Sneaking them in!

[Charlie Mike]

Some of you guys are real sick Might need to work a 4th step about it?

My old lady is doing the school thing which means the not working thing. She complains but it is MY money. She can appreciate a pretty knife though. She has a Buck/Hartsook on her keychain and use to EDC a UTx70 D/E. Lately I've been breaking it to her by posting a pic on myspace of what will soon be arriving.

Single bank account. I earn it. She spends it. Since she's the one doing the spending, it's easier if she keeps the books. We've tried having me keep the books, and its a harassment to us both. So she keeps them.

So hiding a purchase is not really possible. And from my point of view, not desirable, either.

I guess I got lucky and have a great wife who doesn't mind, as long as I don't over-indulge. Over the years (25 last year), I've gotten a lot of things that she didn't think were practical, that ended up being very handy later. So she cuts me some slack.

"But honey, I've ALWAYS had this. You mean you don't remember???"

once or twice a year i plan on buying a lot of knives or car modification parts. when i am about to do this, i open a po box and have everything shipped there.

That only worked for a little while.
NOW she knows each and every knife I have, and the names of practically every one of them.
I have a friend who is female who cannot tell the difference between most of them, but it IS more fun having my wife able to have a decent conversation about knives.:thumbup:

I made the mistake of showing the wife a picture of a 'Sebenza' that I wanted (along with the price)

Now every one of my knives is a 'Sebenza'

That's why you've got to show them the Sebenza, and it's price, and then rant about what a bargain you're getting when you buy a Native CF/4.

It's the old joke, "I showed her a Corvette and she let my buy my Mustang."

Or else I'll hear something like..

"So what else have you been hiding from me?"

That's not good.

Not only not good, potentially fatal.
