Is it normal to hide all the knives from my wife?

As in she knows where they are but I keep all the knives in my house in a locked safe that only I know the combination to. I do this for my wife's safety because as a teenager she did try to cut herself and is known to have psycho issues. To be honest I don't really care if she happens to do something to herself but I just don't want to give her the chance to hurt me. When she wants to use a knife to cut vegetables for cooking, she texts me and I let her know the combination, but when I get home I let her know that I expect all the knives to be back in the safe, and I change the combination each time. Also, I am well aware that other things can be used as weapons. So she is not allowed to wear heeled shoes, and I track her credit card account online daily. Every time I see that she made a purchase I expect her to show me the bill to see that she has not bought pencils, pens, or any other kind of sharp object. So far I am fortunate that she is intelligent enough to understand my concerns.

    You are a total control freak and you're using the fact that she tried to cut herself as a teenager as an excuse to run her life.

    I don't know if she's intelligent or not but she's certainly being browbeaten by you. I do hope you don't have children growing up with this example of a sick and twisted relationship.

    I can understand a bit. And it's also kind of funny.
    Instict for survival is stronger than any other instinct.
    But keeping tabs on her so often, and worrying about every petty thing has got be exhausting both for you and for her, I hope she doesn't get annoyed and hurt you vehemently (no offence, I hope that never happens). But one thing is quite evident, she's being so understanding because she thinks its for her safety and well being that you're doing this. So keep it that way, and don't mention your fear to her.
    However, you have to think of a better way to control the situation, like plastic knives or something, and also perhaps see a doctor, because you're having serious anxiety issues.

    What did she catch you doing to be so scared?

    So, you have really bad trust issues. And it kinda worries me that you said that you don't care that she hurt herself. It’s really bad that you are married and you don’t care that she will hurt herself and you are scared that she will hurt you.

    If she's suicidal now it's probably, because you're a bat shit crazy control freak!
