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

[Ruzster]

I just cut everything open because I've torn things to far before spilling them.

This. Call and raise.

when your truck is on fire and you go into the topper on back for the backpack but leave your wallet on the console in the cab ...

yes a man did this years ago when I was still on the volunteer fire dept. ... he saved a few knives and his hatchet ... and the cookstove that the fuel that started the fire in his truck was met to be used in ...

he got an arm burned pretty badly buy saved his pack and all the knives and hatchet ...

A new knife arrives in the mail, and before you open it, you go put on a clean shirt and comb your hair to make a good first impression.

 

[oldtymer]

When the mail comes & you're not annoyed that their all bills because you still get to slice them open.

 

[Work Truck Man]

When you go to Walmart the first thing you do is go straight to the knife section

 

[mt666tm]

When the receptionist at work walks over with another small package and says "hiding another knife from your wife?"

And you both laugh and she says "should I be expecting more to arrive this week" ... and you shamefully lower your head and say "yes"

That package was a Benchmade 531

 

[ChazzyP]

When you see these words on packaging and your first thought is....

"I don't think so."

What zip-lock opener?

A $400 knife to slit 1 mil bag to get at a couple 10 cent parts (only needed the hooks)? Not overkill to a knife knut.

When you get a shaving cut on your leg from testing the edge of a knife you just sharpened.

When you're out and realize you forgot your cell phone, but you don't care because you didn't forget you knife.

When you ask Alexa about the tip up or tip down question.

When you ask Alexa what ats-34 is and she has no idea what you are talking about.

When you ask on BladeForums if trimming your hedge with a katana is a good idea.

When it's your wife's idea to just leave the liquid skin out on the counter.

I would be very afraid of results from an internet search for "tip up, or tip down?".

After reading this the first thing I did was google it......Who knew carrying a knife in a certain way could be a controversial subject to write,type, or talk about

 

[Billy The Blade]

...When you can justify carrying
a plain edged and a serrated edged folder in each front pocket,
along with deep pocket carried
SAK & multi-tool, and a fixed blade sheath knife on your belt,
in the event of this, that, or the other.

[Wowbagger]

When . . .
you wake up a half hour earlier on a day off (after a grueling week, knowing you will have to work six days next week ) . . . because you are excited about an idea that just popped into your head about a new solution on how to prevent the SecurEx sheath from dulling your new knife that you just sharpened (but don't need in the least) . . .
and while posting about it stop on the way to a desperately needed pee break because you decided to take a photo for the forum of your $25 knife
then
stop to agonize over the photos you took to choose "just the right one".

What ?
No I didn't do that ! ! !
I'm just saying that would be a particularly Knutty thing to do.

 

[Wowbagger]

When everyone at work knows your a knife guy, and during a Saturday morning meeting, one of them needs to cut a thin metal wire holding an old banner above the showroom, so they all jokingly point to you, and you have to sit them all down and explain to them why you can't let them use your XM to try and cut a metal wire, and the whole meeting basically turns into a passive aggressive power point presentation of steel composition and what materials are appropriate for a knife to cut. And then everyone hates you.

ROFLMAO
Actually the mild steel in the wire wouldn't bother the knife if one could exert enough force to complete the cut.
However that is about the best argument I can think of for carrying a toothy edge.

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

When you accompany your wife on regular 45 minute cross border drives from Canada to the US to be dragged around a mall, Target and Walmart just to see what new Case, Ontario, Spyderco and USA Kershaws the Wallyworld has in stock.
