I am a horrible person

Get your wife something. Though its a dead giveaway it will show that you aint just thinking about yourself.

I got her an ice cream sandwich last night. Does that count?
 
^lmao...

Only if she really apprciates ice cream sandwiches as much as you as you do Knives...
 
Get your wife a knife ;). In all honesty I'm not married or in a serious relationship so I have no real advice.
 
^^^ Actually, I buy my babe blades all the time - EDC, tactical, kitchen - and she loves it! So that's not bad advice, BenC.

Here's the latest example - Miyabi Chef's Knife - very nice:

Knives are more important than keeping promises to your spouse.

Correct.

And, if your wife puts a superficial limit on how many knives you can own at one time, do the same for her shoes...

Seriously though, this kind of 'control' is not a relationship, it's just one person dominating the other for some sick satisfaction.

If you're being responsible financially, grow a pair and tell her to....(fill in the blanks)
 
Ha, the OP made me laugh. I can't count how many times I told my wife I'd start selling some off before buying more. :)

But I can tell I'm getting close to her breaking point, because she recently went back through our credit card bills and added up all my blade purchases. Just to show me how many thousands I'd spent in the last year. Ooops, those little buggers add up fast. :D

depends is that a metaphor? LOL. Just kidding. Id say a pair of shoes, or a purse? Not that im not completely stereotyping. She may not be into that stuff. I did find though the quickest way to get my past girlfriends over my knife collecting was to buy them a knife. One of them really liked it and actually started appreciating my collection. The other one was so offended she didnt care if I ever bought another knife again just as long as I didnt buy her another, lol.

The fastest way for me to get girlfriends over my knife collecting was to just get rid of the girlfriend....

C'mon!!!

This is wrong. Be you, find someone who likes and respects who you are and what you like to do.

Anything else, and you may as well stay single....
 
Do something impressively manly with all those knives.
Make it so she sees them as an aphrodisiac!

Carve her a present.
Build a new end-table.
trim those hedges she hates the look of.

Cooking supper with them will show their utility, and work better for romance than 42 red roses. ;)
 
I pawned the wife off on some other unsuspecting sucker years ago.
Now I have all the knives I want. :thumbup:

Not many women like the knife hobby around chicago.
 
Don't run up to her all like "IM SORRY I LIED, IVE GOT 12 KNIVES, NOT 10."
If she asks just say yeah I have a few I forgot about.
Do, however, let her know you can't guarantee a specific number or that there won't be an occasional random purchase. You're a knife guy! It's just part of who you are.
