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

You know your a knife geek when your anti sheeple freinds ask "Dude... are you going to war" (ok so I had on cargo pants and was making the best use of them with a 12" inch kukri in the right pocket, a gerber in the lower pocket and a diving knife in the left all ready to be fast accessed.)

You know your a knife geek if youve ever gone, "is that a smith and wesson" to a random person on the street while only seeing it sticking out of their pocket.

If youve ever heard "you DON'T have a knife?" accompanied by gasps
 
When.........

You suddenly have two or more of each one. (usually more)

You run out of places on your body to shave hair, and ask your wife to volunteer a spot!! :eek: :eek: :cool:
 
You think that the highlight of a European trip was when you walked past a guy on top of an old ladder trying to screw the top rung back in place with the point of a mud spatulla, and you whip out your big SAK, and take pictures of him using the phillips head. Then when you show friends pics of the trip, this one makes you feel the best.
 
You know you're a knife nut, when you spend $1000 on a knife that is just as usable and durable as a $50 knife.
 
-- When you nick yourself while sharpening, instead of thinking “Oh crap that hurts” or “I’m bleeding!”, you think “Wow that’s a sharp blade! Look how effortlessly it sliced open my flesh!”

Agree! I was sharpening and accidentally sliced off some skin from my third finger that was holding the stone. I sharpened freehand, one hand on the knife, the other holding the stone. Luckily it wasn't deep enough to reach any blood vessel, but that fingertip stayed tingling for days :eek:
 
You're a knife knut when you never have to buy band-aids again because of how often you order from New Graham.

You're a knife knut when your knife "to buy" list is longer than your life "to do" list.
 
...when you visit the Leatherman Website just to open and close all the different models. Ya'll do that, don't ya? :D
 
You know you're a dumb-ass knife knut when your car is broke down on the side of a road bought to be towed and you spend your only cash on 2 new knives. (chinook and another 806)
 
My father asked me to clean and sharpen his Schrade Sharpfinger. I spent about an hour getting most of the rust etc off with an eraser, still have to polish it. Spent a couple minutes sharpening it, then stropped it. Gave it to him, he hadn't used it in years, really happy with it. Checked the sharpness by lightly running his thumb along the edge. Put it back in its sheath, leaving the guard out of the sheath, the main reason why it had so much rust on the blade! I almost flipped out! I proceeded to tell him about the ordeals of carbon steel etc, showed him the pitting etc. He told me that it was probably from the deer blood, when he used it hunting. I agreed, but asked him what he used to clean it off. His answer? Snow. I almost hit the roof. I tried to explain to him that his knife was a collectible and that he should take care of it etc. He just smiled and said the Sharpfinger was all he needed for a knife.


So what, my 75 knives are overkill? :D

That's not funny. The main reason I wear a watch is to hide the bald spot.
Unfortunately, the bald spot tends to be larger than the watch.

When your friends and family make fun of you when you DON'T have a knife on you.

Other than going on a plane, there's probably been 3 times in the last 10
years that I didn't have a knife on me. All three times, my brother asked
me to borrow my knife; then spent the next few weeks making fun of me...

You know you're a knife knut when:

a. When going on a trip, you select and EDC, and 3 identical "backups" "just in case"
b. Yeah, bald spots.
c. Nearly everyone you know asks you to sharpen their knives
d. You think sharpening knives is fun.
e. Typically, you can sharpen a friends knife in under 1 minute
f. The question, "Hey, do you have a knife" just never comes up anymore
g. If/when the question does come up, you're friends just roll their eyes.
h. You feel NAKED walking through an airport.
i. You don't understand people who never carry knives.

How about when your (young) kids have already figured out NEVER to play with knives because they have seen you do enough damage to yourself---especially true for Balisongs?

How about when your wife simply gives up asking what those little packages are that come in the mail so often?

How about when your wife doesn't even bother asking why you bought ANOTHER knife?

How about when you see knives on e-Bay and you know how much they retail for and how much they have recently sold for on e-Bay.

And...as many other have noted...when the $100 you paid for that bargain Benchmade on e-Bay seems cheap.
 
Oh yeah--I forgot one:

When you can identify knives in people's pockets just from what shows of the clip and the part of the knife that shows....
 
When your first reaction to That Yellow Bastard's (from Frank Miller's Sin City movie) custom Buck survival knife (the "Rambo Knife") isn't fear, but rather "what an impractical blade shape :rolleyes:", second reaction is amusement at the fact that the prop department, in trying to make a "scary" knife, has instead made a *silly* one

If TYB simply used an off-the-shelf Spyderco Civillian, it'd be a *lot* scarier than the strange knife created by cross-breeding a Klingon Dk'Tahg with a Buckmaster....
 
You can't wait for the words "does anyone have a knife on them" so you can display the folder you are carrying that day...
 
I think it's time to bring this one back to the top. :D

Here's one:

You leave the house with three knives and a multi-tool, but forget your wallet, keys, cell-phone or other indispensible non-knife gear.
 
How about when you would rather change clothes than have to pick a different knife. I don't wear certain pants anymore because my favorite knives don't ride comfortably in the pockets.
