What does your wives think of your knife collection does she complain about your spending to much money on silly things like
knives, and tell you that you can only use one at a time, you know we all have a collection of some sort, but if it not their interest
then it does not make sense to them, on the other hand take a look in their closet and look at most of their the collection on shoes
and purses which they can only wear one pair of shoes or carry one purse at a time, Don't make sence to me, the way I look at
things a different purse or pair of shoes for different occasion, so we have a different knives for different occasions.

My wife is a knife nut too. Her daily carry is a Kershaw Hawk in G-10. She checks out everything I get with as much zeal as any knifenut. If something is a real good deal she often encourages me to get it. But at the same time she raises hell if she thinks I'm spending too much and suggests I trade for a while. She sure has been doing a lot of suggesting lately....

My wife likes knives and doesn't complain about me buying them (unless they are realy expensive), so I have no intention counting how many paires she got.

Quoth my wife: At least my shoes serve a purpose, you don't ever "use" your knives, all you do is play with them.
But then whenever she needs something cut who does she come to....But they are still just "toys" to her.

My wife is actually glad I've found a hobby to spend some money on -- of course, I haven't graduated to customs yet, so that may change. She isn't interested in knives, but does ask what's new or different about my latest purchase, and does have fun pointing them out in movies (particularly if it's something recognizable like a Spydie). Absolutely doesn't understand why I need to carry one around the house, "when there are so many lying about."

I am very careful to avoid the topic of money and knives and how much they cost and she does not ask.
I do not tell her how to spend money and she does not ask how much I spend, but if she were to find out I am sure she would try and have me committed.

 
I have a great wife I hunt hard in bow and gun season we have a 5 week bow season and a 3 week gun season. I hunted 40 days last year out of a 56 day season,(love that fire dept. work shift)she never said a word. Same with knives oh maybe I get a "you got another package today I guess its another black knife huh" she does't care, I do the cooking , cleaning,shopping and spend more time with my kids then most men, I don't hang out in bars and I don't tell her what to spend her money on and I get the same in return.

Too many knives? no such thing
 
Doesn't really know how many or what, don't tell her how many or what. It's like the old story about how deer(4 legged variety) can't count. They see three hunters enter a wood and two leave and they think its OK to go in the wood. Women are like that, they really can't count the number of gun's or knives you have, unless you can't pay the bills or they are paying the bill's. Cars are more difficult difficult because of the inherent size of the object unless they are matchbox cars!
 
budrichard has the right idea!.

Find a wife who doesn't know how to count....At least not past 5 or 6.

(After 30 knives, MY wife gave-up trying to count my NEW knife purchases!).

I make more than buy, although not much cheaper because I sell very few yet. I don't compare knives to shoes, I think they compare to jewelry.
I consider knives "mens jewelry".
She don't argue with that.
I also keep her at bay by telling her how much money I will make by selling the knives I make. That will probly work for at least 10 more years. I just need to sell one once in a while.

John and I are in the same situation. As long as I sell one now and then, I'm usually ok. My wife has been surprizingly supportive of this insane hobby. When she gets sick of me, she just asks "Have you finished that knife for so-and-so yet? Isn't it time you worked on it?"
She doesn't worry too much about how much I spend on knives now, but the TOOLS tend to bother her. "What's an autohammer? Is it expensive?"

well... I never hear a complaint, even when ordering multiple Busse, Reeves, spydie, or benchmades etc... I never have to get the mail first,I never have to bribe the ups guy. I never get a complaint about knives everywhere. I never worry about having tooo many, oh I forgot, I don't have a wife

but then again it gets cold some nights around here.....
 
I am not so concerned about what my wife thinks of my knives as I am about what my knives think of my wife.

They are starting to talk in hushed whispers when she's around. Not a good sign, not good at all.
 
My wife thinks I'm strange because I have to have at least one with me at all times. She thinks it's really weird I have to have one within arm's reach while sleeping. I was thinking of getting a small neck knife so I could wear it to bed, she'll probably have me committed.

I only have 3 SAKs, a Leatherman sideclip, and two folders, and she thinks that's way too many knives.

She really doesn't care much except for the fact that i'm always "flicking" open whichever folder i happen to have in my hand.On that point she thinks i'm nuts

bu then again,what do i know???
 
I used to have alot of problems. Everytime I got a new knife she got really upset. Now everything is peachy...I got my own credit card in my name and have all my new purchases shipped directly to work. I know this is not something to be proud of but a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.....

I may not be a rocket scientist, but I like knives...
