Does your wife know how much your Sebenza costs?

If she does, surely there's something you can throw back in her face (nicely, of course). Handbags, shoes, a dress she wore once 3 years ago but never since because it's out of style...

No. She even doesn't know about Sebenza at all. But she has an idea how much William Henry can cost.;)
Even more, my most expensive knife I bought in the store with her. I was hesitant to spend these cash, but she said:"Just treat your self". My second most expensive knife she gave me as a birthday present. This is my wife.
 
No, but she sure is happy when she sees the new "in season" Coach purse I have for her. Hey, she has her purses, and I have my knives.
 
No she does not. But then I don't know how much she paid for a lot of her useless stuff.
 
Yes she does. She loves knives as much as I do. She doesn't mind me buying my stuff and I don't mind her buying her things. It's a two way street.
 
My wife generally doesn't care until she saw my new David Mosier custom flipper. She commented..."nice knife. It looks expensive. How much this time?". I didn't tell her because I saved up for the custom. I think most wives don't need to know if the money is coming out of your own personal account. Chicks don't get it.

Same here, she doesnt own as many expensive knives as I do but she loves knives. She collects Coach bags so when I buy a $300 knife I make sure she'll get a $300 coach bag. I dont understand why those bags are $300 but the same could be said about some of my things too.
 
I've never found any point in hiding the value of my sebenza or other knives from her because our finances are shared. I temper my purchases with statements like, "Don't you think this [>$100 slipjoint] looks great compared to that over-the-top William Henry?" ;) or "This $250 fixed blade was a real value"(as I show her the Randall, Loveless, Dozier or Kressler form the A.G. Russell catalog.

I sort of keep her on board by giving her nice knives to carry. Like the tiny little black lip pearl ultimate pen knife, or more recently the Centofante/Onion Kershaw in black/rainbow tini. That one has a slick little clip pouch to keep it at the top of her purse so it doesn't get lost in the abyss, like the A.G. Russell knife or nail clippers.
There is a Benchmade Opportunist waiting for her when she wants something a little larger than that Kershaw. :cool:
 
I tried the " buy the wife a gift of equal value" years ago. See eventually caught on so when I bought her a new Prada bag, she would jokingly ask..." so what did you buy?". I have a lot of expensive hobbies so she is use to fed ex boxes showing up at the house. It's when there is a box that has a Omega or Rolex logo on the inner box she raises a eyebrow.
 
I saw someone's tag line on here that said "my greatest fear is that when i die my wife will sell all my stuff for what i told her i paid for it"! or pretty close to that at least...that definitly sums up my position!

My wife collects jewelry, so I've started to view knives as jewelry for guys.
 
My wife thinks a Sebenza costs $75.;) Everytime I order something I hope that I am around to beat her to the door as most of the time the cost of the item is printed right on the shipping label. She hasn't caught on yet.:D
 
so far i havnt gone over $200 (yet) but she dont really ask, we share our profits and bills, she knows i wouldnt buy something if we couldnt afford it and i trust the same wtih her
 
i bought a leatherman klamath for $ 131.00,and she went NUTS!!!!,so now i don't tell her or let her know (except in the swiss army knives),i use the "i let you buy what makes you happy" tactic..has work so far
