You might be a knife addict if.....

When you start buying accessories for your knives and your super excited about it, all the while your wife is giving you that look like "whats so great about blue anodized standoffs"... except she has no clue what they're called or are for that matter.
 
When you don't want to travel if it involves flying. And if you do travel by air the first stop after landing isn't the hotel but somewhere to purchase an EDC. I don't pack any in my check luggage, because they have been either confiscated or stolen in the past.
 
When you try to show off a new Knife to your coworkers and they have an almost annoyed look because its the 50th knife you've showed them
 
When the first thing you do after getting up in the morning is turning on the PC to check the tracking on a shipped knife when you already know when its going to arrive.
Me: "Oh look honey my new knife is in Ohio"
Wife: "That's wonderful. Now, will you take the kids to school?!"

If you constantly think about knives and gear and shop for them constantly when you are already broke from buying them.
 
^nice Tighe Rod,by the way.Playing with knives in traffic,at a red light,or while watching tv;knowing a knife is in the mailbox or arriving that day & busting the doors down to get home to get it.
 
When you sell two or three "lower grade" knives at $100-$150 each to buy "one really good one." Repeat, repeat, until you have a stable of CRK, Hinderer, high end ZT's etc.

I don't do that......just sayin' :)

If you sleep with your new knife, even after your wife tells you not too.

Your wife has stopped telling you to not bring a knife to bed.


It takes you more time in the morning to pick out your knives for the day than your shirt and pants.

You don't like not being able to carry in the shower so you leave your knives in arms reach on the back of the toilet (lid down of corse).

You don't even bother with the provided steak knives at restaurants, you just use one of your pocket knives and then offer others to the people your eating with.
The server at your favorite restaurants remove the knives from the roll cause she knows this.

Please, us true nuts have all the tracking apps on our phones.

ETA: when my knives are in ohio I know I'm about to get them!
 
When you lay in bed before you go to sleep with your wife laying next to you and you just bought another new knife and you keep getting up periodically to strop it or see if you can get a slightly better edge and when you get back to bed you get that "puzzled look"
 
When you can no longer walk straight without your EDC to balance your stride.

When you carry enough knives to last you several lifetimes, and still maintain a 50 knife "must buy list".

when you have to take a few minutes to choose a knife to hold before you sit down to watch a tv show.
