Not counting manufacturers of course, I'm wondering who has the most folding knives in their collection by count on this forum. It's certainly not me. I own 10 folding knives. But I imagine somebody on here holds the title for supreme folding knife collector! Is it 175? Is it 500? Maybe over 1000!
 
Around 80 for me right now. And a bunch that are in various stages of being fixed.

At my peak of collecting, I had around 310 knives, from little Case Baby Butterbean to an 18" Himalayan Imports CAK.

holy crap...80 is a lot, but 310 is insane....do you have any pics?!
 
I only have a couple hundred as of now. But many (most) of them are inexpensive. Rough Rider/Colt is a bad drug, because they are so cheap for the quality, it's hard not to try out every style/color/variation. [emoji56]
 
Counting knives in vehicles and out buildings, I have over a hundred...maybe well over. I've never counted them and don't intend to do so. The numbers don't matter, I just like a lot of various knives and designs and I've been buying them for a long time now.
 
There's a guy named "treeshaker" around here that has 1000+ folders I believe. Tried to get him to get a group(s) shot but never did. Have seen pics of the Spyderco collection he's got though that was in 100's+ for sure. Me, think only got around a dozen folders anymore.
 
I have about 130 at the moment. I have sold, traded or given away around 50 more. I don't own any expensive knives though, the most expensive knife I have right now is a ZT0550. I sold my more expensive ones, because I rarely, if ever, used or carried them. My fixed blades are the ones that see the least use, these days, since I haven't had time to go camping or backpacking as much as I used to. Most of my other "nicer" knives are Spydercos: Gayle Bradley, Yojimbo 2, Ulize, PM2. A few Benchmades: Griptilian 550 and 551S, etc.

I believe I have about 20 if I include the cheap Smith and Wesson black ops knife, two CRKT M-21's. The rest are BenchMade , Emersons , Spydies and CRKs and one Strider.
 
Not sure how many folders he has but if you to the gallery thread and check out tactical fixed, a gentleman from Russia, screen name MAKANDR has the most impressive collection I've ever seen. Easily a couple thousand knives. Have a look
 
1, 2, 3, not it!


Without actually counting, I estimate I have somewhere between 75-100 knives based on my last inventory count and acquisitions plus departures since...

75% or more of those are folders.
 
This should be interesting. I am not even close, although my wife probably thinks I have the most.
 
A guy in another knife forum claims to have 10,000+. He has plenty of pictures, and tons of knife knowledge. He could very well be telling the truth.
