But I need to find a way to sneak more INFI into the house

I can't help but think the wife will be mad when the NMFSHCG shows up in 6-8 weeks, but at least it won't be like the High Street that just showed up "What is that? Another knife?" It doesn't help that I've recently rediscovered my love for a good quality folder for EDC as well, as I picked up a nice Benchmade for EDC...and there may or may not be a Hinderer XM-18 showing up sometime in January... But how do I explain the 20th/30th anniversary blades when the time comes for them?

I only ask because there's no way I can NOT order a 20th anniversary mean street...
 
Get so many that she can't tell them apart. Leave them laying around like it's nothing new (provided there aren't any kids around). It's been my experience that whether it's a new gun or knife my beautiful wife can't tell apart from the old ones. :o :thumbup:
 
See, problem is that my wife is not ignorant of either knives or guns, and she works from home so she sees the packages coming in...

Makes it hard to sneak things past her since it's not like I can get packages at work.
 
You could always get one for her and let her catch the bug too. Then she will be just as happy as you when a new one arrives.

I had the same problem...I get told off every time she sees something different...and she doesn´t even know how much they are worth... so I discover the way to solve the problem.

Go "Pavolv" on her...

Make her associate your purchases with good experiences... e.g. take her to a little trip with every knife you recieve..or bring a cake to cut... or get her a gift along with your knife..

Sadly that´s what I did with my dogs...my dogs were aggresive towards extrangers...until I decided I wont take them out miself...and hired people to do it... there was an issue the very first time, but for the second time they got it righ-away, I have changed "dog walkers" three or four times and now my dogs love everyone that pops in the house...needless to say they are not guardians.

Everytime I get the slightest coment about the amount of knives...(she can´t tell them apart either)...I suggest a trip to try them...I allways bring along the same one she doesn´t even notices it...LOL:D

Get her drunk occasionally. When a new knife comes. Tell her you two ordered it together whilst on a bender.
 
I get her drunk as often as possible, for reasons other than knives.

Maybe when the 20th anniversary Mean Street comes out I can order two and "gift" her the second one... Or rather, the first, since she'd be the more important one, of course.
 
get a couple of hundred dollars, tell her you sold a knife and made a little extra......take her to dinner.
 
yikes, glad I get to share this passion with my other half! wouldn't want to have to sneak new knives into the house. Hubby lets me get whatever I want anyway, and vice-versa, so it's a non-issue in our household.
