Poor Thing It Seems My Knife Addiction is Beginning To Effect Her

Reminds me of when I ordered a pizza from California Pizza Kitchen and was heading out to pick it up. Daughter asked where I was going and I replied "I'm going to pick up CPK for dinner". She ran upstairs and told my wife that I was leaving "to buy another CPK knife" o_O

You're right !
There are more important things than knives.
Sharpening stones for instance.
If I don't buy another knife I could buy another stone and still have enough left over to buy flowers.

Very wise advice. ;)
Thanks !

In my experience you were lucky to get, even remotely, what you ordered.
? BLT . . . black coffee . . . some shtuff ? Has some of the same letters.
 
I recently re-acquired an Umnumzaan, which I hadn't had in the collection for a couple years. I was sitting in my living room across from the wife, who is, shall we say... noise sensitive at 'princess and the pea' levels. I pulled it out and her eyes landed on me with the same level of pregnant meaning to which I've grown accustomed from her whenever knife-flipping is about to commence and disturb the serene quite that she craves like some sort of silence vampire.

I grinned and said, "You wanna see something cool?" I then flicked the knife open, with the ninja-like silence that the O-rings on the Umnum thumbstuds affords. Her eyes widened in delight. Making that that first and perhaps only time that my knife addiction has actually pleased her. I have marked the date on the calendar and plan to petition the government to make it a federal holiday.
 
When I first met my wife she had this little folding thing, in her purse, with her company's logo on it. Said it was all she needed.

Fast forward 20 yrs and next week she will receive her new custom 9" fighter.

Are you sure she isn't Borg ? Their moto, as you know, is "I will addapt".
Serioisly though that is an astounding story.

PS: GB940Rookie,
You said of my last reference to the 940-1 Osborne
You want one don't you ?

Ha,ha,ha, It seems you were right.
There is now one in my shirt pocket (it is so light).
Do you or any one else ever carry one ISP ( in shirt pocket )?

Pretty sure the Borg's motto is "you will be assimilated." :D

She's an astounding woman. Puts up with my ass. :D

Congrats on the -1. Superb, outstanding EDC. Shirt or coat pocket? Absolutely!

That got a laugh out of my little silence vampire ; good thing she wasn't sipping something at the time because part of it would have wound up on the monitor. :p

I did misspeak as far as the Borg collective they would have said "We" will adapt. Rather than "I".

Adapt is what they DO
Half way through this scene

Even when removed from the collective
near end of scene

There are many other scenes where 7 of 9 speaks of adapting as the option to quitting or retreating. I could not find youtubes or quotes but I have the entire Voyager series and watched it all the way through many times and it is one of her most common responses in conversation on the topic of adverse environments and situations.

“You will adapt”

“We will adapt”

"I will adapt"
 
I bought a Gerber Stockman a few weeks ago and promised my knife it will be my last knife for the year. A few weeks later, I bought a Victorinox Hiker and she immediately reminded me of my promise; I retorted that a Victorinox is not a knife but a multitool.

When it comes to knives and tools, my credibility is ZERO already if you ask her :(

Next Gen > all IMO, Voyager doesn't count they just made up "I will adapt" out of nowhere. Also Picard says "I am Locutus of Borg" so they do refer to themselves as I sometimes.
 
My wife is not interested in knives or steels or any of the other geeky aspects of knives that fascinate us. She is however super spoiled by sharp kitchen knives and has high expectations there. She will tell me when the knives are no longer "tomato sharp" and that I need to sharpen them. I usually stay on top of it but she will let me know if I am slipping up. The same goes for her pink Native5LW.
