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

[PQGK]

You have a knife case in your wardrobe
Knives in small cupboard next to bed
Small knife rack on other side of bed for knives you carry freq

When your favorite three words aren’t “I love you” but rather “Out For Delivery”.

If you and the postman are on a first name basis.....

You can build a complete knife out of spare parts you have in hand for your favorite knife.

... you realize you can fit more cardboard in the recycling bin by cutting everything down into thin strips, but that wears lesser steels' edge faster, and that's how justify needing the latest and greatest in edge steel/material.

If you are confused by the question, "Do you have a knife on you?"

If the idea of having just one knife gives you anxiety.

If your answer to questions like, "Should I get the ESEE 5 or the BK2?" is always, "Yes."

If you go to a gun show and ignore everything gun-related until you arrive at your favorite knife dealer's table.

If you carry a knife in addition to your EDC specifically to loan to other people.

If you cringe when someone opens a package or box with scissors or a key instead of a proper knife.

You've ever had a conversation similar to this with your other half

If you cannot decide which knife to take with you on a hike, so you bring em all.... (Makes for darn heavy backpacks )

 

[Jarhead Greasemonkey]

... you only post one knife in the "Which knife or knives are you carrying today" thread because you don't want to admit to being a knife nut.

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

I will answer to that with a solid "NO". Because, most of the time, it comes from people who pride themselves about "not carrying a knife" ! Don't ask me why. They exist. My dad is one. When I get bored of watching him struggle with a blister pack or another kind of package, I hand him my knife of the day. I can't, of course, refrain on lecturing him like "See, how a pocket knife could be useful ?". I offered him to choose any knife of his liking in my vast collection. He always declined. Mysteries of life, I say. About others ? Non knife people ? They will do shit with your knife, be assured. Solid "NO" again. Get lost and buy yourself a pocket knife, you dunce. If you have to ask for one, it means you need one. Right ? Swing your hooves and go get a pocket knife.

When you buy a ream of copy paper once a week just to check the sharpness of your blades.

We actually still get yellow pages here. I save them in my knife maintenance toolbox for testing sharpness!

 

[woodysone]

You have more pictires of your collection then your kids.

 

[Dadpool]

You take artistic photos of your knives to share with other people who also take artistic photos of theirs.

You look back on the days when you said "I'd never spend $X on a knife!" and laugh.

You struggle to remember useful information, but you can identify most knives at a glance.

 

[Dr Heelhook]

I think one of the signs that you're really getting into a hobby is when you can instantly see the difference or identify a specific item from another very similar one because you've learned instinctively exactly what tiny details to look for.

Take the Buck 110 and the Buck 112 for an example. One of them is, as we all know, shorter. However, if you only see one separate image of one of those two knives, it can be pretty hard to determine which one of them it is. Then once you've noticed and memorized the fact that the Buck 112 has a front bolster that curves up more, kind of serving as a small finger guard, you'll be able to identify either knife immediately from then on.

You have a visible divot in the nail of your middle finger.

I’m not normally judgemental, but you guys are nuts.

You spend hours each day reading this forum, then coming back to see what's new, then an hour after that,etc.
Of course it helps if you are retired or at least your boss doesn't look over your shoulder periodically.
