I'm leaning towards "yes."
This is basically everything, with the exception of a Spyderco SpydieChef (on loan to a buddy), and about a dozen Victorinox Classic SDs scattered all over the house (along with a Jetsetter, which is a bladeless Classic SD).
I used to have way more fixed blades, but just don't get a chance to use them as much nowadays, so that part of my collection has shrunk.
As far as folders go, Spyderco has always been my favorite and probably always will be. (The first good knife I ever owned, pictured in the upper right quadrant of this photo, was a Spyderco Merlin, which I found abandoned on a beach when I was a kid.) I used to be more interested in "fancy" customs, but in the past few years my taste has shifted towards (1) hard-to-find long-out-of-production factory made knives, and (2) customs by lesser known (and/or deceased) makers that are not "makers du jour." An example of the former would be the Benchmade Boguszewski Spike (bottom middle of photo), and an example of the latter would be Gary Little (whose knife sits above the trio of Small Sebenzas on the left side of the photo).
P.S. there was an empty space (proof positive that I don't have enough knives!) so I threw a Smith & Wesson 686+ in there to round things out.
