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

Sorry I'm so late replying, but if it's not too late, or for next time, try some zucchini sautéd in butter, and some raw tomato and motzerella cheese slices. ;)

Not to late, the menu is set through Monday. Looks like I am cooking next weekend.:D
 
Guilty of last minute knife changes here. Among many other things.


-Checking edges in your collection, knowing full well they haven't been used since the last touch up, JUST in case.

-A worn spot on your belt from "emergency" stropping, with an unused back up knife on your person.

-Taking and winning a bet to carry a different folder each work day for 6 weeks.

-Having co workers that would even think to make such a bet.

When you look at your Lady and think to yourself how you'd like to lube her pivot. You start by telling her that she looks sharp while admiring how her black pants have the same sheen as a ZT blackwash finish. You over look the shotty lock up of her designer belt buckle because your too busy trying to get to the ferro rod notch next to the pivot. There's of course no way to miss the rounded spine so you immediately want to see how well you can get your blade centered , but, alas, she's turned off by your knife porn mind and your forced into a hand rubbed finish.
So much for made in America, I'm going to get a cheap Asian knock off.

So, are you more of a XL Espada, or more Schrade Shapfinger?
 
While rocking your 1 year old to sleep with one hand, you're opening and closing a knife in the other...every night. And knife choice is based upon which ones are quietest.
 
When you switch your EDC at least three times per day
when your wife tells you to stop opening and closing your knife when she is around
when your co workers ask for advice when looking for a new knife
when you lecture people for asking if "that's legal" and can site the applicable laws
when at Christmas parties your family members ask to borrow your knife because you are known as the knife guy
when someone shows you a knife and you lecture them about sharpening or offer to sharpen it for them
your wife tells you your knives take up too much space in the bathroom
 
When you browse knifes and think: "No, this is something I am not interested in."

Then, months later, you find yourself hovering over the "buy" button or checking your funds. :D

Day 1: reads a forum post- "No I don't need that."
Day 4: reads another forum post- "Seriously, I have something similar already."
Day 7: checks item's sales page- "It IS slightly different... but it's too expensive"
Day 10: checks sales page again... adds to cart- "Why can't I get this out of my head? No it doesn't make sense."
Day 14: checks sales page again... adds to cart again... orders it - "I cant wait till it gets here!"

Day 15: reads a forum post about another item- "No I don't need that either."
... repeat steps until broke.

I'd never heard of Budk until I joined the forums, and have been buying knives a long time. Then randomly, I get a BudK catalog in the mail. At work! WTF?

Guilty as well. I looked at this damn Kizer Ki423 that came yesterday for a long time. I had almost decided on it when BHQ was having the sale for $104.99. After weeks of the above, I finally bought it, from BHQ for $139.99. Still cheaper than anywhere else. I'm an idiot.

Karma though. Added a ZT0770 CF to cart the night before MAP hit, was able to get it for $145. Scored an 0560 on the 'zon for $135. C'est la vie.

I know I'm a knife knut because despite disliking liner and frame locks, of the eleven folders I own three are liner locks and four are frame locks.
 
When you have a knife that's so worn out. You should give away or toss it. But can't, because you know it won't get the treatment it deserves.

Also in various states of disrepair for me.

My old trusty SOG mini X-Ray Vision is so worn. Got it for my birthday in 1999, its seen a lot of use. Has been the subject of me learning to sharpen as well. It once was a tanto. Now its an exceptionally pointy clip point. Couple of old folders (and a newish one) missing parts or need parts replacement. All sitting in my drawer next to my bed, along with my S&W Model 10, boxes of ammo, and other junk.
