Okay, here it goes. To illustrate, my girlfriend of three years goes to tell me that she and two of her close friends asked her "what did you get your boyfriend for christmas(pertaining to me)." And so, today my girlfriend said she was embarrassed to tell them because it sounded like i was "A ninja or something." Responded and, she said "I bought him some knives," specifically nice $30 glock knife and a ka- bar tdi ankle knife!

What do you guys say, my girlfriend was really embarrassed. She even said, no more knives okay! I'm like F - no in my head, i will buy more and more they are useful pieces of metal!

Oh well, my girlfriend has liberal ideals. Against my ownership of firearms and knives. Whats your say ladies and gentleman, don't freight to share any similar stories. :confused::jerkit:
 
I can see where she is coming from. Relationships are all about compromise. If she doesn't want you getting as many knives as you usually do (lets face it, you won't ever completely stop ;)), then she should be willing to change something she does in order to please you.

Basically, just tell her how you honestly feel without being condescending or angry. You should also point out that unreasonable fear is just plain foolishness. And if it really becomes a sticking point, just buy all the knives you want with your own money. :thumbup:
 
At first, my girl was impressed by a couple of my knives. Then she was freaked out when she realized how many I had. Now she doesn't really care. She's more annoyed I still spend money on toys. :D
 
Just skip the knives and ask for guns/ gun accessories.
(Say's the guy who's never been in a serious relationship...)
 
Mywife is a old farm girl. She has butchered animals that she had to kill first. She fully understands what guns and knives are for. She even knows that different knives do different jobs better, as do guns. This said, she doesn't understand why one would need five big choppers, ten fillet knives, ten EDC size knives and so on.

We have been married for 42 years, neither of us are going to change much anymore. I take what room I need and make sure to allow her to do the same. Just talk it out and try to see both sides of the story.

This cracked me up. Very common conundrum. Keep buying and playing with blades of all sorts. Use them around her. DESENSITIZE. That is the key. DESENSITIZE. Keep them laying around, fondle them, clean them, talk about them to her. She'll be jealous at first until she realizes they pose no threat to her station in your life. Once she's DESENSITIZED you should buy her a special knife to fold her into your sickness in totality. Then, you can ask for her hand in marriage; co-conspirator that she will have become, she will accept. This advice is free.
 
You gotta lay low, bro. She may suspect you are a ninja but you can't give her any more proof. Plausible deniability. If she ever learns you are actually a ninja you may be forced to silence her to protect your covert status.
Go dark, ASAP!:thumbup:

You are aware that liberalism is a mental disorder, right? :D

You choose to be with someone who hates your interests and freedom? Sounds like she may have voted for King Hussein.

Get rid of her, you can find better.

My girlfriend once asked; "What's more important, me or guns and knives?". She didn't like the answer I gave her.

You can replace some girl, you can't replace your dignity or a quality knife and gun collection.
 
Its funny how liberal liberals are, except when it comes to owner ship of guns and knives... You could give her cheap pink SAK classic. It has nail file, small scissors and small blade. That is way I got my gf hooked on knives.
 
If your girl was embarrassed for buying you knives for christmass ask her not to do it anymore.
Christmas presents are somehow social thing, and it is good to buy something everybody would understand.

I buy my knives by myself, its my thing.
 
She bought you knives, that is a good thing. Who cares if she likes it, she obviously loves you.
 
Don't know what she ment by your quoting her as saying no more knives. If she ment, she did not want to buy you more knives...hey that's cool, her perogative. If she was saying that "you" may not buy more knives for yourself....you got big problems. I see this all the time with guys. If a woman can just make demands, or hold you to a different standard and force her will, it is a symptom of a lack of respect for you. I am not saying this is what she did as I could not tell from the context of your quote, but if she is going to excert authority over you now your toast, it aint getting any better. In a classic Seinfeld show they called it hand. You have to have the hand, and keep it. If you start without it, you can't figure ever getting it back.

I have seen this many times, even talked to a fella about it the day before yesterday. Women telling men they can't hunt, or they can't go do something and the woman goes and does the same thing. The guy goes and lays in the corner like a good dog. In his heart he is ticked, but he puts up no resistance. There just in no respect for the man, and that respect should be earned, but without it....I don't see happiness in the fellas who fail to have it and the "hand" that goes with it.

Good luck!

Suggest that on the next gift-giving holiday the two of you exchange a small, sweet, romantic gift (something inexpensive but thoughtful - chicks really dig that sort of thing) and a gift card to each of your favorite stores. She can give you a gift card to one of your favorite knife sources (call it a "sporting goods store," and you can give her a gift card for the ACLU book store, or whatever floats her boat. Then, when her girlfriends ask her what she got for you, she can just refer to the sweet little romantic trinket, without mentioning the evil gift card. Her girlfriends will think that it is adorable, and you will be in the clear to stock up on the cutlery!

Oh yeah, I also like thegamppa's idea of buying her a pink SAK or other small girly knife. Don't wait for a holiday; just give it to her out of the blue and tell her that you bought it for her on a whim because you think about her so often every day when the two of you are apart. Once knifeophobes start carrying a small trinket knife from a loved one, they often wonder how they ever got along without one, and start hankering for a slightly more functional blade. Think of the pink SAK as your first step in a fiendish plot to seduce her to the dark side. Bwaaaaaha-ha-ha-ha!

My wife hates my knives. I think she's jealous of them. She bought me a nice Benchmade for Christmas about 10 years ago, but since then she's refused. I don't know what her deal is. I have no problem with the stupid stuff she's interested in.

Nowadays if she nags me about how many knives I have, I just tell her to shut up and go cook me something. ;)
 
My wife isnt to much into knives she does howver like and own her own gun a SA XD subcompact , but as far as what i get she has no problem with like me with her its our money we put it together but if theres something one wants and we have the money we have no problem spending it .
 
Every woman I have ever known has had difficulty understanding a man's interest in gadgetry, be it watches, bikes, guns, knives, phones, cars, pens, whatever. They don't and usually won't get it.

So, we lives with them as best we can.

My wife has no fear of knives, but everytime I buy one she gets pissed and goes on about how I didn't need another knife.

Need??

I don't rag on her because she didn't really need another pair of shoes.

Men are just so much easier to get along with :D

Kevin

PS I love her dearly.
Have a Merry Christmas.
 
My wife doesn't understand, but she also doesn't buy them for me and never will, and I'm ok with that. I prefer to do my own research and buy or trade what I like. I keep them in a tool box in the closet and she is fine with that. She has a small Wenger and an LM Micra she carries, but now she wants one of the Benchmade pens.
