Yea they can't go on lunch break at the bank and say, "Hey look at my new Back Bite combat knife.  I carry it so if anyone bothers me I can mark them up."  LOL!

I think you may be correct Clint.    I have tried for years to figure it out.  I go to many knife shows and gatherings where women have no problem talking about knives and their collections.  May just be that is a comfortable forum them to speak up in since there are always alot of women around.

I don't know why the ladies don't talk about collecting knives.  My guess would be they would not want to be seen as UN-ladylike.  The strong willed and secure in their femininity ladies,  will be glad to talk knives.  Jan your a lady knife collector, what would you say?

Anyone else have any ideas?

I know female makers that are active in the knife community but really only one collector.  Knifegirl888, she is active here and on a few other sites

Jan....

This is a good question.  However, you are only the second lady I know who likes knives.  The other one, Jennifer, I taught self defense with an edged weapon.  We never had a chance to talk about this.

So with such a growing community of women knife collectors.  Any thoughts on why so few talk about their hobby?

Clint,

Sure wish you were closer, love to take those courses.  I used to be just down the road.  About thirty years ago I lived in Bethany OK.

I agree.  When I was giving my classes on self defense for women, it was in three stages.  One is basic self defense, six weeks at two nights a week.  Stage two was self defense with edged weapons and stage three was self defense with firearms.  I had many requests to go straight to the edged weapons stage.  I refused as you build a house by starting a foundation.  The basic self defense moves are an intricate part of the edge weapons stage.  So I know there is a growing or coming out of ladies who like knives.
