i had 4x as many knives last year but the more i used them the more the flaws bugged me and i just had to get rid of them. the 2 izulas and byrd folder are contest prize/trade/gift so they don't really count...i'm on a minimalist high lately.

the only new additions from the knives i bought early last year are the axe, spyderco bushcraft and fallkniven f1. as of now there's no knife out there that i want...i think i just achieved knife zen :D

Oh yes, by a lot. Personally, I have been making due with a GEC #25 (a second, the bone seems to have shrunk a bit and so I had to do a good bit of filing and sanding to get the liners flush with the scale again) and a Victorinox Champion (the only can opener I use, the screw drivers are useful, I use this for just about everything else. Use the blades for cutting tape and other gunky crap) for the last six or so months, and am only just now beginning to start a larger collection again.
 
oh shoot, i forgot to add my victorinox one-handed trekker to the pic. i'm going to have to re-take that photo tomorrow or my ocd won't let me sleep!
 
Know what you mean... My collection ebbs and flows over the years, with my tastes, interests, and money.

i have a large sebenza, m390 tsek, and an 860 manual bedlam. that is it... well and a burger on the way. and i'll probably get the tsek a sibling in the afck... but thats it! after an acies... aw damn it anyways
 
I have a grand total of 6.5 knives. I bought 6 and i am making one that is no where close to completion. so, yes, I do have less knives than you.
 
I thought I was doing well with just 8 EDC folders 6 or so camp blades and about a dozen other sentimental knives that I don't even carry.

I guess I need to thin the heard even more.
 
Man , if that dozen or so knives and stuff is knife "Zen" , I got serious issues. If I laid out all my cutting tools and took a picture of it , I honestly think you guys would consider me seriously nuts :eek:

Nice to see you have some real goodies in there ! That should cover all the bases.

You'd call me nuts once I get to the antique rusty(but f'ing sharp- got a scar to prove it) sickle
 
I have less knives... and I haven't bought a knife in a year. :/
Maybe I achieved my 'zen' state, but I really think it's just that money has been tight.

Nice knives, though! I really want to get an orange Izula.
 
My hubby has you beat. He has 1 dress knife, 1 for outside work, and a one blade barlow that can be used for dress or work. His fourth is a fixed blade. But he is still looking.
 
Yeap, sold most of my collection this year. I call it purge, few users survived that were too valuable functionwise to be sold.
 
I have you all beat. I've got the orange Spyderco Military. Nothing else. Used to have others, but gotta pay for school somehow.
 
Mine is usually less.

EDC: Lg Sebenza
Multi: Victorinox Spirit
Fixed: Nyala
Backup: Para2
Worker: Millie
Mexico: Mini Grip 555HG
Hatchet: Knives Of Alaska Hunters Hatchet.

I typically carry the Seb.
 
I have a small collection as well with an esee 5, breeder cub, buck 193, buck 110, buck knight, some fixed blade Gerber my wife got at walmart, a pakistanny damascus pos, kershaw leek, kershaw blur "tactical", kabar phat bob folder, bk11, and 3 recently purchased but not in hand yet landi bush shiv, remi Levine medium recoil, and a benchmade onslaught. Each one does its job and I don't have many gaps in workability
