-When you accidentaly cut yourself with one of your blades- then look to see how clean the cut is.

-You can identify the type of lock a knife has by the sound it makes.

-You have a picture folder on your computer of your knives so you don't lose track.

-When you reconsider going to certain places that have knife restrictions.

-The "favorites" list on your computer has become a digital "to-get" list.

-If you see a reason to spend $170 on a Starlingear bead for your knives.

-If you find an XM-18 for the low, low price of $500 and think it's a great deal.

-If you have no problem dropping $500 on a single knife because it really is a great deal. ^ :D

-If you get anxious to go home after travelling somewhere without a knife.

-If you find yourself re-winding and pausing movies to see what knife that guy was holding/using.

-You get slightly disappointed at the character when you realize said knife is a cheap Chinese one.

-If part of your trip planning includes researching knife shops near where you'll be.

-You rationalize other expenses in terms of "How many knives could this get me? "

Proudly guilty of every single one of those :D
 
-When i wake up at night, i use a knife with best mirror finish to guide myself to the toilet.
-When you forget your EDC knife whilst on an outing and that pretty much screwed up the day
-When you could own the entire Spyderco Mule series just because of the exotic steels they offer...and the search just keep going.
 
When you on this site or any other knife site / forum and you subconsciously pull any knife out your pocket.
Then proceed to flip, flick or thumb stud/hole it open and close constantly while you browse
 
-If you find an XM-18 for the low, low price of $500 and think it's a great deal.

You're a very talented knife nut when you find an XM-18 for the low, low price of $500 and you can convince your wife that not only is a great deal, but you need to post "I'll take it" immedately so someone else doesn't grab it. :)
 
When you lie to your friends and family out of embarrassment when they ask how much the knife you're playing with cost . . .
 
when paycheck is about to come in and you're already thinking what knife are you gonna buy next:)
 
..........when your wife askes, "How many knives do you need?"

When you refer to you knife collection as "your babies"

When you take a couple of vacation hours and get home before the mailman arrives with your new bundle of joy!!
 
I completely agree with DedRok;

You are a knife nut when you need a knife for every seperate use.

I have a car knife (Spyderco Assist 2)
I have a knife that I keep beside my bed (Zero Tolerance 0200)
I have knives that I rotate EDC knives (Spyderco Delica, Spyderco Sage 1, Kershaw Skyline)
I have a knife for water (Spyderco Dragonfly 2 H1, Spyderco Ladybug H1)
I have a knife with serations (Spyderco Ladybug H1)
I have a knife that is fun to play with (Spyderco Paramilitary 2)
I have a knife that has to have an assist (Sog Aegis)
I have to have a fixed blade that can cut wood (Becker BK2)
I have a fixed blade.... wait screw this...

The list doesn't really stop, just like the buying I do. I lie to myself and make up these excuses why I need to get another knife... knife NUT!

I have two car knives (Mora and ZT0350)
I have a knife that I keep beside my bed (Zero Tolerance 0200!)
I have knives that I rotate EDC knives (Spyderco Junior, Spyderco Para 2, Spyderco Tenacious, DPx HEST, etc.)
I have a knifes for water (Fallkie F1 in Kydex)
I have a knife that is fun to play with (Elan EL02)
I have a knife that has to have an assist (ZT0350)
I have to have a fixed blade that can cut wood (Barkies - lots!)

I'd add, you know you're a knifenut when with out thinking you reach into your boot and pull out a Spyderco Dragonfly because someone needs to cut stuff when you are setting up for a training session in front of 30 attendees!

Also, when after a few beers it makes 'sense' to 'just look' on-line and end up ordering the knife/knives you've been trying to resist buying for weeks (This resulting in my order for an ESEE 6 just this weekend!!)

Cheers!

You know you're a knife knut when you sit here and read through this thread nodding your head in agreement and grinning like a fool. :D
 
You know know you're a knife nut when...
- You spend most of your day trying to find things that need to be cut.
- You get really annoyed when people confuse liner locks with frame locks.
- You cringe whenever someone abuses their knife, even if it is a cheapo Gerber.
- Your first criteria in picking a college is their knife policy.
- You don't like Nutnfancy, but you watch his knife reviews anyway because they're about knives.
- You go to a gun show and spend most of your time looking at the one booth that sells knives.
- You keep all of your knives in a fire proof safe.
 
When you change out multiple knives per day :D
For work, for after work, for going out, etc...
 
These are all great. You have to admit you're a knifenut when you have an entire collection of knives that you bought as gifts for others only to keep instead.
 
You know you are a knife nut when....

You max out your credit cards and dont have enough money at the end of the month to pay your bills.

And....you sit on your couch watching tv, mindlessly flipping your knife open and closed.

And..when you are invited out with friends Friday night, but make up a lame excuse so you can stay home and read and post on knife forums.

I would have to agree. Although I am still young and single and found it at a show. Also, this was after a bit of haggling.....but we can still say I'm talented. :D
 
When you are watching someone struggling to cut with a dull knife and lose touch with reality for an unknown period of time. Later someone tells you that you dope slapped the dullard stooge, took his knife and straight away began sharpening it on a sidewalk edge.
