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

When someone says wow that's a nice knife, how much did it cost? You have to lie so they don't remember you as the 400 dollar knife guy...
 
When, for every gift-giving occasion, you give people knives (the knives YOU like, not what THEY might like)...
 
When the person who you talk knives with the most buys from budk and you have to act interested when they show you their budget blades.
 
When you're surrounded by them and have 4 on you even in sleep and there is at least one at every table, desk, window and even taped the ceiling fan...

OK, I gotta ask about this, how and why is one taped to the ceiling fan? Are you trying for a full-room blender or something?
 
…..your wife has to limit your collection to what will fit in a duffel bag. (Lucky for me I have a really big duffel bag)
 
When you have little slivers of paper all around your desk from testing blade sharpness.....

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.

Yup! I definitely identify with this way of thinking!

When you see the inevitable "List all your knives" threads pop up and you shake your head moving on thinking, "silly noob amatures". There are text charactor limits to posts you know. And besides, who in their right mind keeps an inventory list of over 800 knives spanning over 100 years? Really? A store maybe.

Wait a minute!!!! You mean EVERYONE doesn't keep track of every knife they have ever bought, even if they don't have it any longer????

...you maintain a spreadsheet with details like name of knife, date purchased, amount paid, technical specs and date of last sharpening. And you keep the spreadsheet on your phone so you can reference it when you're out and about.

...you have to add a separate rider to your homeowners' insurance just for your knives.

...you've ever spent over an hour slicing different things to figure out which knife does the best job on different materials.

...you've ever told a perfect stranger, "Don't do that, you'll ruin the edge."

Yep to all of the above :D:D

...realizing you left your knife at home doesn't matter, since you still have 2 spares.

when you never "realize you left home with out a knife" because you NEVER leave home without a knife.
 
When your biggest concern about the airport is how to safely get your knife to your destination with you still being able to get on the plane so you don't get separated. While everyone else is worried about missing the flight or the TSA.

When the News and Goverment agencies would refer to you carry for one day as EDCs as an "arsenal". 4 knives on me, 1 primary, 1 backup in the backup in case I forget, 2 multi-tools on the keychain. Though I was given a bad time by a beautiful red head before because I only had those 4 with me, she had 7. Besides the 1 in her front right pocket I don't know where she stashed the other 6 that day. But I've seen her produce a knife out of her cleavage and clipped inside her waistband on a skirt so she does get creative. And I've seen her produce cuffs out of no where to cuff another student to a desk cause she was a tad bit too hyper for her from a can of coke, let's just say Spanish was interesting that year.

That's a really cool sheath... I am a lefty myself, wish I had a couple folder sheaths like that and a couple more for some of my fixed blades...

Thanks! The stock sheaths that come with the Buck 110'just don't do it for me. To big and bulky. The gator hide is from a gator my uncle shot (legally with tags) several years ago. Also, just some icing on the cake, that little knife on the monopoly board will whittle hair. My wife thinks I have a problem.

I just came up with another one: when you are sitting in a hospital room and you absolutely know you have the sharpest knife in the building. "hey, you think that scalpel is sharp?"

Reminds me of an episode of Surpernatural one brother was put into a situation were he magically became a doctor and needs to operate on his brother in a hospital (one of those episodes they just say screw it lets just have fun with this episode and do something stupid). This is what he said in the operating room while his brother was on the table "Sam: I need a pen knife, some dental floss, a sewing needle, and a fifth of whiskey. Stat!" single handily one of the best lines I've heard on TV. So I imagine they borrowed your knife.

I have and i know exactly what you're talking about!

Although one knutty reason I love the show is the amount of cool knives that show up. Two of my favorites are the Kershaw Storm II and Kershaw Speed Bump. Buck 110 was a staple knife in seasons 2-3 if I remember correctly. They find lots of uses for knives in that show.
 
Your fiancé asks if you have a knife.
She then retracts that question with;
"Oh, yeah, let me see your knife".
