Is it normal that i'm terrified of knives?

I hate knives. I hate using them, washing them, but mostly seeing them. It makes me feel so unsafe seeing them just lying on the counter. So unsafe that I will walk over to it and put it away. Or even if it's on the counter and the blade is pointing towards me, I will turn it the other way.
Is this normal..

    Remember knives don't kill people.

    People do.

      Couldn't agree with you more. You should be afraid of the person holding the knife. Unless your really clumsy.

    This is probably a phobia, or something close to it. If you read about phobias and why they exist, you will se that it makes sense to be scared of knifes.

    I like having knives. I want to get a stiletto blade someday. A real genuine Italian stiletto switchblade with a long blade and a strong snap to it when it unleashes. Yeah. Fuck yeah.

    I also want an out-the-front knife. They just seem cool and dangerous as shit.
