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

When you do your spring cleaning and look between the couch cushions. Instead of finding coins, gum, or furry old lollipops you find a Camillus folder and a Buck hunting knife.
 
^ now im too fanatical to let that happen. I know where all my knives are.....

I have done this many times, and while talking on the phone as well.

Instead of counting sheep to fall asleep I think about what knives I am going to carry the next day. There is something oddly soothing about steel. :D
 
When you look forward to getting a big enough collection so it reaches the tipping point where your wife doesn't know exactly what's new or old.

Similarly, you keep getting up out of bed to check online, fondle one you've already got, or.... especially....... find yourself on this forum more times than you can count in a day.

And then again at night.

After you've turned in.

Or you have a particular buddy that is as addicted as you, or better still even more so. You use him as the standard for being a true addict: "I'm bad but Matty is REALLY bad."
 
When you shop online for a particular knife, and order 3 others before you've even found the first one...

When your postal carrier has to make two trips from the truck to your door...

When you forget how to operate anything that doesn't have a flipper...

When Ren Wax and FP-10 smell better than your dinner...
 
When you are really broke so you send yourself a knife in the mail just for the fun of waiting on a "new knife" and the joy of opening a package, you may be addicted to knives.

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.

Went out of town for 4 days, thought "I can go 4 days without a knife". Well, at least I made it to day 2....
 
When you have a loose thread on your shirt, and you go running madly around the house to find your knife to cut it off, even if scissors are right next to you...
 
When you worry about having all of your "collection" out for fear your wife will see how many knives you actually have and freak out.
 
when you pay $200 for a made in China framelock and it turns out that it is worth every penny, imo of course.
 
When you try to break you addiction by doing an AR build but finish in a day and go right back to knives.
 
When you can remember exactly what you paid for each knife, but can't remember how much gas you put in your truck yesterday.

When you take the same amount of time cleaning your knife as you do showering.

I do that all the time!
 
When you find yourself cutting up an entire piece of paper after sharpening just to admire the sharpness and to hear that wonderful sound.

When you find yourself spending more time daydreaming about knives than you actually spend working.

When you realize that you just spent 10 hours of your Saturday using 120, 220, 320, 600, 1000, and 2000 grit sandpaper just to get those two little scratches out of your blade.
