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

When I keep browz sites ands sites, at the same time there is a voice keep saying "Is there a new knife out yet."... "Is there a new knife out yet."...

Then you not only found out you have already become a knife nut, but also buying too many knives.
 
When both arms AND legs are bald....
(=x)
When you have more knife related stuff than textbooks on your desk and you're a high school student
 
Your a knife nut when you pay $140 for a Rat Trap, when the only Rats in the house have edges.

Your a knife nut when you ponder, "HK" or "Busse"...."Busse" or "HK"....
ahhhh "Infi".
 
You know you went over the edge when yesterday $50 seemed like a lot for a knife but today $200 seems like a bargain for what you want.

That's the one that proved I was a knut. 'Yesterday' (over a decade ago), $40.00 for a new knife was expensive (an Endura at the time). Today, $200.00 for a CF, PE Civilian is a bargain ;)
 
I can relate so much to some of these things that it is scary.
Here are a few of my own knife-knut habits:

-I started wearing shirts again because they give me extra pockets for knives and gadgets.
-I threw all my pencil sharpeners away (I use pencils a lot).
-I spend more time choosing my knives for the day than what it takes me to shower, get dressed and eat breakfast.
-I'm on a first name basis with a few custom makers in Argentina and the main knife shop in Buenos Aires gives me a 15% discount.
 
A few times I have jumped up on the spur of moment for a quick trip to the grocery store or somewhere. Rushed out the door and somewhere en route realized I did not have a knife on me. I actually have a moment of panic when that happens. Very real panic.
(I have since assigned an old Benchmade to permanent car console duty)
 
All of the above plus

you are on a long roadtrip back from the holidays and you plan the trip so you can "rest" in a town where a knife shop happens to be. "Oh, honey what a coincidence"

When you buy one then immediately start plainning your next purchase.

Hee hee, busted me with that one. SFArea<->LA trip. On the drive back, I casually mentioned that since we left so early, we'll have time to stop at Solvang. "They have really cute shops. [under my breath] And Nordic Knives is smack dab in the middle of the town.":D
 
All above, and some more:

- you use knife models and steel types as your passwords (ooops ! Now I have to change all... ;) )
- you carry an extra Spyder Edge knife just to lend it to your friends, since nobody can use your scarry sharp PE others...
- Your friends place bets to guess how many knives are you carying today...
- you pull out a RUKUS or a SKIRMISH just to open your mail, with a happy and satisfied face...
- You hate planes, for obvious reasons.

When you jump on the forums at 6:00am to brag about a new knife and rub it in that you are one of the first to own it!
When your Mail man sneeks up on your mail box and speeds off to avoid you!

This is totally me. Ive always bought cargo pants, but last time I was in a store looking at pants, I found myself looking at jeans becouse thay have that extra little pocket on the right side that is perfect for clipping a knife.

You get a new blade, but rather than rotate out one of the standard EDC ones you simply add it in somewhere to see if it's good enough to replace one of the normal ones. So.....6 to 8 blades later.......:D
