You Know You're a Knife Knut When . . .

"You're a knifenut when your girlfriend knows almost as much about knives as you do, without ever reading anything about knives and not being particularly interested in knives."

This is a quote from my girlfriend after she saw the topic of this thread.

And I was starting to think it was just me! and to think I thought that maybe I needed to seek some sort of therapy or something. There's comfort in numbers huh?

You know you`re a knife nut when you consistently spend more time deciding what knife to carry that day than what clothes you`ll wear.
Also if $200.00 seems like a lot to pay for everything except a knife,you`ve got it bad

Milin: Hello my name is Milin.

Group: Hello Milin!

Milin: My name is Milin... and I am a Knife Knut. Yes, I am flicking my knivessss behind this podium.

When you dream and dream about a particular knife, you get it, and then dream and dream about some other knife afterwards.

When you look at a map of the U.S. and the world and find yourself looking for the places where knives are manufactured.

When every time you go into a hardware or outdoor store you must check to see if and what type knives they sell.

When you're really happy to spot a knife you own in a movie.

When walking in a public place, you secretly think of yourself as "this person who is carrying a Spyderco Endura" (or Chris Reeve Sebenza, or Benchmade Axis, or whatever).

When you find yourself in public checking other people's front pockets for knife clips.

When you collect knife catalogs because they make "good reading."

When you HAVE to got on BF every single day. (BTW, if you're like me, at Y2K to the 2nd or so, DON'T!!!)

When you spend more time worrying what clothes go with your knife instead of the other way around.

You know we are knife nutts:

You search frantically for that article in the hundreds of magazines you have scattered throughout the house, on the knife you just bought...to see what the media opinion is...you find it somewhere near the johnny...

You've got a hot date and you just can't decide which knife to wear so you take several and your date thinks you some kinda nutt, cause as you reach into your pocket the Paragon auto has popped open and your bleeding all over the cashier!!

You freak out cause your spouse just happens to grab your most prized polished knife to cut up chickens and she keeps trying to take slices off the fork...NOOOOO!!!

When you have your wife sew six 5"X 2" pockets on the inside of your suits so you can carry several knives to dressy occasions!!

You build musical instruments with pocket knives...

When your trusty dog carries his own Spyderco C26 Snapit on his collar and knows to fetch your Tri-Angle Sharpmaker!!!

Face it if you spend more than 3 hours a week in this forum....your a NUTT

When you bitch whine and moan about the $124 it will cost for the pedals on your bike, but spend 6 times as much at a knife show.

When you coordinate mid-tour leave from Saudi Arabia to coincide with the Blade Show in Atlanta.........then cry when you cannot leave until the 24th of June due to personnel shortages.

When you e-mail Dexter Ewing about a knife and find out that he DOESN'T have one yet!!

When you get a message to see the Battalion Executive Officer immediately....then find out it's regarding a great deal on a knife.

When you can remember every knife you have, when and where you bought it, and how much it cost, but stumble when it comes to birthdays and anniversaries.....oops

And my favorite.....

When your wife buys the latest issues of BLADE, Tactical Knives, and Knives Illustrated and sends them to you every month because they don't sell them here on the military compound here in Saudi.
 
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A KNIFENUT IF...........
* Your co-workers attempt to limit the amount of knives you carry while at work
* Your co-workers try to pat you down while at work to win the pool money on this weeks "How many knives does he have?"
* You have ever used a daily carry piece to cut up a pizza, in a strip bar, and thought nothing of it
* People think that you will sink like a stone if you ever fall in a lake while you are carrying the usual assortment of cuting implements
* You have ever used a multi-tool to effect a repair when the tool box was less than three feet away
* Your residence is set up so that you are never more than arm's length away from a good defensive knife
*You own knives that cost more than your whole wardrobe
* You think "bare necessities" means at least a multi-tool, a SAK, and at least two one and openers
* And finally, the ER staff at your favorite hospital recongnize you by sight and ask," What did you damn near amputate THIS time?"


A lot of the previous postings I am guilty of

Yes it's sharp!!!! Now go get the first-aid kit!!!
 
... after having an argument with your wife and you're left to sleep outside the house

, you decided instead to go to a 24-hour internet cafe to log in at BladesForum...
 
When you get an e-mail from Mike Sastre telling you your new Pioneer sheath is ready and you get all giddy!! Ohboyohboyohboyohboy!!

------------------
never a dull moment
 
When you post more then twice to this thread!

never a dull moment
 
I just realized I was a Knife Knut 'cause I got all excited when I discovered that the new issue of "Tactical Knives" now has easy peel address labels. No more messing up the pretty pictures on the cover!

You know your a knife knut when you need to think up creative places to put your folders when you're wearing a dress.

Thanks for resurrecting this thread...I resemble these remarks. ...yer a knife nutt when:

1. You finally get to attend the Blade Show, but when you get there you have no money left to spend on anything because you have spent all your savings on the search for the "Holy Grail" (the perfect carry knife).

2. When you return from the Blade Show, you have a glassy look in your eyes and mumble for WEEKS!!!.

3. You get an American Express card because they have no spending limit.

4. You convince the wife it is OK to take out a second mortgage on the house to invest in knives because they are a much better investment than the house.

5. You have all the UBB code memorized without having to reference the UBB Code Explained URL.

clocker,

I can relate to that! I've been saying that for years now. I think the longest I have been able to hold out ever was shy of a month. That's doing okay, isn't it
