My wife has mostly looked upon my facination with knives and flashlights and stuff as one of my boy obsessions and hasn't really had a lot of interest in it herself. I have bought her a couple little pink knives (Spyderco Jester and Case Bubba Gum Tiny Texas Toothpick) and a couple lights of her own (Surefire G2Z Yellow and Inova X5T) but she never seemed all that interested until lately. In the last couple months she seems to be carrying her G2 and her Jester in her purse all the time and has even whipped out the Surefire to show off a couple times when we were visiting other folks.
Then the other night she asked what knife I was carrying and I showed her my Benchmade 941D2CF and she started talking about how cool it was and how much she liked the Axis lock as it was easier to use than her Jester's lock back. Now this afternoon we were sitting in my office and she noticed my 2004 Surfire catalogue and rolls her eyes back and gives me one of those looks and says, "don't you have enough flashlights already?". But she picks it up and starts browsing through it. When she gets to the E2D and reads the bit about how useful they can be as a self defense weapon, she perks up and says, "That's cool, I'd carry one of those, how much are they?". I told her and she didn't blink an eye as she'd bought me the L4 that was on my Christmas list so she already had an idea about the price of admission. I asked her twice if she was serious and she seems dead serious.
On the one hand, these developments make me happy as you might imagine, but on the other hand I'm starting to think this might get really expensive if she starts to really get into this stuff.
So do they make a Pink Griptilian and who's got the best deal on E2Ds?
