You know you're a knifenut when

You join a forum ('s) to discuss knives

You have not seen your arm hair in years

Your sharpening stone collection is getting bigger than your knife collection

When your on a pre order list for more than 2 months
 
When you put knife collection video on mute and can name most of the models. :p
 
When you can ID a knife on TV or in a movie when its only seen for a split second.
 
If anyone asks "Does anyone have a knife?" ...everyone just points to you.
 
You spend 5 minutes deciding which knife your going to cut the roast with.
 
You are a knife nut when you're completely at home with the letters of your alphabet... I mean, ATS-34, BG-42, CPM154, D2, Elmax...etc. Knife nuts are literate, you know.
 
...when your friends have you over for dinner and you find yourself criticizing the steel their cutlery is made of at the table.

In all fairness you would have to agree that no knife = partially dress at most. Seriously, no knife at all? Not even a SAK? Surely it is not decent to leave the house in such a state!

While reading this I was eating a nice T-Bone steak, before that while the steak was cooking I was sharpening the knife on a strop - but that's hardly unusual is it? I mean the knife was sharpened a whole week ago and since then it has cut some food and been through the dishwasher. This was just a kitchen knife, some sort of paring knife - I have steak knives but I prefer plain edge to serrated. I don't know if this qualifies as a knifenut trait - surely everyone likes to ensure their knife is 'shaving sharp' before they eat a steak?

What about looking forward to being home alone so I can get some quality sharpening in? I don't know why the other members of the household roll their eyes anyway - there is nothing unusual about a person getting in a couple of hours of good sharpening time, surely?

Or you complain that their knives are blunt and you offer to sharpen them with the sharpening gear you just happen to have with you . . .

I've done that so many times, that when visit relatives, they always me to sharpen thier knives.

The first thing my 3 yr. old nephew asks is "What knife do you have in that pocket?". The last visit in anticipation, I had 6 pockets and 6 knives. After showing him each knife about 5 times, he then wants me to go to my truck and bring in my big knife.

My sister in-laws always ask if I've cut myself lately.

You have so many EDCs, that you can't carry them all and you feel bad for the ones, that you leave at home. That can't be healthy.
 
Your're on a first name basis with Roger and Ragnar :D

If you don't know who I am talking about, you may not be a knife nut.
 
Your known as "the man with the giant letter opener".....if only they saw it when it was opening other stuff....heh!
 
I feel bad for all my edc's that get left at home. But I can't carry them all!!! :[

You know your a knifenut when whenever you make a purchase you imagine what knife you could have gotten or put down a payment on with the money that you spent.
