You know you're a knife Knut when...

You know that your friends knives are dull, only because You haven't sharpened them recently...

When camping/doing yard work/anything requiring a knife and you ask if a knife is sharp and get annoyed when their response is "I don't know" or "it doesn't matter".

Also while camping/yard work/anything you smile if someone starts to ask you "can you sharpen this?" and they only manage to get halfway through asking when they trail off saying "why am I asking, of course you can..."

I say when you waste 10 minutes reading 3 pages on a message fourm to check to see if you're really a knife nut or not!
Then waste a few more minutes looking at the photo on it naming and judging another knife nuts collection in his bathroom drawr.....
Yep I'd say we're nuts!
Gotta love it!

Ok, I know I am a knut... But I also know I'm not the only one. How I decided was based upon the fact I sat here and started to name the spydercos.
 
When you're mad at yourself for wasting 20 years on cheap knives at Wally world and Academy.

When you're embarrassed because you've owned a gas station knife in the past.

When you know that M390 and CTS-204P are the same steel from different companies.

When you know that CPM is not a designation you earned in college or trade school.

When you go to the local gun shows every weekend to sell your knife sheaths and hope to meet more "knife guys".

When the vendors at all the guns shows don't even remember your name but everyone knows you as "the knife guy".

When you start planning your family vacation around Blade.

When the local knife supply store has your business cards in their display case for customers wanting a custom sheath or a knife pimped.

When you and a cousin (fellow knife knut) pack up all knives and drive 100's of miles on a Saturday to meet up and have an annual "Knife Fest" every year and see each others knives.

When you buy, sell, own, and trade enough knives to have an annual Knife Fest with your cousin.

When you get up at 5:00 a.m. on a Saturday so you have time to get on BF before going to work, the gun and knife shows, or Knife Fest with your cousin.:D

Awesome list:D:thumbup:
 
to those on the outside, the fact that you even know about Bladeforums would prove that you are a knife nut. never mind the fact that you've probably spent hundreds of hours (my goodness, I'm wasting my life) looking at pictures of strangers knives, and debating the relative merits of this or that steel, or sharpening method, etc. If your here, your prolly a knife nut. We are talking about a whole other level, at this point.
 
Yesterday, I was sharpening my coworkers's Tenacious that I gifted him for his birthday. He briefly questioned the way I was sharpening and my boss said, "you are trying to tell Byron that he is sharpening your knife wrong? The main sharpens and shaves with a straight razor and you are questions his sharpening skills?" It was all in good fun but was completely hilarious at the same time

Hello, my name is Byron, and I am a knife knut.



When someone shows you there knife and you know you could cut it in half with your own......and still shave arm hairs. :)

you find out from your doctor that knife mange is not a real disease and you're disappointed.
 
You know what a "Gaanzaa" and a "Sprint Run" are! ;)

You have knife websites broken into separate groups by specific brands and customs you're always shopping for.

The F5 key on your computer has been used so much, it has a higher polish than the mirror finish on a custom blade.

You're comfortable knowing that ordering from some makers means you're sitting at the event horizon of a black hole where time has stopped. :p
