature knife reviews from total strangers, you've got an issue! Please refer to my former posts on this bizarre addiction which is as difficult to control as herding cats.
 
You know you are addicted to knives, when your girlfriend tells you in a seductive voice: "Honey come to bed but take your knives out of your pocket.";)

True story. :thumbup:
