you know you're a knife guy when...

When you have one on you, or near you, any time and everywhere except maybe in the shower...
 
You can frequently identify the knife in a stranger's pocket just by seeing the clip.

My wife makes fun of me for it all the time. I try to not say it anymore but it just blurts out!


When you spend more money on knives in one month than you do clothes for five years.
 
When friends and family finally start breaking down and showing interest. Never thought I'd hear my brother use the term "axis lock" :p haha
 
instead of just tearing an aluminized plastic bag or sachet with your teeth, you have to reach in to pull out a slipjoint (and even spend time deciding which blade to use.)

and then, dart your eyes around to watch other people's reaction to seeing your knife.
 
When you sit for 15 mins trying to decide what knife to take.
when you go into a state of shock when a knife breaks.
when you actually know the knife laws for your state.
 
When you look at all your knives and wish you had more stuff that needed cutting so all that sharpened steel won't go to waste.

When you will drive all the way home from work on your lunch break to pick up one of the knives you forgot that morning.

When you're with a group of people, and when one asks "Does anybody have a knife?", everyone points at YOU.

When you have more knives than you could possibly wear out if you lived ten lifetimes.
 
When you are sifting through mail on the kitchen counter, and you have one of these in the drawer right next to you:

Or a knife block within reach.
But you'd rather run to your room and grab your newly acquired "toy" to do the job.
 
When a patch of your arm hair refuses to regrow anymore.

When your missing a chunk of flesh from the side of your index finger and you only have partial feeling in the tip.

When someone asks to borrow your knife and you don't wanna give up your precious baby to them. So, you reluctantly hand them your least favorite knife, that you have with you, but you still nervously hover over them as they use your knife. After they hand it back, you sigh in relief and stroke your knife once before putting it away.
 
when You equate product values to knives. "that Tv is only the price of two hinderer's"
When your knife gets its own pocket. (nothing to scratch it)
When your vacations are going to a knife show.
 
When you buy 3 knives for your girlfriend to take with her on a school research trip to an island. One for the pocket, one for the hip, one for the daypack.

When you spend days trying to figure out what non-knife items you own that you can sell to buy more knives.

When everything in your house that's made of paper, cardboard, or wood has cuts/chips/stabs in them.
