Do You Hide Your Knife Purchases from your Spouse...& do you get away with it?

[Maddogg774]

Do anyone have a successful way to hide your addiction? or do you just wear it proudly, consequence be damned?

 

[Colorodo]

I wear them openly and if she asks , I did get a new knife but sold an old one to get it.

As Ben Franklin would say, "fart proudly"!

Its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!!

And No.. My wife supports my habit as long as I keep it in check.. John

I try not to hide things from my wife. She’s got her addictions, I’ve got mine.

 

[Murphjd25]

I use too at first, and I should have known better. She finds everything. It led to some arguments but she accepts it now when I don’t hide them, so it worked out anyways. My advice would be if I had to do it all over again, not to hide it from your spouse or significant other.

I just say "Oh, I've had that for a long time".

 

[Owen K.]

Yeah. I’ve had this for ages babe...

 

[Pilsner]

Yep, “You mean you’ve never seen this one, darling? Take a closer look, it’s got this excellent...”

Watch as her eyes glaze over.

I only have 3 knives: 1 folder with a thumbhole, 1 folder with a opening disc and one fixed blade. The reason those 3 knives change handle- and sheath color from day to day is that I got a really good deal when I bought them, and the seller sold the knife with different scales and sheath. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

And of course the allready mentioned: «this old thing? Found it in the back of the closet, figured I had to start use it again»

Why would I hide something I bought from my spouse?

I try to keep my married and personal life separate at all times.

Because it’s a surprise present for his/her birthday?

 

[DRLyman]

I never have and never will hide anything from my wife.

 

[Kbrasmodeler]

No, I don't hide things from my wife. I want to stay married.

lol. If I buy something, I don't hide that fact from my spouse (and vice versa).

Don't wanna get all "Dr Phil", though, so No. I don't really have any good tips on how to hide things you do from your spouse.

 

[blades&wrenches]

I have, but not for some time. Better to just be honest if she asks. I don't run and tell her when I buy one but don't hide it either.
She doesn't give me grief about knives and I don't give her any about the slew of Amazon boxes that show up almost daily.

Pro tip: We buy our own presents. So much easier that way!!!

Yes, we often go down that route too! I already know what she’s ‘buying me’ for Christmas, and doubtless I will receive similar instruction nearer the time.
