My wife supports my knife hobby. She has bought me many knives, or she has given me the money. I always ask her first before I buy a knife. She has her own collection of about 8 knives so far. She carries a gerber E-Z Out in her pocket and busse basic 5 and leatherman wave in her bag. Did I mention that I am lucky.
Well I can think of a time just three weeks ago when I was retiring to a strange girls apartment at 4am and my knife hobby almost cost me a GOOD TIME
Well we will keep it short, but after about 20 mins on the couch we moved to a larger platform. We are kissing by the side of the bed and she has her hands inside my rear pockets and I feel her grab the crawford leapord, and remove it. "Ummmm Joe what is this" "Well you see... I collect knives. Don't worry Liz, it is just a hobby. I don't carry it around in hopes of stabbing someone. It is like a utility tool. Liz, you've seen my truck, you know that I am into fishing and stuff, knives come in handy."
We finished up proper, and the next morning I left WITH DIGITS, and they work LOL I am seeing her for the 5th time tommorow night so I guess it wasn't a deal-breaker.

P.s. When I mention the truck, I drive a Bronco. And this thing is filled with various Striped Bass lures, and always two rods in the truck during season, no matter who is in shotgun. The girls never seem to mind, I call all the stuff conversation pieces LOL. Happy Holidays.

To heck with the truck Jameson, let's see the chick! Just kidding..
My wife is somewhat uncomfortable about knives and is in the "why do you need another one" camp. But she puts up with it and takes a rather fatalistic attitude towards it. Now that I'm making folders she has shown a little more interest in it but she gets nervous about the type of people I'm associating with. I have told her numerous times about all the great folks on the forums but she still insists that you all are "weapon people" and she's not comfortable with it. Oh well. To be fair, she is a good critic of design and an excellent marketeer so when I'm finally ready to start selling, she'll be even a bigger asset than she is now.

My wife has no problem with my carrying/collecting weapons. From time to time she will carry a buck knife and I taught here how to shoot. The only problem I have is my son is now wanting high end knifes.

Just speculating, but do many women like claw knives? The only knife my wife ever even came close to liking was an Emerson LaGriffe. There was a thread once on what knives women carry and the LaGriffe was very popular. And there is the lady hawk of course. Cat fights, claws, gotta be something........

Magician,
As a woman, I can answer your question from my point of view. I prefer a nice drop point, and don't have any hawk-bill blades in my collection. Clip points are very nice also, such as the lovely blade of my Benchmade Ascent. I seem to be drawn to a slow down-curving slope, sorta like the quarter panels on my '72 Cutlass! I also love recurves, like the blade on my Kershaw Chive. Then there's the Wharncliffe blade on my P.E.C.K. So to sum it up, it seems I like everything BUT hawk-bills! 
Boy I was a big help huh?
