Hey you guys, thought I'd take a quick survey. How does your wife feel about you and all of your knives?

She feels fine about me! All my knives is a different story

Here is some good advice for married knife nuts: Buy your wife the faciest, most expensive knife you can afford ASAP! This may take a while to recover from but once you do, you will be able to buy yourself what ever you want!

Like the knives were her first signal that I'm mad as a hatter?

Her appreciation is slowly growing.

For the knives, anyway.

The first year we were together we bought each other matching Balisong's from the original, true, later to be Pacific Cutlery, Balisong company.

Two years later her choice for a Christmas present was CS magnum tanto. Our biggest problem with knives is who gets to carry or use which knife......and yes I know I am one lucky bastard!
 
My wife used to complain that my collection was taking up too much room and suggested that I should sell some of them.

Good advice. Did I take it? Nope.

I find that by telling her more than she could ever want to know about a particular knife (Manufacturer, steel, blade type, etc.) she has grown completely disinterested in my collection.

I just hope she never decides to surf over here to see what I've been doing with all my time.

Since I make them for a living, my wife's attitude about them is likely more positive than some. She is, however, my most astute critic. If I have even a minor fit issue on a knife I've done, she points to it.... then smiles sweetly and puts the knife down and walks away.

On another front, it is her firm opinion that for every pound of knife I make I also create 2 pounds of dirt.

I once made the mistake of leaving a receipt for a knife I had purchased out on the dresser, and my wife took a gander at the price and I got the old 'how can you spend so much money on this knife when you already have a ton of them and we have to pay the rent, which is two weeks late, and the electric bill, and the phone bill, and then the cable bill, and we have no food in the fridge, and no gas in the car, and our kids have no clothes, and my mother's birthday is coming up, etc. ETC." speech. I listened like a good husband, and then said, "But look how smooth this knife opens!"

I slept on the couch that night.

So, I made a plan. A plan that would make my wife leave me alone so I could buy ALL the knives I want. HEE-HEE-HEE! I got her drunk one night and then BOOM! I got her pregnant! Hey, it only took a couple of seconds.

NOW, her and her sisters go all over town buying her maternity clothes, etc. while I am here ALONE, on Bladeforums, reading about all the knives I am going to buy, and then I'm going to buy more, and then more, and then more....

Anyone know where I can buy a crib for cheap?
 
I failed to mention when I started this thread, that I am also a very fortunate man. My wife has a Spyderco Enduro, a Randall Model 18 and is looking at a Model 5 4". That's my little wife!

I'm a happy Chicken.

My wife has always been very good in this area, especially after I got her a Spyderco Mini-Goddard for her key chain. The only time she made a "how many do you need" comment, I said "how many Cherished Teddies do you need"? An abrupt end to a very short argument.

Since I get most of my knives in exchange for doing photographs, she doesn't complain too much. But it is funny you asked, it was just this afternoon that she asked me to make a list of the knives and their values. She said just in case something happens. Now I'm going to lay awake at night wondering what she meant by "just in case".

We have a new deal going; She doesn't ask about the knives, I don't ask about her shoes. Fair is fair, and you can't sell or trade shoes

That's funny because today I was giving her a rash of poo-poo about something and she looked at me and said, "Yea I'm about as rational as you are when holding an automatic knife and spending that much money on it!"

Funny but she doesn't even know that I spent around 400 on the Microtech Vector today. I'm done ... I promise ... what's with Microtech? Seems like once you get one you want another and another and another. Almost like I felt when I got a tattoo, I had wanted another and another.

Do the Microtech blades have a hex on them that requires us to spend mucho cash on the best automatic there is out there?

i am the son of a country butcher, the grandson of a butcherr the great grandson of a butcher, and on the ohter side the grandson of a bladesmith. my wife was raised with very different values than me and alway seems to see knives as weapons not tools (i have always heard them referred to as such by the butchers) any way i am totally comfortable with them and she fears them so it kinda sucks.

a man is no fool to give up that which he cannot keep to gain what he cannever lose.
 
I guess mine's a keeper - we both have our things to buy - and knives are not nearly as expensive as the fine old shot guns and winchesters I used to collect! O yeah, she collects diamonds. :eek


I'm the boss in this house - my wife told me so!

------------------
 

My wife is a sweet, beautiful thing that absolutely has no clue. She's carried a SAK in her purse for the past ten years and can't for the life of her see why I need to buy anything other than a SAK. I showed her my new Sebenza last week and she just kissed me and said, "that's nice dear". What more could you ask for.

I'm not nutz, I've just gone sebenza!

It's taken my wife some time, but she's coming around, especially after outfitting her with a bunch of new kitchen knives. I've actually noticed her investigating my CS Tanto a few times when it's been laying around...
