Wear lots of bandaids: the girls hanging around will either be drawn to you because:
a) They're nursing students and sense upcoming opportunities;
b) They underdstand anyone with that many bandaids and arms shaved better than their legs is a knife person;
c) They have transylvanian accents and only come out at night to feed.

If you ever find one send me some DNA. I have a do-it-yourself cloning kit I'm dying to use.

Funny stuff!
"sujestions on finding out if a girl likes or at least doesn't mind sharp pointy objects?"---Well, Wildmanh, other than the above suggestions, I guess just show off your collection, maybe show a girl your carry knife. Women seem to like the wicked-looking persian and asian blades, the lines of the knife speak to them. Try to de-emphasize that this is a tool capable of killing, that's the unsavory part of weapons for most people. I always emphasized discipline and respect/responsibility of owning and carrying such a tool.
Before I met my wife, I owned a number of guns & knives, and I still do. I just acted like it was not a big deal, they're tools or collectibles. She came around, got her to shoot some guns, bought her some expensive and durable kitchen knives (we both won on the kitchen knife deal! heehee).
She came from a house where guns were evil, I came from a house where you'd shot a gun before you got to high school, and owned your first knife before you entered boy scouts. Now my wife's cool with all sorts of outdooorsy stuff, but I had to convert her, slowly but surely.
If you go to a knife and gun show, you will see and meet some women, too!

Can you send me some old fingernail clippings? 
I lack charm, wit and dashing good looks. I'm also poor.

Wife's new knife just came in. I'll post pics later. She still doesn't see the purpose in me having more than one khukuri...
