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

[Alberta Ed]

You have only a vague idea of how many knives you own.

 

[Shrub]

... it's 11:41pm and you're still on your phone playing on bladeforums.com while your wife lays next to you passed out and completely unsurprised.

I'm gonna get some sleep.
Have a great night everybody.

...you subconsciously scan license plates for combinations such as "CPM", "CTS", or "ZDP".

You sell/trade guns to buy knives

 

[CharlieWB]

Your most important task leading up to your wedding was to decide on and procure your wedding carry knife.

 

[CharlieWB]

Hah... I carry a spare RAT 1 as a giveaway knife if I see someone using a Paraframe or similar knife.

This is a rad idea, I think I might start doing so as well!

 

[rhino]

I'm similar.
My wallet is stuffed with receipts to be used as portable sharpness testers

And it has to make just the right sound and have just the right feel as it cuts the receipt paper, right?

That's crossing the line there...

No sound is the right sound.

Wins the thread.

You buy knives as presents for non knife people just for an excuse to buy another knife.

 

[000Robert]

When your wife is pregnant and you find out the sex of your baby, you start shopping for his/hers first knife.

... all your jean's look like this and your wife things you are crazy cuz you want new ones when the rest of the pants is fine

 

[CharlieWB]

You buy knives as presents for non knife people just for an excuse to buy another knife.

And you're no run of the mill gift giver, so you buy 5 or 10 or 20 in the name of research before you settle on "the one".

 

[K.O.D.]

Yup, and my jeans cost ~$100 because I like my Lucky's.

Thankfully, I'm not married and no one gives a shit. However, I like wearing my jeans out...


You know you are a knut when you spend more on modifications to the knife than the cost of the actual knife! My PM2, Yoji 2, and Manix 2 all have custom scales, screws, and clip. Hell the ironwood manix scales were nearly as much as the knife on its own. The Yoji need new scales as they are damaged, and the backspacer cracked. The Manix 2 may get a titanium or other custom lock thingamajig.

I have a whole drawer dedicated to factory pocket clips!

Indeed

Just a light hiss and no tear on the paper during the cut

Thats when you check in KAA (Knife addicts anonymous)

You might be a knife knut if you shave your nuts with a Yojimbo 2.

Sounds like you hooked up with Angelina Jolie.

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

Could also be age related.

"A man ain't properly dressed if he ain't got a pocketknife on him." is what I was taught growing up.

I don't understand how someone can leave home without a pocketknife or two on them.
Even when I was a youngling and only owned two pocket knives and a sheath/hunting knife could I understand how anyone could not have a pocketknife or two in their pocket or purse, if a her.
(When I was a youngling females wore dresses, skirts, and mini skirts. Not pants. Even shorts were unusual feminine attire back then.
