Does better half know you bought a new blade?

Does better half know you bought a new blade?

Not if I can help it. I handle all the household finances and she has no concept of money so I only have to convince myself to break the budget. It usually goes something like this: {puts item in online shopping cart} ask self "should I be spending this money?"...."I probably shouldn't be spending this money"...{immediately clicks submit order}... obsessively track the package and repeat the process. Addiction ain't pretty ;)

The trick is to click "Place Order" before you can talk yourself out of it. Works every damn time!
 
Compared to my other hobbies, knives are easy to hide. Its much harder to keep a new pair of shoes, a gun, or a bottle of cologne from the wife.
 
I am the breadwinner, so if she buys $75 in clothes, I buy $200 in knives. Only the amazon prime account is in my name, so I see everything she buys, but we have separate bank accounts, so she has no idea. New shoes came today, I happened to be home at the time, and something else came as well that we bought together, so I carried that in, left the shoe box behind the bushes. On my way back to work, tossed them in the car. Will hide them and wear them when she isn't around until they are beat up enough that she won't think they are new.

I am quite evil and quite insane. However, I am very practiced at this. In high school and college, I worked at a local, high end shoe store. Back then, he would yell at any of us if we bought anything, but it was ok to spend thousands on his boat and fishing stuff. So what did I do? I left for school before he left for work, and was home before him--In the morning, I'd toss the shoes out the window of my second floor bedroom, change in the car at school, at home hide them in my room. Hell I hid the new car I bought my wife for two days until her day off.
 
So far, in the last couple of weeks, iv managed to get myself a condor duku parang, condor el salvadore machete /w micarta handles, and now have a HI Tin chirra Kukri on the way... and the significant other dosent know about any of them...haha..
It is however quite difficult to hide such large blades...so far so good though!
 
She just asked me what i was doing. I said ," looking at porn". She doesn't like anyone associated with Bladeforums.
Corruptive influence that they are.
 
She's usually with me when I go to the local Benchmade dealer. So, yes, she knows. She also has her next two blades picked out.

I know guys who catch flak from their spouses for buying guns/knives/accessories. When I'm shopping for that sort of stuff it's likely that mine will find something she wants, and it's never anything cheap. Having a wife that is interested in the same kind of toys you enjoy is nice, but can get kind of expensive.
