I just got my wife a Cold Steel Spike as one of her gifts for our first wedding anniversary.

Same here, not the Spike, but my wife liked daggers or similar weapon-style knives. And carried them. Her mother would probably have liked the spike: she carried an icepick. :)
 
I bought my Wife a knife many years ago. She happened to see the knife along with other knives that I bought before Christmas. She was upset that my Brother was getting a Case knife (stockman) with a wood handle and she got a lock back with a plastic handle. She asked "Why did she get "that" knife". I said "Well it is light, easy to carry and it is a Buck". She said "If it is a Buck why didn't you buy more"? :rolleyes:
 
I used to feel bad buying multi-tools or knives but then I decided to buy some for my wife when I bought some for myself. It turns out she loved them. She now has a Leatherman Micra, a couple of Swisscards, and she'll get a new Leatherman Juice S2 in Burnt Orange for our Anniversary (along with some jewelry of course). I also bought her a Miss Army Knife which seems to be her favorite. I have to admit, it's kinda cool.

My wife carries a small spyderco clipped to her waistband all of the time and an Ingram custom knife in her purse. She is scary with the slice and dice abilities.

Years ago I bought my girlfriend (now wife) a BuckSwiss. She had previously owned a SAK when travelling in Costa Rica, but had lost it and wanted a replacement.

My daughter travelled to Namibia to do a college course over a spring semester last year. She lived with the local people in the desert (Hemba people for several weeks to study them) Her boker knife disappeared after she offered to let the Hemba natives use it to butcher a goat. (the only knife in camp was a rusty old machete and it bothered her to watch them cut on the poor goat with it) She just chalked it up to a group that could use her boker a lot more than she could.

She now carries a "Lady Hawk" knife designed by Graciela Casillas and produced by Masters of Defense.
 
I bought my wife a red and black Kershaw Chive at the same time I bought my red and black Leek (my edc). She loves it, and sometimes carries it clipped to her pocket, like me. (I can hear it now: "Awwww, ain't they cute!") Some of her classmates in nursing school have said things like, "Who are you going to cut with that?" My wife simply informs them about how useful a small folding knife can be, especially for someone in medicine, and they shut up. Did I mention that she is from Colombia and has chased down thieves in Cali, so she doesn't put up with a lot of crap?!

I also bought her a titantium handled Russell Funny Folder and had her name imprinted on it. Turns out, she was ready to order a Funny Folder for herself since she liked mine so much! Yes, she loves that one too.

Someone at Benchmade decided to make it, and through some roundabout ways it ended up on consignment at the local cutlery store.

However it happened, my g/f loves it!
 
I wanted my wife to have a utility knife in her purse, just in case, and gave her a Victorinox Hiker. Surprisingly she wanted it, but turns out she has weak fingers and the Hiker is too dificult for her to open. She confiscated my Vic Trailmaster, :rolleyes: but now she thinks it is too big for her. :D For Mother's day I got her a Rainbow Chive with an attached aluminum body LED mini light.
 
My fiancee' joked with me that she wanted a "pink knife", so I had Mike Stewart at Bark River make her up an E.L.K. with a pink pearl handle; it sorta got to be a joke, so I ordered here a pink pearl mini-candian. She likes 'em, 'cause she says she know I'm gonna leave hers alone, as I would never want to be seen carrying a pink knife.
 
My wife carries a Spyderco Navigator (a recent event) and a Leatherman Squirt. She gave has carried a SAK Recruit and Spartan but I think she retired them when she got the Squirt.
 
Sarah grew up working in her folks' lake marina in Michigan, so she never had anything against knives. She had a Barlow when I took her off the shelf. When we'd been dating a couple months, we picked out his and hers Benchmade Panthers. Since then I've gotten her a Micra, a BM 720S, a South African Kershaw Wild Wild Turkey, a CRKT Bear Claw, and a Benchmite. When she's got rough work to do, she asks me what the right one of mine to borrow is. Ah, what a keeper.
 
I am a girl (not a wife yet!) and I carry a Benchmade 707 in my purse at all times. :)

BTW - Steven Roos, love the purple Brend!
 
Oh yeah, I have bought my SO a knife for a present. I have purchased SAK's, a Camillus "Sizzle", which seems to be the current favorite. I can not what knives I have purchased for the SO, over the last 13 years.
 
Yep, a couple times.
As a youngster, I bought my high school sweetheart a Gerber mini-EZ-out. She was an outdoors nut like me, and she loved it. Maybe I should look her up and see what she's been doing for the last aeon or two.
I've given the current 'main squeeze' two knives: a Vic Excelsior that I bought in Germany, and a Bark River Mikro-Canadian. She used to keep the Vic in her purse, but she's a school teacher now (seems to be a common dilemma...). Didn't really use it much anyway... But I've caught her making good use of the Mikro a couple times around the house.
Peace.
 
I'm batting only .500 with my wife... I've bought her a nice custom, and she appropriated my Chive. The custom is a nice version of Craig Camerer's Bird and Trout with a nice chunk of stag I hand picked. I had Craig make a nice little leather dangler sheath for it. Dontcha know... I had to confiscate it from her. She kept taking it out of her purse. The Chive, however, still manages to stay in her purse and occasionally get used by her. I still think she took it from me because I used to sit and watch TV and flick it open and closed to the point that it drove her nuts.
 
I got my wife a Cold Steel Military Rescue Tanto Blade SE and a CRKT K.I.S.S., and then I gave her a CRKT Mirage, which she lost. I found it about 2 years later (she misplaced it/hid it from herself). Now I hang onto it for her:D.

God Bless:)

I slowly brought my wife into the obsession with a carribean blue case muskrat...If only I'd known....Now she has a Gerber guardian clipped to her visor for the would be car jacker, a SAK and TOPS wolf pup in her carry bag, and we just got two Kershaw Bumps for EDC. She likes blue and I like green so that worked out perfectly. Every gift giving occasion I try to get her some knid of knife as she is really interested in collecting, and after all, she always gets one for me. She bought me a Randall(my first and only) on my 40th birthday, and a Strider SMF for Christmas. I think I'll keep her...:D
 
If you want to get her a knife that is really cool and useful look at the Spyderco, Victorinox (aka Forschner) or Benchmade Kitchen knives. They are super knives in the kitchen (I steal them for hunting/camping trips). This is what I have bought for the Dragon Lady over the years and they were much appreciated.

On the Victorinox website just go to "products" click "professional knives"

http://www.victorinox.com/newsite/en/produkte/index.htm

These will definately make her life easier.

The Dragon Lady has a Leatherman in her car's glove compartment and we have a couple of "beaters" around the house/garage/basement that we use including a Boker Magnum, Gerber Gator, etc. for opening fertilizer bags, cutting rope, trimming bushes, etc. But the kitchen knives are the ones that get the most use by far.

I forgot to mention she has a small serrated Spyderco Ladybug with flashlight on her keychain (as do I). We never plan on using them but do all the time. I use mine for cutting stuff, she uses her flashlight to find stuff down in the deep dark depths of her purse (a scary place!).
