First, show them a little Case knife with a pretty-looking handle, like the
new mini hunter (just got a blue one from Lowe's), a toothpick, or a peanut.
They will think it's cute.

Then gradually move up to larger size knives with the same handle material.
A nice slow break-in.

I bought mine a small Leatherman, then I moved up to a small Mirage and
finally got her a Chive. :)

A lovingly played with my katana for a year or so in front of them. (Family
of 3 kids). When it was time, and with your help, she chose a Kershaw
Blackout for herself.

I had no problem getting my wife used to knives. What I have trouble with is
her being jealous of the time I spend with them.

My wife - "You care more about your knives than me!"

Me - "No, Honey. Seriously, I don't. Just hand me my new Blade Magazine,
please?"

As Terry can tell you my Wife is pretty darn familiar with knives. She has
her own favorites, her favorite Tactical is an Emerson CQC-7 I've had for
years but is mint and she has had a Spyderco "Q" ever since they came out,
it's never been used but she always liked it. Then she has her own favorite
work knives, mostly a Leatherman Juice accompanied by a Smith & Wesson
Tactical. The key to getting them interested in my opinion is to get them
involved. We watch the Chris Kirk knifeshow every Monday & Wednesday, I'm
the President of the Fanclub! I've got more good deals on knives on that
show than I can count! She has become involved to the point that she is
almost as ready to watch it as I am! She's really learned a lot about knives
and guns during our 16 years of marriage, I've always involved her and it
got her interested. It worked for me, maybe it'll work for you. For example,
there was a Winchester Toothpick that was a Factory Special Order, the first
and only time it would be made. It has the "Slick-Yeller" scales with the
old Winchester oval shield and of course the Winchester Etch on the Blade,
Full size. It was a show special for 29.00! I happened to be calling about
some business about the time Chris showed it, she was hurrying to get my
attention, I'd spotted it and as soon as the Operator answered I ordered
one, she was urging me too because she knows the price of Winchesters and
the collectability! Another time not too long ago he had a Schatt & Morgan
New Old Stock "Dollar Knife" blade etch Jack knife in it's original box for
39.00, I had never even seen the pattern, it was made way back and they had
them in white & black Micarta scales and Buffalo. As soon as we both saw the
Buffalo scaled version we both jumped! I dialed as fast as I could, got
lucky and got in, by the time I had placed my order the Buffalo handled
one's were sold out! It turned out to be one of the coolest, most unique
knives in my collection yet! It has their original ruby red Acorn shield in
it and is just as mint as it was the day it was made! That had to be the
sharpest knife out of the box I've ever bought! Back then they weren't
worried about the damn insurance companies! So get your Gal's involved
involved a little at a time and see if they don't get hooked. My wife is an
official Knife-Knut!
If anyone is interested in winning Prizes and having a great time drop me an
e-mail to join our Fanclub/Collectors Club or visit our Website at
www.ckfc.2ya.com the website doesn't seem like much until you get a yahoo ID
to get in to the protected part. Anyone joining through the website be sure
to look at the sign up info. on the regular part of the website, it tells
you what info. to send to be registered, we have to issue you a Member # in
order to have you eligible for the contests. Chris Sponsors a knife giveaway
once a month, it's always a very collectable Case and we have several of our
own. Everything is free and no spam or crap like that involved, just people
who love knives having a place to get together. One of this last month's
contests was a "Favorite Knife Designer" contest, from all of the entries
the Club Favorite will be determined and every entrant's Member # will be
put in a container and then one will be randomly drawn, this months winner
will receive a Case- Ultra-Violet Russlock, mint in the box, also a Factory
S.F.O.! E-mail myself or Terry to get registered, he's our Associate
Administrator and my right hand! We get together as often as possible to
watch the show together and slobber over each others knives!

The big benefit here when you get them involved is that they don't get up in
the air when you buy nice knives because they know, as we do that it's
better to buy a good one for more then several lesser one's for the same
price! My darling wife supports all of my habits, Knives, Guns, martial
arts!
I'm a lucky man!

So that when they finally crack and cut our
throats during our sleep it will be quick and painless,
as opposed to a slow laborious sawing with some blunt
POS ;-)

Mind you, My Lady can never resist giving her
knives (she's a trained chef) a final ritual 'steeling'
before starting to cut. I think that faint 'slishing'
noise would be enough to wake me. If I suddenly stop
posting you'll know it wasn't ;-)

I gotta go with Chas on this one. What possible benefit could you reap
from this Unholy mixing of women and steel?

At best you are just going to loose some knives, at worst....Well ask

Chas, Is it possible you and I were twins seperated at birth?

I have always told the women in my life socks and underwear say "I Love
You" all year long.

If it ain't got scales of bone or stag and a blade of some fancy hi-tech
steel, I'll pass. I don't have room on my belt or in my pockets for that
kinda trinket.

It's not having my throat cut that I'm worried about.

I' ve bought my wife a Ladybug, a Leatherman Micra, and one of the only
decent knives I ever made was a lady's pruning knife I made for her. She
made off with my Leatherman PST so I had to buy a Wave.

She's bought me a Spyderco Michael Walker Lightweight and a v. nice
Lagiouile.
On our last trip to France, she bought herself a Lagioule too... insisted on
using her own money!
I made a convert!

DO NOT spew blood around the bathroom after hacking a chunk out of your
thumb while trying to open a caulk tube. That really seems to bug them.

After you teach them proper care and maintenance, you don't have to mangle
your dinner with dull/abused kitchen knives.

I have found that explaining the artistic nature, as well as functional aspects
of "purse" knives goes a long way with my female customers. They can appreciate
the "jewelry" aspect of knife ownership, as well as having a practical form of
personal protection, or a way to cut themselves or a loved one out of a jammed
seatbelt. Most prefer a light frame folder, with a 2.75" - 3" partially
serrated blade.

Luckily, thanks to a relative's injury, we had a good number of sterile 4x4
surgical sponges in that bathroom. The blood still clashed with the light
yellow sink basin and white patterned formica counter.
