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

When you know more about knives than the guys selling knives at the local Gun and Knife Shows...
 
You know your a knife nut when:

When you baby your knives more than anything else

When you tell someone the history of a knife they're carrying and they have no idea what your talking about (friend of mine has a vintage schrade ot and i overlooked it, telling him its a beautiful schrade, looks at me and says "what?" , tell him to sit down its going to take a minute)

When people start to question your sanity

When you start giving quality knives to all of your knifeless friends and s.o.

During lunchbreak at work you go buy a knife instead of food

You always know one knife on you is not enough

When you have five tabs open to the five different online retailers that have been authorized to sell a highly anticipated new knife. You're waiting anxiously for the sale to begin at 9:00 PT, counting down the minutes, the seconds. You frantically hit the Purchase button on one site only to watch in horror as the web site freezes due to the unprecedented traffic volume. Your heart stops a beat, and you hop to the next tab, praying the sucker isn't already sold out.

You hit Purchase again and, to your utter amazement, the knife is in your shopping cart! You're sure you have but seconds left to finalize the purchase, so you frantically enter your credit card info. You choose the default shipping option because by now you're convinced this can't be actually happening. There is no way you're going to actually pull this off. You finalize the purchase and wait for the confirmation email.

EMAIL CONFIRMATION! But wait! The knife was oversold on some sites! So you refuse to check your email for hours because you don't want to get that dreaded Refund message. Finally, you check your email and, astoundingly, you have SHIPPING CONFIRMATION!

.... That, my friends, is a clear sign that you're a knife knut.
 
I have another example.
When I click on the safari app on my iphone, there are 4 pages that pop up
1. General knife discussion
2. Maintenance, tinkering and embellishment
3. Buck Knives Subforum
4. Traditional Folders and Fixed Blades


These 4 pages ALWAYS stay on my phone

That's a really low bar to meet.

A lot of the vendors at such shows are so caught up in their lies that they can no longer distinguish between real and counterfeit.
 
When you need to tighten up your belt because you are carrying so much gear.
when you see a non knife nuts knife and you think "I bet mine is sharper"
when all of your pants pockets are stretched on the side.
when you tell a friend how much your knife costs and they are shocked by the number you told then but you told them only half of what it costs.
when you have the box from every knife you have ever bought.
when you put a flat spot on the edge of your knife and you think about it for the rest of the day.
when you see knives on tv and you pause the movie/show to see what it was.
when your browser history has more knife reviews than anything else.
when you buy pants you wont buy them unless the pockets are huge.
 
1. My girl knows all the good brands by osmosis .
2. When I buy a knife I end up carrying both my (regular) EDC and the new knife all day. (not including my SAK or course)
3. When you are late it makes you take longer to choose a knife because of the pressure.(what if you really need a tough knife today what about a slicer???
4. When you do outdoor camping type activities you carry more than 4 knives on your person.
5. When you know you are are going on trip you begin thinking about what knives to bring long before you even think about clothes.
6. You seriously think about not visiting people at the hospital because you have to go through a metal detector (meaning leaving your EDC and other gear in the car)
7. You carry a $100 plus dollar fixed blade to do yard work.
8. You change your knife if you are going to grill out.
9. You bring loaner knives for camping in case others want to be cool too.
 
When getting stitches due to an accident with your own blade.....

you smile as the nurse says, "Damn, must've been sharp. It's a clean cut all the way in."
 
When you spend more time making a perfect lanyard, than you did fixing a present for your girlfriends birthday ;)
(This also applies when buying a knife compared to buying a gift for her :rolleyes: )
