Wifeys Knifeyz. ?

Does GF count??? Well she acts like a wife anyway. I have bought her a Xicar I dont know the model # but she really likes it, the italian made version and its been a great knife for her. I have bought her a spyderco Native but she never carries it. I also purchased a Mike Franklin neck knife with the pearl slab handle and the gator skin slide sheath. She LOVES that. I have planned for her a DDR twisted balisong when taxes come...shhh its a suprise.
 
Just a practical SAK that my gf keeps in her purse. She uses the scissors, nail file, tweezers and toothpick more than the blade, but shes got it if she needs it.
 
When I got my Kershaw Spec Bump, my wife got my Kershaw Blackout handed down to her. If she likes carrying a knife all the time, I think I've got her convinced that a Leek is much more feminine and "sheeple friendly".
 
She has a Blackout that she's carried for years but as of late she carries a Chive. She's got a SAK in her desk drawer and a sowbelly stockman in her purse. She's taken over the old Case bowie that my Grandpa left me and she says she wants an HI Kumar Kobra. Is that cool, or what?

My (now ex-)wife has a real mean attitude about knives but didn't have any good ones except kitchen stuff, so she asked me to pick her up something convenient. I got her a boot knife. She was delighted.

Later I came across a sort of fantasy knife: a skinner with a horn tip handle, massive brass bolster, and a "flint steel" blade -- simulated chipped flint pattern on the blade. Fringes on the soft leather sheath. She was REALLY delighted.

Then she asked me for something lightweight she could carry. She liked my Marttiini filet knife, but the 9" blade was too much for her purse, so I got her the 6". She taped the sheath inside the purse.

I don't know what she needs all these knives for. When a guy bothered her on the subway she stabbed him through the arm to the bone ... with her scissors.

I certainly hope, for your health, that it was an amicable divorce. :o


(For the record, my wife carries a Wenger SAK with a locking main blade that was some kind of Eddie Bauer edition. She had it before we met 11 years ago!)
 
Oh, I got her the last two after we broke up. Still friends.

Is your wife's Wenger the large, every tool in the world model? I got one of those at an Eddie Bauer store in NYC and I keep it right here as my desk knife. Nice discount, too, as I recall.
 
I bought my wife a Leatherman Wave. She loves to tell the story.

She had been in Japan for a few months, visiting relative. I got a job in northern Ontario. When she came back, I met her in Thunder Bay. I bought her a Canada Goose Resolute parks, a pair of Baffin boots (rated to -74C), North Face snow pants, and other miscellaneous cold weather items. Back at our hotel room, I gave her two gifts, a Streamlight Twin-Task, and the Leatherman Wave. She was a little worried...
 
Momma's got a little SAK in her purse, but I'm trying to get her to see the "value" of a Cricket.
 
My wife got a few from me. A William Henry T-10 Gold Nugget for dress up and date nights, a few Kershaw speed safes which she alternates hip carry on the belt line and a Case Copperlock for the purse.

She claims to be eager to open things at work when there is a bunch of guys standing around looking at a box with a dumb look on their face and some one "says do we have a box cutter?" Reaches to her waist breaks out the Kershaw... blip de blip de blamo... open box.

Says the guys don't even think about "harassing her" since.
 
Don't have a wife, but I have a girl, and now she has a few knives.
Over the years I've given her a Vic Excelsior, then a Bark River Mikro, and then two Okapi folders (she went to South Africa to teach for a month, and appreciated that these were made there).
 
My wife forcefully "adopted" my eBay-special Buck Rush as soon as it arrived in the mail. She's had it ever since.
 
My wife is a school teacher so I'm afraid to give her a knife that may accidentally find its way into work with her and get her in trouble.
 
Over the years, I've given Sarah a Benchmade Panther, a BM 720, a Kershaw Wild Wild Turkey variant, and most recently a 154CM BM Benchmite so that she could have a quality EDC piece for her Federal office. And when she's going to do fieldwork, she'll come to me and say I need a knife that will do this and take so much abuse under such and such conditions, and I kit her out.

And I've made her a couple damascus pieces for our historical reenactments.

She grew up working at her folks fishermans marina. She knows what a good knife is.:)
 
She has two "L" knives.

Ladybug (Spyderco) on her keychain.

Leatherman in her car.

This doesn't include all the various kitchen cutlery.
 
My wife has a SAK Spartan with black handle in her purse and an AG Russell Ultimate Pen Knife on her keychain. She loves the UPK, very tiny and very sharp.

It is about the size of my Deluxe Tinker and still in that basic form factor; not the OHT type of locking SAK. She is actually attached to it. I got a good deal on a couple of deluxe tinkers and asked if she want one of those for purse carry instead - she looked at it. Pulled out her Wenger; smiled and declined. :o
