I thought this would be a fun thread! :groucho:

- You remember your completion date but cant remember your anniversary!
- You keep looking at your e mail hoping to get WIP pictures...
- You start asking all kind of unusual questions like... Does enyone know the Spine at heel width of a Shigefusa 240mm gyuto?
- You start threads like "you know you have commissioned a custom knife when:"

...When you accidentally tell someone you need to sharpen your car, because of the road trip you just took.
...when you ask what kind of steel your wife's hairdresser's scissors are made of, when you pick her up after the appointment.
...when you LITERALLY dream about floating profiles, and when you wake up, you write down anything you ca remember to tell the maker.
