Since the final thrust of feminism - the 60's women's rights advocacy and the bra-burning movement, (there have been others but this turned the worm), men have slowly been "handed their hats" so to speak. All you have to do is watch/read the material and have your brain turned on to know that it's true.

Look at the state that the OP has been reduced to, due to the sad state of affairs. Women are the weaker sex - they have been slowly indoctrinated to believe and behave otherwise.

Well, yes, in a manner of speaking, since, by default, I live with myself.

I've used and carried knives for ~50 years. I don't "flip my knives". I don't understand people who have an urge to incessantly do so. If my daughter were dating a young man who did, I'd not be happy.
 
I'm kind of a "binge" flipper. Maybe 2 or 3 times a day when I sit down to relax. I have a couple of flipper by design knives in the coffee table by my chair. I always seem to grab them and flip them a few times and admire them and then close the drawer. It's a small pleasure I allow myself. I don't think it makes me dicey or strange to admire my few uber cool flippers.

Same here. I don't flip though. I have a few MT OTFs on my coffee table.

I love the click.

I was on my third date with my now wife of 8 years and I asked her how she felt about guns in the house. She replied "Oh, we MUST have guns in the house..." That was it.

Now, I do not "collect" guns - but I do collect knives. My wife just thinks of it as reassuring. I think she gets a real kick out of me flipping / twirling a blade at inopertune times - I find it soothing. If it feels good - do it.:D

I've tried to explain that it is because I enjoy the science, beauty, and mechanics of my collection, plus it's good practice should I ever have to deploy a blade quickly. I even backed that up with a true story of when I was on active duty and a friend was being dragged by a line that had snared a toggle on his life vest and I was able to, without thinking open my knife and cut him loose.

This not withstanding, every time I flip a knife I am met with a look and words that suggest I'm a demented "nut" who sit's around playing with knives. At my age and at this point in life I don't plan to hide in the bathroom just to flip a knife.

Just wondering if I'm the only one who lives with someone who just doesn't understand?

By the way. She has no problems with my guns. Just the knives. I don't get it!

Women are often wary of knives because they can and can cause deformity which is one of the things that they are afraid of. Either that or she thinks that your head is not wired right. Just say that everyone has their hobbies and this is mine. Ask why women have more than one pair of earrings and more than one handbag? You can say that is a female sub-culture issue and this is mine. Plain and simple. Keep doing it. They will get used to it.
 
My wife plays around with my OTF's all the time.
 
i have same problem with most of the college kids i chill with.thank god my girl stopped with that.i gave her a kershaw chive rainbow and ta-da.she loves knives now.

You should explain to her that you like to have something to do with your hands, if she doesn't want you to play with your knives then she should come and sit on your lap and you'll keep your hands busy on her instead. If she accepts your logic and ignores your playing with knives - you win! If she takes up your offer and lets you play with her instead - you win!
 
:facepalm:

I should have caught that first :D
 
All the ffeedback has inspired me. I think the only solution is to find a new hobby. I think I will begin collecting cordless drill's. I can sit on the couch and intermittently pull the trigger, staring at the drill bit and watch it spin until the battery runs out. Perhaps after this me flipping a knife won't seem so bad..........................
 
Take up cigarette smoking! And use a Zippo!

Sounds to me like you've got it pretty good. Not only does my wife not approve of my knife flipping but add to that she thinks there is no reason to own more than one gun. And on a side note, she ironically comes up with more "legitimate" uses for my knives than I do. She's always in need of something being cut which I happily oblige by flipping out my knife... flamboyantly as possible of course.:D
