You might be a knifeaholic if....

When your friends know you as that "guy" who always has at least 2 knives on him.

When your friend asks you how good a certain steel is, and you can name the composition and RC hardness of it.

When you're always asked if you know the knife statutes in your state.
 
When you see a discarded cardboard box on a sidewalk and you are outraged not because somebody littered, but because that box could be better utilized testing edge retention on your new knife!

My pants aren't that heavy! Well, I do feel a lot lighter when I take them off at night. Actually I don't completely unbuckle my belt, I loosen it to the outer most hole and then slide my pants down, that way my SAK & Multi-tool pouches don't slide off the belt.

I just had to start using my legs to test sharpness... :o

If I'm wearing shorts then I pull up the pant leg a bit and test the sharpness on my upper thigh - it's less embarrassing that way because people can't see the bald patches.

When you have a mild panic attack because you walked out the door with only 3 knives instead of the 4 that you usually carry?

I never do that - I always have my 4 with me (is it OK to just count those 4 and ignore the blade on the card tool in my wallet?). Of course I'm counting the SAK as 1 even though it actually has 2 blades.


You might be addicted to knives if flying in a plane really scares you - you'll have to put your knives in your checked baggage, what if someone steals them?

You might be addicted to knives if you consider buying a 2nd identical knife to each of your favourite ones so that you have a spare in case something happens to it - what if it's been discontinued and you can't buy another one, it can't hurt to have a spare at home. (this may not sound strange to many here, but normal people don't do it)
 
...you drop a knife into your robe pocket on the way to the shower in the morning.

i think i can top this. If I wake up in the middle of the night because nature is calling i usually clip a knife on my undies just in case i have to cut something. no joke!
 
Instead of saying Goodmorning, your coworkers greet you each day by asking how many knives are carrying, and when you tell them only 5, they ask you if everything is ok....
 
...you budget some "play" money monthly, and have already spent through the end of 2011 on knives...

yeah, i got it bad. ;)
 
Your Favorites Tab is full of knives you want to get next, and you already own one for every day of the week, month of the year, holiday, and can color coordinate any attire with one of your many knives.:D
 
You might be a knifeaholic if . . .

. . . you evaluate people according to which knife would be most appropriate to use in their presence.

. . . your ability to trust someone is seriously affected by how they treat their knives.

. . . you proudly show people how clean the edges of the last cut on your thumb are.

. . . you have to contemplate how you would explain to law enforcement the number of blades in your vehicle or on your person.

. . . you still pine for a white bone-stag handled Case XX Pocket Hunter that you saw -- two years ago -- in the display case of a rural hardware store 20 miles from where you live, and you a) wonder if it's still there, and b) what pretense would get you out there for another look.

. . . you remember with fondness the "naive" younger you that blithely carried only one knife for more than twenty years without knowing what he was missing.

. . . you still have the scout-style knife your dad gave you when you were 12, and you worry that your own twenty-something son may not value his first knife as much.

. . . you still miss the only rigging knife you ever had (which you bought in Portugal), and which you lost on a flight to London in 1983.

. . . you have no trouble concealing the fact of having bought a new knife, because it's just one more piece of "clutter" in the existing pile of knives.

. . . you contemplate selling or trading some of your earlier, cheaper purchases to afford knives now indicated by your incrementally improved sophistication about steels and handles and fit & finish.


. . . you actually found this thread inspiring.

 
When you have to spend a few hours trying to explain to your woman that while yes, it was a knife in your pocket, you're still glad to see her.
 
If you've sworn to divorce your wife the next time she puts one of the Solicut Damascus kitchen knives in the sink instead of cleaning and putting it away immediately after using.
 
When you use your Benchmade slip pouch for storing yours dedicated car sunglasses :D

You get excited when the email tone goes off on your phone.

You get even more excited when you check your email and it's a shipping confirmation with tracking number.

You become uncontrollably anxious when you check said tracking number for the umpteenth time and it's been upgraded to "delivered" and you still have several hours in the day before you get off work to go play with your knife.

When you have to make a list of all your pre-orders and orders just so you can keep track of who is sending what.

GUILTY!!! LMAO!
