this guy just had a beer or two too many, and ordered a bk5 without clearing it with his wife first.
the last time this happened, it was a bk4. I sweat bullets for a while, till they told me the website was wrong and they had none in stock. and couldn't get any more, since they were discontinued.
instead, they gave me a 10% discount on my next order. and instead of learning from my mistakes, I did it again. though I ordered her a little something too. maybe that'll help, but I think I might be in the dog house for a wee bit.

Yikes! Maybe it will work out if you admit that you did it... I agree with cbwoods though—at least you will have a new knife.
 
I really think I'm at the point that I have more knives than she can keep up with. Since I get the mail before she gets home, she never knows if it's new or not. I even think the kids know not to snitch on me!
 
Just tell her its THE BK 5 which has been discontinued and youll never have a chance to get another one. That it will probably go up in value and it was designed by jerry fisk and ethan becker (who is in The Joy of Cooking), i’m sure she’ll understand!
 
the wife's pretty good about shoes and boots to be honest. she does have all kinds of oil and wax warmers though. since when does a house need to smell like it's not a house? make some damn lasagna or cabbage rolls if you want the house to smell nice! that's what I say.
...but all in all I have it pretty good. I might have to hand over my beer money for a while. and I got the wife a shewee for her birthday next month. when we're camping this year and she doesn't have to hike half a click to the bathroom in the middle of the night i'll remind her it was all thanks to my financial irresponsibility.
and the kid knows enough not to snitch on daddy, or we don't get to go for pizza and poutine and ice cream for lunch.

both of these are very wise statements!
the closest we get to non-house type smells here is when SWMBO is making soap, lip balm, or lotion in the basement -- all those warm essential oils can make it interesting for a while.
 
The 5 is a formidable food prep knife also. Does she do most of the cooking ? If so, get in the kitchen with her and do some kitchen work with your new 5 and she will forgive quicker.
Worked with my 15 !
 
Let the dog stay in the house and then its the Dog House so no need to sleep in the little house.
 
"hey honey, let's thin out your shoes and bags, how many do you need anyway?"

The 5 and the 15 are communal knives - working well in the kitchen. In fact, seeing as you bought the two of you a BK-5, go out and get yourself a BK2 or BK9!!
 
Ahhh the relaxing smell of Hoppe's #9 and Lavender. We all have our essential oils and solvents lol
