I see the threads, like the current 'Knife for the wife...' and I always wonder... is it a bad trade - or does the wife need a knife? No matter, I have another take - a bit of semantics. My wife buys me knives!

A case in point. Last week, I had my troubles. Numerous odd occurences - topped by my stepping on a rock in my steep driveway as I went to check the mail (Bills!). I twisted my knee - and went down hard, causing me to take miniature and guarded steps to/from the mailbox. The sprinkles immediately turned into a deluge, of course. Hobbled, the next day was miserable.

My wife came home - hugged me - said how sorry she was - and asked if she could give me a hug. I stood up, never missing such an opportunity, and found a blue box sticking out of her back pocket - containing a new goodie:

First one of the year from her. Birthday and Christmas last year were great. The salesman at my pusher told me, when I went looking for my next 'drool' item yesterday, that she described it as a 'Black B-M with an ugly white butterfly...'. Keeper - both of them.

I guess the message is simple - take your significant other to the knife/gun store - show them what you regularly go there to drool over. Sure, it may mean you get to spend time in a sewing notions or women's clothes store, but you may rack up, too.

PS That's an old stock new knife - and she most likely got a great price... they like her at the gun/knife emporium.

PPS Tried to be cute with the title... instead, it looks dumb!
 
Great post, knife and wife! She is a keeper. It really makes one appreciate the little things one shares with ones better half.
 
Thats a relationship thats built to last. If you and your spouse share each others interests then thats just one mor ebond to keep you together. :thumbup:
 
Stainz, it so cool when your spouse (in this case wife) understands, or at least tries to understand, what makes you tick. This knife passion thing can sometimes be hard to justify! Hope you heal up fast. (love that knife:thumbup:)
 
Wow! now that's love!

Hi Stainz -

That is really cool!

Good idea about taking her to the store to look - but I don't have too many good options in my area, so most of my buying is done via the internet.

Unfortunately, my wife has some sort of block about getting on the computer, and as such she has never personally bought me a knife (or gun for that matter).

I have taken her to my favorite gun shop a couple of times though.

She did tell me that she went to Gander Mt. to check out knives and could not find any that she thought I would like.

She is a wonderful lady, but I don't hold hopes of getting anything like that nice BM out of the "blue" so to speak.

She does not squawk when I buy them for myself, however, so that is 90% of the battle right there!

best regards -

That's never gonna happen to me. :) I love my wife, but she has no interest in knives. At least she doesn't stop me from getting more.
 
Awesome! While my wife doesn't share my edged enthusiasm she will buy me a knife on occasion when I give her an exact link to it!
 
My wife says she will never buy me a knife or gun because she would be afraid of getting the wrong one. :(

But same thing here, the closest large gun shop is 130 miles away. The close ones are very small and very hit and miss. I'm not even sure anyone that close has any decent knives. Sigh...

Nice One Stainz, the 720's are great blades and your woman is def a keeper in my book! :thumbup:
 
Love it!

My wife is a cool one too. She actually sits there and listens to me drone on about all sorts of knife-related talk. She once admitted that she hears the sounds of Charlie Brown's teacher/parents when I do this, but she entertains my enthusiasm anyway.

The other day I was really tired and was laying in bed watching TV with my knife clipped in my pocket and I fell asleep (I do not typically sleep with a knife). She rolled over and gave me a hug and felt the knife and got a big smile....(not what you are thinking)...she was happy to feel I was carrying the knife she got for our anniversary.
 
She got you a 720?!!

Keep her, I've got the same model nestled in my pocket, you have great taste ;D
 
Thats sort of the same way I got my BM-10100SBP, (Cept I didnt get hurt, just had a really p*ssed off day at work)
 
Thanks for that inspiring post, Stainz, and the others as well. It always does my heart good to hear of couples in good relationships. My wife and I have been together for over 20 years, been through hell and back and still love and respect each other. She doesn't buy me knives, but she doesn't mind my affectation with them either.
