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

When even your 3 year old nephew knows you carry a knife.

When you struggle to find a knife that meets all the qualities and features you want.

When its carbon Fiber Friday and you can't decide whether to carry a regular CF knife, a CF flipper, a CF framelock flipper, or a CF Front Flipper.

When you match the knife to your clothes. Even worse, buying clothes to match a knife. Yes I have a purple and white button down that matches my WE Deacon exactly.

When you buy knives in certain colors because those are your nephews' favorite colors. I've yet to buy a pink knife for the baby niece, but that will come. Maybe some custom pink scales.

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.

Agreed! Knives are part of our standard uniform.

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 of 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.

In reference to the next to last: You always carry a cheap(ish) knife to lend to your non-knife-buddy.

... you buy multiple variations of the same knife.

Let me add to this if it hasn't already been said.

...you buy multiples of the exact same knife because for reasons ("I need a backup"; "What if they discontinue this model?"; "What if I lose one?"; ad nauseam).
 
Fun thread!

You photograph and individually list each of your knives on your home insurance policy, because deductibles suck and "mysterious disappearances" do happen.
