Cold Steel Wife totally dumbfounds me with knife request !

[DocJD]

My wife of 42 some years can still shock and awe me . She's not a knife person except in the kitchen . There she handles fixed blades like a ninja . But I've never been able to interest her in carrying or using a folder . Not interested in any fixed/ sheath knife either .

I tried basically everything for many years with zero luck .

So recently she asks if she can have the "one hanging up by it's ring " (by the sink in my shop) .

This :



She says she "likes the ring " !

I don't believe she'll actually carry it much , but she has it on her desk / work table now .

It's a start .

Lol nice! Thats quite a choice for the first one! That would be quite a thing going from not carrying a knife to carrying that CS. More power to her!!!!!

Amazing isn't it? After 34 years of toleration mine finally asked if she could have one to put in her car. Congratulations ! It's a start.

 

[DocJD]

toleration

Exactly the right word for my girl's attitude toward my hobbies !

 

[DangerZone98]

Made me lol Doc, haha. Tell her to check out Doug Marcaida’s videos on YouTube.

 

[Angus McGunnigle]

That is a heckuva beginning !

Congrats!

My wife has a purple SAK classic in her purse. It was on her key chain but the key chain was getting too much stuff on it. The classic and flashlight are now in her purse. She has never shown interest in anything else. I know she uses the scissors more then the knife.

She does have a CPL tho and carries when legal.

The Espada XL is surely the next logical purchase.

The Espada XL is surely the next logical purchase.

We'd have to hire somebody to carry it for us or get a pack mule !

You better be good to her or you might end up being supper instead of eating it! My Dragon Lady is more a SAK fan, one in her car and a little one in her purse.

My wife just Says......:“I need your knife”. Or “cut this”.

Congrats! My wife did that when I brought home a Kimber Custom Shop Pro Raptor

There are some people who start with a Alox Cadet and there are some who start with a Cold Steel karambit.

There haven't been any changes to your life insurance policy, have there?

So what I hear you saying is that she's a keeper.

Watch your back. That ain’t no fruit cutting knife

My first birthday present to my wife was a Spyderco Dragonfly and she loved it. Now she has several knives. We were in a knife store where nothing got my attention, but she picked up an old Hammer Brand jack knife for herself.

One day last Fall, my wife decided that the SAK on her keychain just wasn’t cutting it, and she needed a bigger knife. We did some online shopping and she picked out a Delica. A few months later we were at the BX and she stumbled upon a Benchmade Mini-freek that she just had to have. Now she has four pretty decent knives, including a custom Medford Dress Marauder that I recently gave her for our anniversary.

The funny thing is, she surprised me last week with a knife as well - a large Sebenza!

..... I beg to differ!

 

[CSG]

Hell, I can't even convince my wife of 42 years to carry even a little SAK Classic in her purse. That said, I would not want her carrying the knife in the OP's post! Might not get to 43 years...

After I cut the ring off mine, I use it for fruit all the time. Unless we are talking about different "fruit" that no man likes to think about losing.....
