Ive given my wife a few knives over the years. Off the top of my head I can remember a khukuri, a Cold Steel Voyager, a SAK in addition to a few others Ive forgotten. She hasnt carried any of them, as she never saw the need.
Last night she told me that she is going to start eating a more healthy diet, more fruits and vegetables. She wants to try and eat a piece of fruit with lunch every day. The problem is that they dont have any knives at work. I told her I had just the knife she needed. After a minute or two of rummaging through my secret stash I pulled out a French Laguiole. At 4.5 closed its big enough to use on any fruit smaller than a watermelon. After opening it up I handed it to her. Her eyes lit up. She hefted it and tested the edge with her thumb. Its perfect! she said, just before she put it in her purse.
I was a little surprised by this new development. Shes commented in the past about how big some of my knives are. But when it came down to it, the knife she chose for herself was one of my biggest slipjoints. Im not complaining though, at least now she understands the utility of having a knife around.
