The GF/wife/mom/bestfriend -proof list of “why that idiot got another knife”

Skar said:
I said this is the last one about 5 knives ago ( Scowl ).
My wife doesn't mind to much, considering I have more than I could use in 20 life times.

My excuses:
This is the last one !!
Well... This one's really hard to find and this is only offered one time !

It's not crack... technically.

Wife: "Do you know how many times you have told me this will be the last knife"?!
 
I got one, when I say that the new one is bound to become one of my favorites!! My daughter used to remind me when I was playing with a few of my knives that I say that about all of them.

Then I remember I obtained the new knife for the exact same reasons I bought a few of the older ones.

1. It’s a useful tool that’ll last for a long time.
2. Not the same knife. It’s in M390 now.
3. Not the same knife. It comes with Micarta now.
4. Not the same knife. It’s got an awesome hollow grind now!
5. Got this one as a backup to my backup to my backup.
6. It’s a sprint run. You know how fast these things sell out?
7. I’ll give it to a buddy. Eventually. Someday. Maybe.
8. This one’s for kitchen work. Mostly.
9. I didn’t have a dedicated chopper until now.
10. I always wanted to try a pocketable fixed blade.
11. Did you know ESEE’s got a great warranty?
12. Our kids’ grandkids will inherit this.
13. It’s the Spyderco Military in a compression lock. We’ve been waiting since forever.
14. It’ll look great with the other knives.

Keep adding to the list. This thread’s just for fun. :D

Sorry, bro.

Happily married. We both respect each other's discretionary spending and don't make the other person feel uncomfortable for spending their own money. Your situation may be different

My wife isn’t THAT bad... but we separated our bank accounts and credit cards last year and it made things a lot easier. Though she certainly wasn’t crazy about my... addiction... Now she can only guess how much the new fix costs. Lol
 
"I am not comfortable cutting food, with my other one, now that I stabbed someone with it"

Questions stop :D I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Seriously though - my wife is an odd one. I will never hear a word about buying new knives or guns, as often as I want. However, God forbid I spend ANY money CUSTOMIZING a gun or knife, I do and it is on! Go figure. And NO, this does not mean I have a pile of bone stock guns and knives, I have modded gear, I'm not skeerd to "go to the mat" over some fiber optic sights, custom grips, etc.

I spent over a year working in a female prison. I've listened to women's crap, full time, my wife is out gunned LOL
 
If the person complaining or questioning the purchases is the one paying the bills or actually supporting you, then they have the right to question what you are spending money on.

Be responsible out there, or you’ll end up living in a cardboard box under a bridge.

If the financial commitments are being met and it’s a control or jealousy thing then straighten the situation out.

Point being figure out why they are concerned and fix the route of the problem.

Every situation is different. But don’t assume everyone has to hide their purchases from their significant other.

The running joke is “I hope my wife doesn’t sell my guns and knives for what she thinks I paid for them”.

Last week I read about a Barkie (don't recall the model, somehting like a UP or some other) picked up at a garage sale for 20 bucks.
The joke followed that another post would appear when the dude found out his wife sold his 300 dollar knife for such a pittance!
