So I only have one knife, and I bought it to replace the one I lost, but in shopping for this one, I think I caught something. I had a hard time deciding between a bm 940, bm 960, and Endura 4 with zdp. I settled on the Endura with the thought in the back of my mind that I could always go back and get a bm in a few months.

Well it's been about a month and I found my self browsing Opinels. How did I go from just wanting a second knife being a bm to checking out wooden lower price folders.

And that's not the problem I'm having. My wife caught me browsing the Opinel knives and she exclaimed "Are you looking for another knife?!" Uggh.
I'm thinking to my self "Yes I'm looking for another one and there's still at least one more that I want." But I'm saying out loud to her "No I'm just curious." ;)
 
It's a virus. It's okay. No, it won't kill you. Now the question is... do you cover up your symptoms (because it will NOT go away...) or do you tell the wife it's not curable and get your fixes as you please. Denial is a terrible thing. Embrace the symptoms. Life gets sweeter.
 
It's always one more knife I MUST have, it's common with man hobbies. Embrace it.

You're better off forcing your wife to realize that the disease will never go away. This way, you can hint at different models around birthdays, anniversaries, etc. and get knives for gifts :thumbup:

She might not understand at first, but just keep buying them and they eventually give up trying to stop you. This worked on my girlfriend :D
 
i get in some sort of trouble w/ every prchase. i have a most wanted list that get longer quicker than it gets shorter, and she just shakes her head till something comes in the mail, then i get a good tounge lashing.

but a new knife helps w/ the pain.

it is a disease, but the best knid.

Oh please don't say a tongue lashing is painful. If it is she's doing it wrong!
:p
 
is this the reason knife nutts marry? to drive the spouse nutts and to get knives as gifts?


what a life :D
 
Hey.......your talking to the choir. First....don't panic. It's absolutely natural what you're going through :) . It's best to feed the need online rather than in front of your spouse. Second....if she questions you in any way.....simply tell her you promise not to comment on her incessant purchases on Ebay of jewelry, furniture, Italian glass, gems............etc. You catch my drift. Let her know this is YOUR PASSION! Have her understand that you would never quell her passions so please respect you and yours.
 
Step 1...Find a wife-swapping page on the internet and save it to your hard disk.
Step 2...Set it up in your Bookmarks/favorites.
Step 3...Browse knives as desired.
Step 4...When wife enters room immediately load wife-swapping page.
Step 5...Tell her you're just looking.
She will immediately find your knife shopping easy to bear.

Just tell her your going to get one knife for every pair of shoes she DOESN'T wear. That should be good for a minimum of 20 knives.

Beyond genius.


























That's often considered insane. :D
 
Seriously?
Sit and talk with your wife, that you would like to collect knives.
It is your hobby.
Set a budget that you both can agree to and afford and stick to it.
Which means you can not spend for a couple of months and buy something nice afterwards.
 
Look, who wears the pants in your family? If you need another knife, you just look your wife in the eye and say, "Yeah, I was looking for another knife. I don't particularly care for the one I have now, and to be frank, steel prices have been going up, so it's going to cost a bit more. You have a problem with that?" And by the time you get out of the hospital, your new knife should have arrived.
 
Do you work? If you do then you have money.

money+want=Knife ;)

Now whats the problem? :D:D:D
