Ok Guy's Here is the Story !! Went to Work as Normal Grinding and Profiling Steel , Wood , Came Home that Evening Before i Could Shower the Wife came over to give a Hug , Said You have been working on Thuya and Kingswood Haven't You ?? I Paused thought about it Looked at the Knives i Worked on and i will Be Dammed if she was not Right !! I Think I Have Been working too much or Something !! Has this Ever Happened to Any of You ?? :confused: :confused:
 
Donna hasn't ever named the wood before.But she has made the comment that I was working on stag-Bone-or Ivory and that I needed to change clothes and take a shower as it stunk:D
And she can always tell if I have been forging.
Man they act like they don't want anything to do with the shop at times,but they sure know more about it than they make you think sometimes.Heck Donna can see a mistake in a heart beat and I usually have mssed what she see's.
Gotta love the Women ;)

Mammoth ivory! The missus can't stand the stink, even after showering, I gotta put my clothes in the wash. & no snuggling up that night:eek:
 
Mine will ask what the hell sinks out here.
My answer is all ways, What does something stink?
 
Mine can tell wether I've been grinding steel as opposed to forging it. Not bad, not bad at all. Especially since she wants nothing to do with it all. :p
 
Got my Blade magazine in the mail today and for the first time, my wife grabs it before I can put it down (has the Lord of the Rings swords inside and we just saw the movie so I didn't think too much of it, but was still surprised).

"Hey! What got into you all the sudden?"

Her response=>"Wha....?" (already deep into it)

After reading awhile and then realizing we were only halfway through lunch she proceeds to let me know she has read every Blade magazine I've got and has even read all the way through the Knifemaking books I have on the shelf...:eek: :eek:...yikes!

"Next thing you know, you'll be coming home from work one day and I'll be outside behind the belt getting down to business..."

What have I got myself into?
 
Wow, theres still hope for me then, I might actually find her someday!! Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :D
 
The Kudu smells like doo doo. We have "cooked" it in sand so it would soften up before it goes into the vise to flatten it out and oh GAWD the smell from hell, now we deep fat fry it at 350 degrees before it goes in the vise and mucho better on the nose. Anything compared to that is not so bad. :D Cavelady
 
My wife has leafed through the magazines from time to time. She was also the one who recognized the kukris on a table, all the way across the lobby of the Army Museum here in New Zealand. They were being sold by some Ghurkas who were visiting and doing some joint training with the NZ military. We have stayed up quite late discussing ideas for knives that I could make, many for her. In fact I've just got a bit more finishing work to do on number 2, which is for her, of course.

Better be careful, L6. If you get one like mine, you won't have anything left to sell. She will appropriate them all :( Hey, it's OK as long as it keeps her happy 'cause she'll keep you happy ;)
