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

[Quiet]

When you see no issue paying $850 for a knife that doesn't cut any better than the $45 SAK in your offside pocket!

 

[Astronaut FX]

You start a “you know you’re a knife knut when...” thread.

When you are driving several hours away to your daughter's basketball tournament and you are wondering what kind of knife handles all those old gnarly, burly trees you are passing would make.

When you buy a knife despite the fact that you have Way too many at home......including the one that you’re buying. But hey it’s A different variation!

When the delivery guy hands you a package and says "your knife is here". And it doesn't matter which driver, USPS, UPS, Fed Ex, they ALL know.

When you buy a Bowie with an artistic Damascus pattern made from the barrel of a German Leopard tank and a precious handle made of the tusk of a narwhal with guard and butt made of the same Damascus steel for 20,000.00$ and you own a 1000.00$ corolla.

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

you post threads on a knife forum titled "You know you're a knife nut when..."

















For real though I know that feeling...

...you cut wayyy back on alcohol for the sole purpose of having more cash for knives...

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."

When you buy a knife you know you will never use but it's just so incredibly beautiful / awesome / exciting you must have it...

 

[abbazaba]

You buy knives you don't even like because they were such a good price!

 

[katanas]

HEY, you two above; what's unusual about that?

 

[herisson]

Just outed yourself as a certified knife nut !

 

[katanas]

Thank you. I am honored, and soon to be broke. (not really, but whew, could have been. )

 

[BadComrade]

when you have a credit card that you just use to buy and pay off knives

You know you're a knife knut when..

You have these knives on you for the day but . . .


You specifically take a fourth knife in your back pack to work just to test the edge on certain hard to cut things.
Pretty knutty huh ?
Last week the S30V edge on the Para2CamoDLT was sharpened and polished on Shapton Glass stones and this week I'm seeing if the same edge sharpened on all diamond stones and polished all the way up to 8,000 DMT is a better more durable better cutting edge.
(and in deed it seems to be better off the Diamonds)(the edge from the Shapton Glass stones seemed to break down rapidly) Pretty subjective you say but I have made these exact same cuts for thirty years and can tell subtleties in an edge and an alloy pretty quickly. I have very, very little experience with S30V so, for me, it's a new adventure.

You know your a knife knut when you feel like you have a closer bond with your knife after you cut yourself with it.

You know you’re a knife Knut when you’ve answered one of these posts for the 100th time.

You know you’re a Knife Knut when you’re worried that you’re wife will sell your knives for what you told her you paid for them and not what they’re worth.

“Honey, how much did you pay for this knife that says Rockstead?”

“I got it for $20 why?

“That’s cheap, just askin’ in case something happens to you and I have to sell them. “

Yea, the anxiety of her possibly sellin’ a Sebenza for $25.

I do have a inventory program that lists what I have, what I paid for it, where it came from whether it’s been bought, gifted or won in a GAW. it also list who to contact here on BFC so she can sell and get the most money so some auctioneer or pawnshop doesn’t get them for nothing.

So I’d also say you’re a Knife Knut when you have more paper work for your knives and what to do with them in the event of your untimely demise but don’t have a Last Will and Testament.
