"You may be a knife nut if..."

[TRfromMT]

You spend as much in one day on knives now as you did the first year you got into knives.

You have a "dog walking knife" that's not the same knife as your "walking knife".



Let's hear your "You may be a knife nut if.."

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

You have a “jewellery box” for knives beside your bed.

 

[Murphjd25]

If you normally have north of $1k in your pocket every single day for work.

 

[Getting older]

Your knife or knives cost more than the vehicle you drive

 

[gazz98]

When you glance at someone in the grocery store and you have a pretty good idea of what knife they are carrying by the pocket clip and top 3/4" +/- of the knife that is showing above the pocket.

If you keep rewinding and pausing a movie because you think you might have seen a glimpse of a knife or a barely visible pocket clip.

If you know the type of steel of every single knife you own, but can't remember your anniversary or wife's b-day.

If you frequently drop several hundred dollars on a knife without blinking, but freak out if the price of gas goes up 0.01 cents per gallon.

If you intentionally wear your worst worn out shirts and pants with high hopes you will find an errant thread that needs cutting.

If you break out your machete/survival-type knife for the most mundane kitchen tasks. (Some cheeses are seriously tough.)

If you have ever looked at yourself in a mirror holding a knife, just to see how awesome it looks in your hand.

If your non-knife-guy buddy asks to borrow your knife and you cringe, because you just KNOW he's gonna use it as a screwdriver.

If you rotate your EDC religiously, but can't remember how many days it has been since you last changed your socks or underwear.

Your custom made pocket clips and scales are shipped from makers on other continents and cost as much as your knives.

 

[bayouace]

Your wife gives you "The Look" every time you carry a small unopened package into the house.

 

[Yalius]

You had to add an additional rider to your homeowner's insurance and then itemize your knives because your insurance agent guffaws when you tell him what you want to add.

 

[P.C.E.]

Daily habit of checking for new releases from the usual online retailers.

Any flat surface is a good place for some sharpening time.

These are for work, these are for the weekend / non-work days.

"Do I need this?"

 

[The Aflac Duck]

...if someone you know asks you “do you have a knife?” and immediately follows up with “you always have a knife”.

 

[Keyopp]

... you’re reading (and enjoying) this thread right now.

 

[TRfromMT]

...if someone you know asks you “do you have a knife?” and immediately follows up with “you always have a knife”.

And you carry a loaner knife 'cuz ain't no way you'd hand over your regular carry knife.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

If you buy cargo pants so you can carry more knives on you at once.

If you sew leather patches on the outsides of your pockets because your favorite clips are wearing out your pants.

 

[pholder]

if you think of knives and ways to use them while you fall off to sleep

 

[The Meat man]

...it takes you 10 minutes to decide which knife to carry for the day, and even then only after you've run back a couple times to get a different one.

 

[The Aflac Duck]

And you carry a loaner knife 'cuz ain't no way you'd hand over your regular carry knife.

I just tell them no and watch them struggle cutting with their house key

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

If you flick your knife open and closed while driving.

 

[Keyopp]

... you have an abnormal amount of Torx #8 precision screwdrivers lying around.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]
