How to identify a knife nut

[pax]

So I'm sitting here watching the Warrior's Edge video series and it suddenly occurs to me: I don't have to see the clip on the outside of someone's pocket in order to know he's a knife nut.

All I have to do is look for the bald spots on his forearms.

As a knifemaker I quit doing that or I'd have bald arms!

If you see the movie The Fan, Di Nero, a crazy baseball fan is a knife salesman.

He mentions while on a sales call that if he shaved any more hair off his arms, his butt would be next!

lol. i have random bald spots all over. i usually just rub my thumb across the edge to get a feel for it but when my thumb gets all wet and soft i cant tell so i do a paper cut test...if there is no paper in reach i shave i should just get off my lazy butt and grab some paper

I have a shelf on my desk that has 15 EDC-able knives on it. When I get ready to go out it is an ordeal trying to figure out which one I want to carry

I recently discovered the joys of stropping. I took an old leather belt and some buffing compound and gave my knives a working over. I have more than a few knives, so during the "testing" phase I developed about a 2x4 inch bald spot on my lower leg. I could actually hear the hairs *pop!* It sounded like a box of straight pins hitting the floor. . .

I thought the term was "Knife Knut"

Knife Mange is an early affliction of the young knife knutt. The more advanced version of this psychosomatic disorder manifests itself in horizontal ridges on the thumb of the off hand and an ease of gate indicating an empty wallet

I look for the initials "hso" to ID knife nuts.

Shhhhhhhhh, people will get the idea that I have an obsession with sharp point things.
