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

If you look in the mirror in the church foyer and notice one sideburn too long, then use a pocket knife to trim it... right then and there.

If you carry a beater knife so you don't mess up your good beater knife.

If you ship knives to your work to avoid "the look" from the wife. (Only partly works due to credit card statement)

If your brother has ever said "Allen's idea of kinda sharp is 'cut your finger 3 times before you know what happened'..."

If you're half-way to work and curse outloud because you should have grabbed the stockman and not the trapper.

If you sulk all day because you didn't grab the stockman.

If you take the stockman to work and then wish you had also grabbed the trapper.

If you take the stockman and trapper to work and wish to heck you also had the SAK.

If you've ever been caught whittling on a pencil at work.

If you've ever felt guilty for hiding your knife habit from the wife.

If you have more knives than articles of clothing.

If you can carry a different knife every day of the year and never carry the same knife twice.

If you take 5 minutes deciding which knife to use to cut something.

If you still morn that new schrade 8OT you lost 35 years ago.

If you've ever asked a total stranger what knife they had clipped to their pocket.

If you started teaching your kids about knife safety at 3 years old.

If you check the edge several times a day to make sure it's still sharp.

If you've ever stopped working on a home project and walk all the way to your bedroom because you have a knife in the safe that would cut that stuff a lot better.
 
I'm completely paperless when possible, no one knows what I buy.

Current dilemma: Which knives to pack for vacation.

Criteria:
Easily replaceable (ie still in production)
Not gonna break the bank
Fun to fidget with

So, I packed:

Yojimbo 2
Civivi Mckenna damascus
Civivi Exarch cf damascus
Vic super tinker
SOG power assist

Overkill for a one week vacation to Texas? Probably

Everytime I get a package, my son asks me “daddy, did you get a new knife?” LOL

when this happens in the presence of your wife!!! And you are left to say, “Honestly, honey, it’s just a small one and not that expensive.” I have also asked strangers what knife they are carrying if I see a clip. Guilty of a few things on Batjak’s list.
 
When you cannot find the one you wanted to carry, you look around for it, and find another one that had been missing in another obscure place. Still have not found the first one, but you just carry the found one because you are so happy to see it again. You need some pocket time too, don’t you sweetie?
 
K.O.D. K.O.D. "Overkill for a one week vacation to Texas? Probably"...
What do you mean "overkill"?
That's not even a true have dozen!
Pack some knives slacker!
😜 Lol



.... Or when you move and certain boxes full of your gear disappear in the move, but then months later, after you've put it out of your mind to avoid the pain and suffering of loss, you rediscover the lost, forgotten box in the storage unit and it's like you've found burried treasure at the beach!

In that I'm staying at a beach house with 17 other people (relatives) 9 of which are kids, having too many knives could be an issue. Plus, if the luggage gets lots I don't want to be out too much money. I'm flying down with my parents and my sister's family of six, and they are just thankful I'm not bringing a gun. I really wanted to bring my customized Tavor SAR, but you can't shoot into the ocean in Galveston anymore apparently. Too bad.

My cousin in law carries a knife as well (a Kershaw Emerson I gave him 5 or 6 years ago. We should be well equipped to handle a cardboard apocalypse.
