Yes its true. I had my custom Kasper confiscated yesterday, by my wife! I had only received it yesterday, when she intercepted the package. Inside is a beautiful peice fof Pat's handiwork. A large Kasper with satin finished titanium frame, rounded stag overlays, and a 4" 154CM satin blade! I did get to hold it and it is a PERFECT fit! The stag handles are handfilling and rounded so that there are no sharp corners or edges. I mean its like it was built to fit MY hand. I did inspect the fit of the blade, again PERFECT. Lock is just right, no play at all, and centered perfectly when closed. And she CONFISCATED it!!!
Well things could be worse. I could find it on the for sale forum! I will have to wait and find it Dec. 25th under the Christmas tree. Its going to be a tough wait but I will make it. Especially since she didn't intercept the Crawford Covert Operator. He He He!

Tough luck Art, but hey Christmas isn't that far away.
Nice gift. I bet most guys on this forum would love a gift like that.
 
I perfected this art as a kid. All you gotta do is wait till it's wrapped, find something of equal weight (Indiana Jones used a bag of sand), steam the tape open on the gift wrapping removing it completely, make the switch, and then replace the tape with the same precision your wife incoporated.

That way you can carry it all the while! On Christmas Day, you've just gotta be really slick when opening the gift. Distract your wife with either a cloud of smoke, or some really nice jewelry. Hey, it's not easy being green.

Professor.
 
Are you sure you will be getting it for Christmas? Maybe she doesn't think you have been a good boy.

Or, maybe she'll keep it for herself.

I'm with Dirk. I had a Kershaw Boa with the 'paint spattered' handle. My wife, a blonde version of 'Chyna,' took a liking to the knife, and now it rides in her jeans--gone forever. It's tempting to rescue the 'lost sheep' while the rest of the flock is safely in my care. But you have to choose your fights.--OKG
 
Oh no! I have been a VERY GOOD boy this year.
That, and the fact that there is no gold or diamonds on the Kasper assures me that I have an enjoyable Christmas morning to look forward too. Doesn't hurt to let "slip" about the matching necklace and bracelet that will be under there on Christmas morning either. Now I just have to go out and find a matching necklace and bracelet! Oh well, it will take my mind off that stag handled Kasper for a while.

To Rockspyder: Yeah, my wife is a tall, weight-lifting blonde, but it isn't all gravy. After a few decades with me, she has a bad attitude, a proficiency with firearms, and now she's getting picky with knives! The problem is she uses knives like sharp crowbars! When she wants to get into a box, she kinda slashes and pries all at the same time! She makes forcefull cuts over and over again, but not along the same original mark. Then the packing peanuts go in all directions! With her kitchen knives, it's worse! We have the usual Chicago Cutlery set which I finish to a mirror edge on the Edge-Pro. I don't even go into the kitchen when she's cooking. She bones a chicken by slashing right through the meat into whatever is beneath it; cutting block, china plate, cardboard box--it's all the same to her! True story; that same knife set has a cleaver in it--big sucker. She asked me to put a 19 degree polished, razor edge on it. The next night, I thought I heard the sound of a PR police baton crashing into the counter. There she stood, with a grin on her face, and the two halves of an acorn squash. She told me they are difficult to halve, hence the cleaver request. She still refers to the cleaver as her 'squash whacker.' Yeah, she looks great in stiletto heeled shoes, but every knife in my house fears for its life!--OKG

Funny story, though. My wife is the same way, although not quite as violent about it. Ceramic, glass, whatever, the blade gets jammed right into it. Sharp edges have a half-life of about 2 seconds in our kitchen.

You should see my mother with our kitchen knives! My father bought her a set of Ontario high-carbon kitchen knives years ago for her birthday(I am told she wasn't very grateful) and she beats the hell out of them. I sharpened them all with my Sharpmaker when I got it, for practice, and less than a week later she'd reduced them to butter knives again. What is it with women and kitchen knives?
 
To Disco Stu: After 32 years with the wife, or The Wiff, as I call her, I've come to a conclusion. Women hate anything that they think competes for their attention. Football? Hot cars? 'Chyna'? It's no secret that I like my toys, so the wiff has this expression when she sees a new one, "Hey, a gun's a gun." In the past year, I've taken great pride in putting a razor-mirror edge on every knife in the house with the Edge-Pro; that's valuable time I could have spent massaging her feet. So she slams my edges in metal cookie sheets...--OKG
 
OH YEA!!!
