Yes, they need someplace to sell all the knives they confiscate at security. (The way I am sure the Mora authorities sold on Emil's confiscated explosives, to bring it back to the comic.)

I doubt it would work well as either knife or sword, but it is decorative and funny.

You two'd be surprised ...

(It looks like the style of the Verlängerungsmesser (extension knife) is particularly popular for "finishing stab" knives, namely, for boars and deer.)

I suspect that Sigrun would nonetheless prefer a balisword, if not an urumi, though ...

That last picture looks like a boucanning knife. Those I know to be useful, (I used to own an old one)  if only for preparing meat for drying.

You know you are an SSSS addict, when you write "most clearest" in an email. A work email, to a project manager you don't really know because he's from another country, and a native English speaker.

Eh, typos happen. Did you also congratulate him on having better delegation/organization/etc skills than three normal boring guys? Or refer to him by a weird nickname?

When your sketchbook became a SSSSketchbook because of so many ssss fanarts inside
When you start re-drawing (or printing) comic pages so you can always have them with you. Or around you. Or in your pocket. On your desk.
You started drawing protective runes
You say something is "most best" and 'the awesomest"
You start making character playlists.
You print and bind together your favorite fics ( I'm in the middle of said process)
You think about stitiching a cleanser's emblem onto your coat (I NEED to do it)
you started listening to the music from the Nordic countries
You got interested in Nordic language and culture
You say "Thank Gods"
You know the first rule of survival outside the safe areas by heart
and so on...
