You know you're a knifenut when...

when all your pants, shorts and even slack pockets are shredded from carrying a knife.
 
When you keep on buyin' and then walk around the house looking for things you can sell.

When you think it's funny to say to your wife/significant other "Honey I went out and got some diamonds on a credit card..." wait for her face, then show her this:

When every time you see one of your friends, you call for a "knife check" and actually examine your friend's knife for micro chips, sharpness, and polish.
 
When you hear that you're gas bill was $300, and you think... "Damn.. that's 3 Al-Mar Eagle Ultralight's"

When you wear your Spyderco Delica in your sweatpants while veggin out at home, because, you know, it's lightweight and comfortable

When your girlfriend says, "How many knives do you have on you, anyway?", and you start counting.. "Well, my edc Case Trapperlock, my Spyderco Endura for self defense, my Swiss Army Knife, and i guess my money clip is one too, oh and that new balisong that i've been playing with. Does the Leatherman in my jacket count?"...

When you go a solid week without buying a knife, and you're proud of yourself

When they forget to cut the Pizza in the resturant, and you say, "i got it". And then you remember you're with a bunch of non-knife people who are slightly horrified and intimidated that you just cut their meal up with a ZT 300.

When you look online for titanium bolts for your Boker ceramic knife, so that it is truely non-magnetic. you know, just in case you have the balls to try it at the airport of courthouse.

When everyone in your extended family has at least one Swiss Army Knife, and one tactical folder. Because you want them to be safe.

made me laugh out loud, :p
 
When u have a knife in every room of your house. When u carry three knives on you at all times. When u get your girlfriend a knife for her birthday, even though she hates knives. When u work in a very secured facility, and there's no way in hell your supposed to carry a knife on you, and FUCK IT, you still carry a knife.
 
When you have a PO box your wife is clueless about so you can sneak your some of your knife purchases into the house, because once it's in the collection you can always say "This one babe?? I have had it for years!"
 
- You have enough knives that when a new one shows up in the drawer or on the desk it is unnoticeable to the casual observer. Or the Spouse.

- You have a dedicated knife in a drawer in the bathroom for opening bathroom-related products.

- You have at minimum six knives in the truck console, but you never mention more than three.

- You have another handful of knives in the truck box, but you've lost track of how many.

- You no longer have an accurate count of how many knives you have . . . for a single brand.

- You have a knife, or six, strategically posted at all the places you sit in the house just in case you're in your bathrobe.

- You occasionally wonder what it would be like to go back to carrying only three knives.

- You're at work, the carving knife in the kitchen is dull, and you whip out a diamond steel and put an edge on it.

- Nobody at work is surprised that you did that.

- You have specific knives that you pack for air travel, so that your good stuff isn't at risk of rogue baggage handlers.

- You have a "traveling kitchen" box, and you keep having to remove knives from it to make room for other actually kitchen-related items.

- You belong to a self-sufficiency group, and no one is surprised when you're asked to give the presentation on knives.

- Members of the group call you for advice when shopping for knives.

- You prepare for that presentation and realize there's just no way to cover everything in an hour.

- Members of your family are no longer surprised when you give them a present . . . and it's a knife.

- Your kid is headed out with friends, and all you ask is "are you carrying a knife?"

- You have a knife handy to lend the kid when the answer is no.

- You religiously adhere to Gibbs' Rule #9.

Ya know yer a knife knut when, after 10+ years of bein' here and after 10,000+(mostly relevant) posts, ya still reply to these, "Ya know yer a knife knut when/if threads".

I guess I'm a knife knut :)
 
I know that I am a knifenut because I have a knife Journal. ( I also have a similar gun journal). It's about each and every knife I have bought, ever. It gives info on the steel, the reason I bought it, and what mods I've done, and any other thoughts or impressions that I have or had in wanting the knife. I think it might be cool to posterity when they divide up my knives and guns to read what their oddball father collected, and why.
I really like these threads, Ive lurked for a while and then joined.
Keep up the laughs!

Found a new one today. I know I'm a knife nut because my wifes starting to complain that have more pictures of knives on my phone, camera and laptop then of her.

I know I'm a knife nut because I don't know why she can't understand that.
 
You check the knife edge of your kitchen knives before using them to prepare food.
Sharpen them, then comment how well they cut to who ever is helping you
 
When you have to reach for your own knife to help prepare for the BBQ at the neighbor's place because their kitchen knives are dull.
