You might be a knifeaholic if....

When you get depressed reading this thread and realize that 90% of it applies to you. Then you get happy again when you open the knife drawer...
 
...when the collegues, coming back from the teakitchen ask you: Is this your knife in the kitchen?

LOL

I'm not a knifeaholic. The love that I have for my three favorite knives is purely rational. One has sentimental value. One probably saved my life. The third one is simply a damn good knife.

The other 100 or so knives are just backup blades.
 
I think this might qualify...I'm leaving on vacation this weekend.

I spent the last 3 days mulling over which knives i'm going to bring.
 
When you get your highschool girlfriend a SAK to remember you by when you go 2000 miles away for college and she likes it even more than the necklace you gave her because its more you.

When buying knives cuts into your college food budget and you end up losing weight because you just had to have that custom knife.

When you keep tabs on your friends' and family members' hobbies, so when they ask you "why do you need that new knife" or "why did you spend so much on a knife?" you have something to come back with. And you get extra happy when you find something expensive they only wear/use once.

You marked your knives rotation on your calendar for whole year.
Change your career to learn making knife.
Your wife asks you what scales are you making next.

-When you accidentaly cut yourself with one of your blades- then look to see how clean the cut is.
-You can identify the type of lock a knife has by the sound it makes.
-You have a picture folder on your computer of your knives so you don't lose track.
-When you reconsider going to certain places that have knife restrictions.
-The "favorites" list on your computer has become a digital "to-get" list.
 
You hurredly open the box/package containing your new knife - with yesterday's new knife.

you regularly keep up with new and upcoming models even though you know you can't afford them and won't be able to buy them
 
When you watch pirate or medieval movies and someone sticks a message on a door using a fixed blade...and you can't get over why someone would just leave a perfectly good knife stuck in a door and walk off.
 
When amazon.com sends you an email that starts: "we thought you might be interested in this..." and it is a spyderco.
