Yer wife, does she appreciate Spydies and other cool things?

If your topic has nothing to do with Spyderco, you can post it here.

Unfortunately, my wife does not like the knives and hates the firearms more! :( However, she tolerates which is all I ask as I have never liked her mother and barely tolerate her!! :eek: :D

Mrs. CKE has a pink SE Jester and a Bob T. Jr CE that she uses to open boxes from shipments and stuff. Not really into knives but knows the difference between Spydies and the rest. She even broke down and bought me a Yojimbo for Chrstmas...should be here Monday :)

My better half has no less than 3 spyderco's in her purse, including a pink ladybug and a yellow firefly. I made the mistake of training her how to use handguns about 30 years ago. Since then she has been a partner in all of my fun hobbies. Now she has come to appreciate my flashlight collection......

Hi Samo. My wife usually carries bigger knives than me. She also carries more knives than me (one at a time). I usually stick to my old Delica, while she rotates the knives every two weeks. She was into PE but she recently discovered the advantages of serrations (due to a knife I'll talk about soon) :rolleyes:
BTW, Samo, since you got to your lady a Trakker, you should take her to see "The Hunted" - it features this knife there (and the movie isn't that bad either) ;)

:eek: :spyder: :eek: Whoah!!! You are one lucky dude bro! Nah, we don't have a TOPs trakker.. The one in the pix actually belonged to someone else. Mrs Samo loves her Calypso SS, Delica FRN, Perrin Bowie and a blue ladybug.. :D

Not too long ago, back when I had a woman by my side, she absolutly hated any form of knives outside of the kitchen. How can you explain such a woman you feel better when there's a knife at arm's reach in the bedroom? :D

While she didn't appreciate my knife collection, she certainly appreciated me. And even if she never said it out loud, I think some times she was glad I had some pocket knife to get us out of "trouble". The philosophy was she didn't need to carry one since I always had one and we were always together....

Sorry about the sentimentality here...

My wife carries pink jesters on her keychains. A buck 110 in her purse is called her "mall knife". When she first showed it to me I thought she said "maul knife" :eek: . I am waiting to find a deal on a pink delica. It needs to be the metal clip version as she is wrong-handed. :) I would love to take her shooting and I know she'd like to go BUT (doesn't everyone you know have a big but?) it''s hard to justify paying a sitter to go shooting rather than dinner or a movie or something like that.

My partner also EDC's a SS PE Cricket which she uses all the time over at the stables.

If she needs more cutting power she takes her (was mine :rolleyes: ) Spyderco Lil' Temperance...

Fixed blade wise she uses a Helle Nying.

She buys me cool stuff too, she got me this for my birthday:

I'm very lucky ;)

im not married - but my girlfriend likes me owning and carrying knives - i recently gave her my SOG Flash2 after it bit her (first person that it bit)
she loves using my delica in the kitchen and thinks my dragonfly is cute
one day soon i will get her a ss dragonfly if i can find one in PE - then get her name engraved on it.

she also likes me carrying flashlights although i noticed my CMG infinity ultra in her handbag the other day

and she has gotten used to feeling weird lumps on me when she hugs me
things like my phone and surefire L4 and my leatherman flair, and then the rescue and the paramillie

soon i might be carrying a gun at work and she doesnt really like the idea but is getting used to the idea because then she will be able to see me more often

My GF thinks I'm some sort of wierdo-nut-job. So I stop sharping her knives and one day she came to my and asked if I would sharping them for her. Well atlest she likes the Sharp Maker. If she wasn't cute and good in the sack I'd find some other gal to put up with my sh*t.
