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

[rje58]

... you accidentally cut yourself with a knife in your EDC rotation, and even as your chasing the paper towels and the Neosporin, you're secretly happier about how freakin' sharp your knife is, than you are ticked off at your negligence in cutting yourself.

Your wife buys super glue in bulk at Sam’s or Cosco

 

[BitingSarcasm]

You have a brand preference on clotting agents and antibiotics, and you have different kinds of super glue for different injuries.

When you have a mortgage but your highest monthly expense is still knives

When you speak with your doctor about a fictional disease called Knife Mange.

you check for edge damage in case it hit your bone too hard

You know youre a knife nut when you always spend 20+ minutes carefully combing though the kitchen cutlery at Goodwill, coming back to the cutlery and double checking and eying the bins of new arrivals to be absolutely sure you don't miss a single knife.
You search and search for anything marked USA, but also accept Sheffield, Germany , or Sweden.
even though you probably don't need anything else, you cant resist for ¢50- $2.

You also know you're a knife nut when you cut yourself with a knife you're fondling literally as you comment here on blade forums about how sharp it is. ( This actually happened to me )

Screw those shocks, tires, injectors, swaybar links, and fixing the rust on my truck....I need that new M390 Zieba S5 Smoke with the stacked skulls backspacer!
The everlastingly lit check engine light is a glowing beacon for my knifeknuttedness.

The glowing dashboard light can end up as an invitation to a knife adventure.

Pfft, that’s nothing. How about when you drop your knife and you’re secretly happy it landed tip down in your foot rather than dinging the tip and breaking it on the tile floor.

Still got the scar too.

Haha that’s awesome.

When you can build multiple Frankenstein knives out of all the extra pieces you have laying around...

I still have a scar on my left index finger which I cut during my whittling work when I was 10. I am secretly proud of it.

I thought joining a knife forum in the first place was a pretty good indicator. I like a lot of things but don't bother joining a forum dedicated to them unless I'm really into it.

There was a similar thread to this a couple years back with some really excellent responses. One that I recall that was particularly amusing went something like, "...when you use your knife primarily to open boxes containing other knives."

 

[Therom]

When:
1- your pants have damaged right front pockets
2- carboards are the first thing you check when entering in a room
3- don’t see the point of hand spinners because you have flippers

When you lose count of how many times you've cut yourself.
