I'm not sure where the lines are drawn between a Hobby, Collection, Accumulation, or a Hoard.

I keep an inventory of all my folders in a spreadsheet and at last count I think I was about to hit 400.

I have never counted but it certainly isn't a 100 knives. I didn't know it was a race?
How many have you ever carried? How many are duplicates? I just can't imagine having 400... it would seem more a hassle than an asset.

I've bought 13 knives, mostly in the 7-8 years, and about $1300 spent. Most of the money spent was in the last 2 years. Too many and too much for my liking but I won't sell any, I will probably give some away though. I will probably buy some more knives in my life but probably not many.

Take a look at this thread,
massive amount of knives http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1186860-Tactical-fixed
I will be buying more in the future for sure...10 knives isn't cutting it (no pun intended). I would love to have 100 but I bet that'll take me a decade to reach. I can't imagine having 400...I'd definitely have a specially made plinth to showcase them, just not sure where in the house my wife would allow it...it would probably have to be in the garage!

When you start having to move knife boxes around just to find a seat on the couch or a space on the kitchen table...
You're still good...
That's a hell of a lot of knives and an extremely sexy collection but most of them seem to be fixed blades. Don't get me wrong there's gotta be a couple hundred folders on there but I'm sure someone on here has many more folders than that!
hahah or you use your knives as a c(ouch)

Nope, not all together. I do have a few group shots of certain types, but no more than a dozen or so in the same pic.
There are folks here with a LOT more than me.

I know Lone Wolfe has quite a few sebbies and I'm sure she has a ton more knives on top of that impressive collection. I'd like to see some real heavy hitters check in here!

I could see owning 100 or 200 guns (potentially lots of value), but I can't see myself ever owning 200 knives since I never sell one. They do pile up and I don't keep count. I don't even know how many firearms I own.
Nice, I'm still working on my first firearm. It will be a glock 26...can't wait! Probably get it mid summer.

I've significantly carried probably about 150 or so of them over the years. There are many that I get and immediately store in Spyderpacs or Kershaw knife bags because they just don't "cut it". I have a rotation of 64 favorite folders that I keep in a 64-drawer hardware storage cabinet for carry. When I get new knife that I like well enough to regularly carry, something gets the boot out of the cabinet to a storage bag. But honestly, I've fondled and handled every one of the 400 knives. There are only a couple of "safe queens"...a Kershaw Ruby and a couple of ZT0392s...but I have a feeling I'll carry them someday too. It's not really a hassle at all, fortunately folders don't take up that much space and are easy to organize.
In terms of duplicates...I have a complete collection of Kershaw Skylines (which are actually safe queens) as well as a few custom Skylines I've picked up over the years...so 20 plus of them are Skylines. I've got a several Griptilians, a couple different PM2's, a couple of Delicas, a couple RATS...maybe a few others. Many of the knives in my collection are cheap knives. I've got a bunch of Red Riders, Chinese Kershaws, Chinese Spydercos, Chinese CRKT's, Enlans and SRM's. I've even got some POS auction site knives. I keep those as a learning experience or to demonstrate to a friend how bad a knife can be :barf:
I have a knife budget every month and sometimes even stay within it! I've noticed something changing in my collecting recently however...unless I'm really stoked over a $100 knife, I'd rather pass on 5 of them and save money for a single $500 knife. I can look back and see when I began to pass on five $20 knives to get a $100 knife and I'm a little afraid of where this might end.
Anyway, I'm not a hoarder. I promise. If anyone has an interest in seeing my spreadsheet, shoot me a pm with your email and I'll send you a copy.
