Knife Psychology... Are you being "profiled"?

[Primble]

Thanks for the impassioned plea to call me to my senses! Now, off to the exchange to add # 163!!!!!

Good call !
You could always tell your wife that every time you feel profiled, it causes you to want another knife.

Let's make 2024 the year of the fully self-actualized knife hoarder!

Who's with me??!!!

Yeeeeeeeooooowwwww!

That last line sounds like she actualized one of the hoarded knives on you. Hope it heals quickly.

Just make sure to label it a 'coping mechanism' so she understands it properly.

Thanks for the well wishes, but that was just my "Dean scream". I'm mostly fine - no injuries anyway...

This is why knives with coping blades are needed.

I'm certainly enjoying this thread with all the responses that make me smile.

Only smile, I keep getting asked what am I laughing at.

You and me both, Joe, though you're quite a bit further along than me. Yep, for sure. Shhhhh! Don't tell mine either. It's only my second order from Buck this month and I'm not counting the other orders. It's too scary!

My wife and I have been married for 63 years . In the first 40 years I bought 2 knives and still have them . I now have about 150 knives . That averages out to 2.38 knives per year . Tell your wife what your yearly average is and see if that blows her educated mind . Or maybe you should not do that . I don't know how long you have been married .

I'm over a third of that in less than three years. I think my average isn't so good. It might depend on how you look at it. I think I'll just keep quiet about that part. She might start projecting how many of her dream trips are coming up. Of course, we just got back from Maldives. The trip is over, but I still have my knives.

Always remember That.....

Two really cool members asked for an update. The porch is a great place to laugh and share an unusual, but fun, hobby! So 17 days later....

The psychiatrist wife has yet to present a convincing argument that proves my 'more than casual interest' in cutlery is destructive, demeaning, or damaging to the family. In fact, under oath , she as much admitted that hobbies like this have beneficial effects by reducing stress levels and warding off boredom and depression!

Since the original post, I "only" purchased 5 more knives over the last 17 days! One Buck 500 BOTM, a Case Swayback, and three GECs, including my first GEC fixed blade the H40. Also, glad to report that Wharncliffe (our Lab) is as happy as ever! Note his keen interest as he listens to both sides of the debate...
