You might be a knifeaholic if....

When you use your knife to cut through things that you normally wouldn't need a knife for.
I am definitely guilty of this.
 
People mention that "We have cutlery" but you still use the Delica 4 brown ffg to slice the pizza...
 
when someone asks to borrow your knife and you respond with "that depends on what your going to use it for" so you dont lend them the wrong one, out of the four youre carrying, for the job of opening their mail :D

I've done this so many times, but I usually cut "it" for them. I only hand my knives to people I trust totally!

Mine might be; when you have more sharpening stones than your friends have knives.

-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.

LOL, I am guilty of all these!!!
 
you know you're a knifenut when your computer's wallpaper is a picture of your latest knife. :D
 
You know you're a knifeaholic when after your kid is born and they go to cut the umbilical cord, you say to the Doc "Doc, I got this."
 
You are running out the door 20 minutes late for Work/School/Appointment without your wallet, homework, keys, pants and it occurs to you that you broke down some cardboard for the recycling this morning... and you go back inside to run you knife over the strop a few times.
 
...if your pants hit the floor with a crashing sound as soon as you unbuckle your belt in a public restroom due to the three knives, multitool, and other edc paraphenalia in your pockets, waist band, etc.
 
When you keep buying that ultra-thin rice straw cigarette papers, even when you haven't smoked dope for over two years now. (Yes, I know, I'm from Holland...)

And when you realise you posted the above in a very similar thread 6 months ago...

... and - dope doesn't affect the brain...

Good grief!

Another indicator - you cut every piece of scrap paper - and the odd bill or two - into tiny strips to prove how sharp your latest knife is.

You might be a knifeaholic if you have calluses on your palm(s) from gripping knife handles whenever you feel like to or for work.

Or blisters on your thumb(s) from repeated thumb-flickings of thumb studs, thumb discs and fairly hard to close liner locks. :o
 
when you have way too much scar tissue on your fingers from playing five finger fillet

When you leave the house and get halfway to your destination and turn around because you realized you forgot your secondary knife. And only after you get home do you realize you also forgot your wallet with your liscense, your watch, and your cell phone.
 
you might be a knifeaholic if you get pissed that you missed the delivery and you have to wait until tomorrow to get your new knife/knives.
 
When getting dressed in the morning and you have the dilemma as to which of the 14 knifes on your dresser matches your outfit and which one meets the days possible cutting needs.
 
You might be a knifeaholic when you pick up a new knife and you look over every inch of it with your fingers and not your eyes.

Love this thread!

You know you're a knifeaholic when you would rather use your knife than your nail clippers.
When you clip a spyderco into the waistband of your swim trunks.
When you hide a knife behind your wallet in your back pocket when getting frisked, this actually worked for me.
