I've been practicing sharpening a lot. A LOT. lol. She's like OMG you just sharpened that one! lol I started over, I wasn't satisfied. Basically I have some arkansas stones and a bunch of sand paper adn random strips of leather spread all over the living room and a pile of junker knives.
 
My wife just rolls her eyes and gives a half laugh. Of course she appreciates having sharp kitchen knives at all times.
 
My girlfriend finds it interesting and wants me to make sure her Bm 556 is sharp all the time =P
 
My wife thinks I'm nuts, but she likes the sharp kitchen knives. She knows that she is equally nuts about other things, so she doesn't give me a bad time. She hardly even rolls her eyes anymore.
 
Interesting to see the difference between how Gf's and wives view the issue. My fiance doesn't much care although she knows how I feel about having the best of things. Why have a sharp knife when you could have a stupid sharp knife? I do all the cooking now, but when we were going to different universities she had me buy her a kai chefs knife and made me sharpen it every time we saw each other. We don't go out to dinner much anymore for a similar reason, why pay a bunch of money when i can make it better at home. Although she probably wouldn't mind if i was as fanatical at cleaning as I am about sharpening. My friends are all on the other side of the state and I don't drink alone so I've got to do something!
 
Takes a man with a good sense of self-restraint to drink alone (semi-responsibly) takes a bigger man to walk a pink toy tea cup poodle at 3 in the morning.

and no I don't have that much restraint in the former and I am definitely not that big in the latter case, but then I have the sharpest knives in town so go figure. Wife don't mind my sharpening at all. I can't drink and sharpen at any rate. Why spend money on booze when you can buy a new stone or diamond paste or ..... (the endless list).

When the wife was the girl friend she thought I was just a tad off centre for sharpening everything. Now she KNOWS I'm way off.

If your wife just thinks you're nuts you're still safe. When she KNOWS you're nuts you are basically hatched.
 
My wife is getting used to me sharpening all of the time but she still looks at me like I'm crazy when I cut myself (by accident) and smile (after swearing), telling her how sharp I got the knife.
