You're at home and you set your knife down on the counter/shelf and watch TV or something like that. A while later you go to get it and it's laying somewhere else opened with gunk all over it. You ask your family and nobody will admit to using it.

This has happened to me quite a bit. I should probably start hiding them. They also lose my knives quite a bit.
 
My ex-girlfriend used to do that all the time.

Wouldn't bother me except that she would always choose my nicest knife, and she was too stupid to figure out how to use it correctly. She would either stick the blade into something then twist the crap out of the knife, and I'd end up with a mangled edge and twisted tip. Or she would try to cut through metal staples and nails with it. :grumpy:

...Then she would get mad at me for noticing that she had done it, and give me the old "it's just a stupid knife, isn't that what it's for?" ....uhgg!

-But there's a happy ending to that. I dumped her, and now I have a cool wife with enough sense to listen when I give knife advise. And she actually encourages my knife addiction! :)
 
I'm letting my mom carry my millie around. She has been extra cautious ever since I told her the msrp she would have to give me if she lost/broke it.

Attaboy! :D
 
Never happened to me...Everybody knows that my knives are no-go if i havent given the green light.

Plus i gave my wife a Fallkniven F1 to use in the kitchen. Its practically hers now and resides in the drawer with the other utensils. She loves it and it keeps her from rummaging in my knife drawer.
 
My knives are displayed in the very own chifforobe. I don't go in my wife's purse and she doesn't go in my chifforobe. We have a happy marriage.
 
Yeah people always take my knives I just tell them put them back and don't attempt to cut anything metal.

Same here, my knives do not get touched unless I'm asked, my girl knows how I am with my knives and she's cool with it, although she does tease me a little bit for having a knife addiction.
 
Same as with firearms, I don't lay them around, but everyone knows not to touch.

There are plenty of other designated tools that can be used.

Stupid women are not good for much (I can only think of one thing off the top of my head). A cool wife that is smart and sensible - that's hard to beat! Long term the relationship will only work if you get pleasure from spending time together, not just while having sex either. Sounds like you are onto a good thing now - I hope it lasts for a long, long time!
 
My father in law trolled through my slip joints (I was at work) when he came to visit a few years ago and picked one of my stag handeled Case knives. :mad:

He then brought it to me on his next visit and asked me to sharpen it after he had used his sharpening method of a file on a wood block for a few years. :thumbdn:

When I asked him where he got the knife he said, "Don't you remember that you gave it to me as a gift?" :eek:

I now keep my knives in my gun safe. I didn't say anything to him as he is generous with the kids and I was able to replace it easy enough. Lesson learned. I send him a new Buck 301 slippy every so often to keep him at bay.
 
accolades to Gagetaholious, i once asked a lady if she would appreciate me using her cuticle sissors to trim dog nails.
 
A chifferobe? That sounds like some sort of pink lacy lingerie thing but it must be some sort of furniture. I keep getting this image in my head of a pair of pink satiny lacy things turned into knife sheaths. Boy what a rich vein of symbolism for some shrink to work over.

+1 :confused:

Sounds French. ...Or Maybe something you'd find in a stuffy old english aristocrats home.

....I'm sure that whatever it is, it's quite usefull and manly if it belongs to one of our fellow BF members though! :D
 
The Chifferobe is a chest of drawers with a cabinet for larger items built on one side. Its suppose to be for storing clothes. This is one is an odd one in that it stands only about 3.5 feet high. and has drawers only two or three inches deep, making it very impractical for storing clothes but great for storing knives.

I display the knives in the drawers and keep all my knife supplies in the cabinet located on the side. The chest is low enough to display a couple knife cases on top.

This particular chest is made of cherry wood. I have lined all the drawers with felt. To display my toothpicks, or army knives, etc I just open the appropriate drawer. It adds a touch of class to my man-cave.
