You know your a knifenut when...

[cheflarge]

When your wife knows the difference between single bevel & double bevel and can explain the uraoshi process. :biggrin:

 

[CoqaVin]

when you care about your knives MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE than anyone else, and it is DUMB SHARP, and everyone says CAN I USE YOUR KNIFE FOR THIS?

 

[panda]

.. You actually read this thread.

 

[Chifunda]

.. You actually read this thread.

...and find yourself saying, "Yep, that's me."

 

[Keith Sinclair]

When you actually think as many people as possible should learn freehand.

 

[TheDispossessed]

Ok, so i'm probably going to send this thread over the deep end into real nerd/loserdom.
...when you seriously wish you had the money to have someone hand forge a bad a$$ replica of the master sword from the legend of zelda.
(I can admit these things now because I am married, and have no fear of repelling all members of the opposite sex forever with such comments.)

 

[Matus]

... you take several hours just to write 1/2 of a knife review :angel2:

...when you seriously wish you had the money to have someone hand forge a bad a$$ replica of the master sword from the legend of zelda.

When you regularly pause/rewind cooking shows on tv to identify the knife they are using?

Carter?

 

[rami_m]

Carter?

Isn't that's the one with a lefty handle?

 

[Zsumaru]

Carter?

Yes, I believe so. Not the hardest one to spot, but it surprised me enough to take a picture of it. I think that says enough. I don't think anyone I know would understand why someone would do this...

:scratchhead: I think that's a more advanced level of nutty...:newhere:

It was really easy. Jamie only has the one carter.

 

[Geo87]

...When you know what knives people other than yourself own...

 

[CoqaVin]

haha or you can EASILY identify them, in person like "oh what is that a Masamoto?"

 

[Zsumaru]

It was really easy. Jamie only has the one carter.

I did not know this. On the shows I've seen, he uses different knives all the time, usually something with a thick choil, apparently useful for bashing stuff...

You know you're a knife knut when . . . you can not only identify a celebrity chef's knife, but use your knowledge of how many knives that celebrity chef has by various makers to make the call

 

[toddnmd]

Oh, also, you're a knife knut if you go into your kitchen just to look at your knife collection. Sometimes you will just pick up some knives to look at and admire. Then you go back out of the kitchen. Extra points if you a) do this more than once per day, or b) do it first thing in the morning or just before you go to bed at night.

You don't have them on a night stand? At least one?

I know I'm a knife nut when I observe myself saving veal blood from the bottom of a vacuum seal pack to develop patina on my nakiri...

 

[Geo87]

... When you accidentally cut your finger and consider trying a human blood patina...

 

[daveb]

What do you mean "consider"?

 

[Chifunda]

... When you accidentally cut your finger and consider trying a human blood patina...

Please don't ask me if I've ever actually done that.:O

 

[Chuckles]

When you are admiring your favorite knife and say to your sous:

"You know I would sleep with this knife if I thought my wife would let me."

And then your sous chef replies:

"Yeah.... You've mentioned that before..."

Commence awkward pause, followed by the entrance of an unmistakable FedEx package.

[chefcomesback]

When you look at the invoices and you say " damn I paid a shig worth on a fish delivery "
Even if you work in kitchens when someone says "jamon" you are thinking about the well polished "hamon" first rather than cured piggy

 

[Matus]

... when you start a thread that which knife and stone you would take to a deserted island :laugh:

 

[daveb]

Or when you have an answer!
