You Know You're a Knife Knut When...

When you could open your mail by hand but you use your knife because its an excuse to use it
 
When that tool in your pocket isnt just a knife. It is a full flat ground ZDP 189 steel, lockback, a hole in lieu of a thumbstud to assist with opening, with skeletonized liners seated in bidirectionally textured frn handles. Or a S35vn blade with milled titanium slab handles, a Reeve integral lock that includes an overtravel stop, hollow ground with a swedge, thumbstuds that double as a stop pin, and a glass breaker. A knife is never just a knife again. Its a symphony of technology, design, and function that you carry on your person.
 
When you pull out your 4+ inch folder, and someone jumps and asks "Why do you need such a Big knife?"...
And you say "That's my small knife... THIS is my BIG knife!" And then you pull out the 6+ inch fixed blade off your belt.
I love doing that... Hehehehe!
 
When your reputation precedes you and when meeting new people many exclaim "Oh! You're the knife guy that XYZ told me about."
 
I have 4 Fiddleback Forge 16 inch machetes 2 od green and 2 black linen micarta and a 18 inch machete , and some cheep ones that I don't use any more.
 
when you are more upset that you forgot your knife than your cell phone or wallet when you left the house.
 
When you have sharpening equipment.

Good point. Perhaps when the amount of money you've spent on sharpening equipment becomes startlingly close to the amount you've spent on knives. Or maybe when you start dreaming about how creamy feeling your next waterstone will be.
