Let's be together in this! Help a forumite in needs!

Cobalt & Mrs. Cobalt:

Congrats on your upcoming 2nd. If it's anything like with our 2nd, your workload would increase astrominically!!! Enjoy the calm before the storm.

Cobalt, save up to buy something special to commemorate the birth of your new one. I don't believe Mrs. would object. Better yet, name your baby after a knife: Axis, Battle Mistress, Calypso, Carnivor, Cetan, . . . Nemesis, Nimravus, . . . Sebenza, Tempest, Trident, all are beautiful (?) names for your child.

Congrats Mrs Cobalt on your upcoming baby and you do make a lot of sense with what you're saying......it's just so hard not to get a knife when you see the one that can complete the collection.

I wish you all the best!

PS just don't take away Cobalt's Blade Forums pass, we need him here!
 
Oh, shucks. She's already "onto" the forum. I suggested passwording and reprofiling on the other thread. Too late now for that. Just be thankful you found a girl that knows you inside-out and is still willing to put up with you, Cobalt. Sounds like you lucked out. Remember it's up to you to keep her thinking that she's the one who got the better end of the deal, Cobalt. This will pass, like a gallstone, eventually. Go back and get to really know the ones ( knives ) you already got and appreciate them. I got into knives because I got tired of getting all excited over a new gun only to remember I already had one or two stashed. Bummer. Hang in there brother!
 
SJC, why didn't I think of that? We were going to name our first "Sean" (my family is very Irish and we already have 4 "Johns.") if it's a boy, but "Nemesis" sounds so much cooler. Nimravus would probably get him teased, though. For a girl, "Tempest" is good, but "Battle Mistress?" That's too cool to pass up. If the wife complains tell her you'll call the kid Missy for short.
 
Actually, Gwinny, it sounds like Cobalt already has a mistress he is too smart to battle with!
 
Mike Turber got it right !!!!!!!!

The only way I could make my wife cool down is that I became some kind of a dealer and sell knives to close friends and their friends. Last night I came home and told her " I just made $130 in 1 hour - isn't it nice ?" (it was true BTW) - that made her shut up for few days..........

You don't have to do it full time, after working hours - it is good to combine this passion for knives with making some money. Establish a good relationship/friendship with a Dealer/Importer and after you buy lots of knives from him (which I am sure you all already did) he will give you better prices, then sell those knives to your friends and keep the change - that's the whole story....

Take care
 
I am going thru the same problem.The wife is out for my knives.Little by little the tension builds as another knife finds it's way into a new home.I am almost at the point were i am going to have a bible before me with a document to sign.
I don't know what to do!

Cobalt,

U da man. Not many guys have what you have: a lot of knives, a kid (and one more on the way-congratulations!), and an understanding wife.

Someday, I'd like to be just like you. And I'm not even kidding. God bless you, your wife, and your kids. And God bless America.

I just love you guys.I went to HI and got "The charge of the Lght Brigade" I come here and get King Henry`s speech before the battle of Agincourt.Lay on MacDuff!

Win, thank's and you're right, I'm very lucky.

Thanks to everyone else. Who knows if the baby is a girl maybe I will call her Battle Mistress, hehe. A Boy, Carnivor, hmm, somehow I don't think either name would fly with wife or mom.

Also, God Bless this country for allowing us the rights we have. I watch the TV and all the attrocities commited to people in their own countries, and I only wish they could all live like we do.
 
Once hearing both sides of the story...

Congrats on the upcomming child!

Life is like a box of knives...


 
Sometimes we win sometines we loose. My wife thinks that I am crazy for spending all of my spare time in the shop making knives, but I told her that knives are my misterss and she decided that was better than having a misterss of another type. She still thinks I'm crazy, but she tolerates me. Guess I am one of the lucky ones that has a wife that understands that we need our Man Toys.And who knows, someday I may even make a profit.

ps: I do have to take time out to remodel a bathroom, but she gave me a reprieve until my next knife show is over. Aint she an understanding wife!
