GF arrives to watch movie together .. Popcorn made and hit the couch ...
Meg Ryan movie is put in DVD player (she brought it) :rolleyes:.......
10 minutes go by.......

Her: Ever think about putting those knives away and actually decorating your place so it's presentable?

Me : No

Her: I think you should let me take a crack at it ... will only take a few weeks to get some things rounded up.

Me: Silence and thoughts of 15 years of marriage and never actually seeing the bed under dozens of pillows with decorative covers, frilly stuff adorning walls, various "shelf art" (junk) she picked up from some chic little shop.

Her: It's about time you grew up and start exposing yourself to things most people do.

Me: I like my knives, they make me happy. I like my knives in plain sight and I like how I have them displayed just fine. I didn't buy them to sit in a safe in my closet. It's a great hobby for me.

Her: You know..... I feel like I'm second fiddle to your hobby. I think you like your knives better than you like me.

Me: (Silence because it doesn't matter what I say next, it won't be the right thing to say)

Her: You don't have anything to say about that? I think I'm going to leave and go home. (Coat goes on and out the door she goes)

Me: (Thought Bubble ) I'm free to going hiking in the morning and now that I look at it, that satin ABA doesn't match the others on that top shelf.
 
I think you're right about that satin ABA. Probably should move that before your hike.....
 
Dude,,,,,,, my whole life is like that,,,,I'm Married an she dislikes blades. Find a woman who'd appreciate a nice custom INFI blade as a gift , and keep her,,,,, ! Your collection would grow quicker and you would'nt have too many nights like that or at least they would'nt end like that over blades :thumbup:
 
Yea the satin does make the display a little unbalanced.

I think I actually had the same convesation with my girlfriend. It went along the same lines except she said I should put them in a glass case. Maybe you could do that.
 
And I've been dealing with my Satin/Sabre/SFNO weeping all week because the LESFNO hasn't arrived yet! It cleared a spot for it already, right next to it but it hasn't arrived yet. Poor little fella :(
I put the Culty and the GW by it's side for comfort.
 
You had me at

"GF arrives to watch movie together .. Popcorn made and hit the couch ...

time to move on.
 
If you're anything like me (or a lot of us here), you aren't like "most people" and the things that most people do, the way they live their lives are not relevant to your interests.

I'm in no position to be handing out advice, but if your girlfriend recognizes that knife collecting is a source of joy in your life and would have you give it up, I know I'd be making plans to rid myself of something. And it wouldn't be the knives. :foot::barf:
 
Any woman that wants to change your life BEFORE you marry her is going to be BIG trouble!

Nice cultie, I see it found a good home.

That ABA does not fit at all... you should send it to me!
 
Hey,

I bought my GF a Mathews bow for Valentines day (loved it), a .243 for her birthday(tickled to death, since her ex pawned all of her guns) and all kinds of other assorted goodies.

But, it does not matter whether they like knives, guns, or any of the other things that we men value. She will still be constantly searching your space for a spot that she can put a plant or some unGodly knickknack she either recently aquired ("mom got it for me ain't it cute") or has had forever (as in I never found anyone who would let me sit it on their coffee table.)

Find a woman who can appreciate an empty space without wanting to fill it, and you will have really found something!!!!!!
 
After my GF "redesigned" my bedroom we have a rule that ALL the gifts she gives me have to be consumable. Like say Scotch or beer :cool: :thumbup:

.
 
dude, you should manage, sitting at this computer talking to people, Working 40 hours at day job, making knives after work and on weekends! (24hours+) and a major Straight Handle Infi Addiction (the search, hunt, and rescue). My girl gets so MAD! the other day she asked "who the hell is AMY" when that happens! damn!! good luck dude! It gets worse!! Wait till you go to Blade! and she thinks it's nothing but "Knife Groopies"

ha lol!! just let it roll off man!! LIKE A DUCK!!!!
 
My wife wanted to spend a bunch of money on a fancy dining room table. After several days of her looking online and in showrooms I suggested we get a nice pooltable with a fancy dining table top custom made.

She thought it was a great idea and she was thinking of the same thing earlier in the day. The next day I got me a very cool pool table:D

On our first date (years ago) she brought out a tupperware box filled with cuban cigars and she asked me if they were any good (she knew how good they were).

Another time I told her I was going to send her to the spa for a full day of luxury on her birthday (we were still just dating). She told me no thanks... she wanted to spend the day together test driving sports cars! At the end of the day she bought herself a BMW z4 convertible, and I took over the lease on her 3 series!

Another day we were driving down the street and I suggested we stop and look at boats just for fun. 2 hours later and I had me a new boat.

PS she likes my knives!

Good women are out there, and they don't force you to watch Meg Ryan movies either.

Good luck!

VERY TRUE, my last GF and this one loved hunting and appreciated my love of steel and knives. Its very important to find someone who appreciates you and your hobbies even if they dont understand them. My current GF like tassle dolls I mean WTF? Tassle Dolls? But its her thing and at least she likes my thing....its all about compromise. She can have all the Tassle dolls she wants as long as I can have all the INFI I want....pretty good compromise.

Like the song says "she likes me for me", remember she needs to like you for you.
 
Sounds like its time for a new GF.

But seriously, any woman that would say "I think Im second fiddle to your hobby", is manipulating you. Seriously, because you dont have enough nick-nacks, shes second fiddle?
 
Thanks for all the moral support guys :thumbup:

It's times like these that are so hard for us men to get thru!

I even bought her a slice of Portilo's Chocolate Cake knowing it was a certain time for her!

Can't let it go to waste now! :D
