She was telling me about something that he friend said on myspace that had, somewhat, to do with survival. It was mainly a question of the rambow knife. I then told her about how often we get people in here that pose the question of which knife would be best for any survival situation and told her about how pretty much every time we go through the same thing starting out with a suggestion here and there and then it becomes more a discusiion about the importance of carrying more than one knife at a time to better deal with a wider range of situations. She said, What do you think? I said, "I'm of the school of thought that believes that a good fixed blade, folder and multitool can get you through damn near anything. Unless of course you're in some place where having an axe or hatchet becomes the difference between life and a slow and denial filled death.

That's when my beautiful angel replied with, "So you're more into a version of the Nessmuk Trio?"

I almost shat. I said, "How in the hell do you even know what that is?" She said, "They had an article in your May issue of Tactical Knives called the Modern Nessmuk Trio. Plus of seen it mentioned and explained in a couple of your books." My jaw almost landed in the shat when it hit the floor. I said "I never knew you read my magazines." She said, "Well I wanted to have a better appreciation for something that you're that passionate about so I've been reading all the articles you dog-ear for a while now." I was instantly aroused. lol

Talk about a woman who goes that extra mile to be closer to her hubby. Almost brings a tear. ...almost. I'm still tough. *tough face*
 
One thing I learned in a decade of marriage. When you leave your mag's in the toilet - they get read by everyone in the family :)
 
Aw, good story man. Congrats on having such a fun and cool wife. Hard to find someone who's happy to take the initiative and share in a hobby with you. :thumbup: That's a keeper! (Plus you'll need someone around in case you need another trip to the ER for stitches :eek: )
 
If my Wife ever mentions a "trio" to me, knives and axes will not be what I HOPE she means?!?!?!?!;):foot:















It's possible.....errr...... no...... OK I'm gonna quit now.
;):D










You have a good Woman there.
 
Buy that Gal a nice knife, maybe a pair of hiking boots. a small saw or a sak, A good pack...... :) Pat
 
LMAO tarmix - if mine mentions trio -its usally the father the son and the holy ghost, while I'm thinking larry, curly and moe....
 
Out-frikin'-standing!

Reminds me of the time I was looking for a handgun and my wife said "1911's are nice". True story. may God strike me dead if I'm lying!

Yep, my jaw ended up in the same pile yours did. Feels good to have a wife like that, dut'nit? :D
 
Good women bro. Real cool she takes an interest in your stuff. Better pick up her Cosmo and get reading...........

Uh oh!!!!



Hah just kidding, she has seen "those" magazines next to the toilet.



I am speaking about gun magazines of course :shifty eyes:

This could work read the covers if you are in line at a supermarket or Walmart. The copy that mentions "6 New Ways To Blow His.........Mind" could give you and her something to think about. Pat

Last night I was flipping though a CMP catalog and told the fiance I was thinking about getting a Garand with my stimulus check.

What did I hear?

"Darby you don't need another gun" NO

"Darby you need to save that money" NOPE

But a beautiful

"I LIKE it!"

I had a poo eating grin.

Darby,

Good on ya bro!

This isn't the first time my wife has knocked me off my feet. A friend of mine was selling a Winchester 94 because he was out of work and needed cash. I bought the rifle and when I got it home my wife shouldered it, looked it over and said, "nice. now get yourself one". :eek:

Of course I did. Thats how I ended up with these two (almost matching) 94's.

I leave the knife, gun and hunting magazines in the bathroom. My wife and daughter both know a little on these topics. The first time I heard my daughter say "binocular" brought a huge smile to my face.
 
This is the pea shooter she picked out:

Sometimes I wonder if she's wired right. I mean honestly, what kind of woman carries a Spyderco Dragonfly AND a Blackie Collins Camillus razor knife every day? :confused:
 
Now I call that a fantasy, unless you can post a pic of her holding the knife and magazine. Otherwise a girlfriend but not a wife. You are just going to have to prove that story...
 
I recently took the missus to a favorite haunt of mine. She, like some of you, knew that meant something other than a pub (my fondness of which I don't apologize for !). While we were there, she (seriously!) advocated building a squatter's cabin ! We've been a pair for 15 years and she still surprises me.

Kinda like when your missus first took to the bikes I bet ?...




BTW Darby, what's a "stimulus check" ?
