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

[Monofletch]

You worry about “PRECIOUS” under the plane in your checked bag!

 

[Wild Willie]

When you only have one wallet, one lighter, one watch, and one flashlight you carry EVERY SINGLE DAY, but you walk out the door with 4 different knives in your pockets and a couple of backups in your bag.

Your favorite jeans have a pocket like this:

When you spend a whole day admiring a SAK although you have a closet full of bigger badass knives..

 

[Guy McVer]

You have at least one knife or multitool that you just play with.

Open, close.
Open, close.
Open, close.

You've never actually used it. That's what your other knives/multitools are for...

I think selling a Glock G45 and using the money to purchase two Spyderco knives would qualify me(?)

(Yojumbo, 5x5 Combat Solutions Pickpocket, and a Watu).

When you try to figure out how to co-ordinate the pocket clips in such a way that the Missus can't figure out how many knives you REALLY have...

Among other things ...
When you have more knives than you could wear out in 2 or more lifetimes.

You have difficulty deciding whick knives (plural) you want in your pockets and on your belt when they close and lock the lid on the box you get planted in.

You  know you don't  need another knife but you buy it (or them) anyway.

Family and (former) friends avoid you because all you talk about is cutlery and your latest acquisitions.
(better than talking about the latest political/religious/business/economic/food/law enforcement/military/"Hollywood"/"entertainment" scandals in the "news", IMHO)

You have your favorite forums up in an open tab on your Internet device 24/7/365.25, plus an open tab for each of your favorite sub-sections/sub-forums. You also spend 90% or more of your time online at that forum.

You watch idiots "torture test" knives on You Tube to destruction doing things no one with a single proton of sense would do in "real life". (baton 8-8-16 concrete blocks or paving bricks with their knife, for example) and are disappointed when your favorite brand and/or model "failed" the so called "test".

Most of your saved "favorites" websites are cutlery related.

When you see a knife and say that is cool….and then realize you already have one or two of that model. Maybe in different steel, handle color or material, or version.

Nice! I have a blacked-out Yojumbo set up the same way, as well as one of those Yurco wharncliffe Endura regrinds, because the Janich regrind shortens the knife too much.

 

[CDHumiston]

...you have knives laying around in every room of the house and at least a dozen within reach when sitting at your computer.

 

[WValtakis]

...you go to Blade Show

When you won’t go anywhere with metal detectors unless it’s for work or possibly a funeral.

“Sir , You can leave that pocket knife with security”

Hell no. Not happening. No.
