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

[Squashfan]

When you carry your lunch bag and your knife sharpening bag to work each day
GUILTY!!

Nah, I just carry my sharpening equipment on my keys. I have a separate bag for the rest of my EDC stuff and my Spyderco Double Stuff.

When you're saving for an engagement ring and instead of putting away all your tax return you buy a $200 blade instead.

In my case it was saving a down payment on a house, now its just gonna take a little bit longer lol.

When instead of bringing the newspaper into the bathroom you bring your favorite knife to admire.

Or! You bring both so when you are done reading you can strop on the newspaper and then use it to test how sharp your blade is

I was at a jewelry store today, and discovered they now make ceramic wedding rings. One of them was about 3/8" wide and has this interesting pebbly, coarse finish on the outside of the band. My thought immediately went to, "Huh. Will this touch up a knife?"

 

[phxgadgets]

Thats why I like stone wash finishes im not afraid of getting sratches.

When you join a forum dedicated to them.
When constantly have two tabs open because every knife you read about on that forum you then have to look up to see whether you want it or not.
When 99% of the time you want the time you had to look up.
When you check the knife forum before you go to bed at night.

When its 1244 am, you have to get up at 8, you're drunk and on blade forums. Sorry they threw me a going away party.

Awesome, thank you for your service... where you going for basic?

 

[phxgadgets]

Nevermind I swear I saw basic in there somewhere maybe im drunk lol

 

[jacobts2013]

You cough me, didn't think mentioning my future in the military asks drinking would be the best thing. But I'm leaving April 30th and day one is may 1st. I'm then going to corpsman school. I know I've still got about a month to go but my friends wanted to do something for me.

 

[jacobts2013]

And I'm going to Illinois for basic

 

[phxgadgets]

Nice! Well I wish the best for you, good luck and stay safe!

Post some of your addictive behaviors or signs that you may be an addict...

If you constantly think about knives and gear and shop for them constantly when you are already broke from buying them.

When you consider Jim Skelton a celeb.

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.

And end up taking a few of them in the couch or bed. lol

LOL all so true and very recognizable!?!

I'm sorry to bother you AGAIN with my same old boring pics, over and over again, but I think this could be called most definitely a "sign"



The fact that your holiday camping in France pics look like this could be a "sign" as well

 

[TBL]

When you come to the realization that you exhibit every behavior previously mentioned in this thread and are fine with it.

When another knife addict calls you a knife addict.

 

[DavidZ]

When you order a knife just to see what it looks like in real life! Then you put it up for sale here.

 

[phxgadgets]

....You told yourself you'd never spend $500+ on a knife because you could buy a pistol for that price but now have multiple $500+ knives...
