I am curious as to how many Benchmades the average person in this forum owns.

I understand some of you have too many to count without spending a couple hours to count them, so estimates are fine in that case :)

I will start since I posted this thread.
I just counted and I have:

21 BNIB Blue and Black class Benchmades and only 2 current users. So my number is 23.
I have been cheating with spyderco (four PM2's) and I rotate all for EDC.

Almost all of my BNIB Benchmades were purchased within the last year or so. I had a pervious collection and sold them. Regreted it, and replaced them. So how many Benchmades are you guys stashing? :)
 
At one point i think i had 30 or so but now only own Benchmades that have been pimped or have custom scales. I currently own 15 at the moment. I used to really like the limited runs or first productions but those really don't do it for me any more.
 
Just a mini grip now
I had a 586 but my brother has been carrying that for a while
 
From memory and not counting the sub-brands

2x 710 in M4
2x 710 in M390
2x 707 154cm
1x 707 m390
1x Grip in M4
1x Grip in G10/M4
1x Grip in 154cm and tanto
1x Mini Grip in M4
1x Mini Ritter Grip
2x 940
1x 940-121
1x 943
1x afck in m390

edit: forgot 1x 746-1201 (shot show 2012 le)
edit2: forgot 1x 530
edit3: forgot small Bone Collector in black/green G10

So far my count is 9 with the newest addition being a 943 with satin blade. I plan to add some custom scales in the very near future since my 707 scales turned out so nice :D there are still several BMs I want to get like the Shoki and 707-1201.

My BMs are

943
585
907
470
527
707 x2(1 black 1 satin)
556 x2(1 blue plain 1 pink custom)
 
12 for now. Try and rotate all, but I have a lot of other brands which get used, so it can take a while.
Cheers
 
My count is 48; mostly Blue class, many oldies, a handful of Black class and a bunch of limited's.
 
The two classic ones...

710 HS M2

705

That's it! All the others either given away as gifts or sold.
 
I do not OWN any Benchmades, we simple coexist for an unspecified amount of time for a mutually beneficial purpose

Gerbers that were bought when they were still a quality knife.

Unless Benchmade comes up with something really nice/special (no gold class) this may be the last I buy for a long time. Although I am seriously considering the soon to be released 810-1401 Contego.

My favorite EDC is the 586 Mini-Barrage and then the Doug Ritter Mini-Griptilian.

2 x 710 (DLC-1, -3)
2 x 730 (-1202, BK-1203)

Well, those who have larger collections had at one time a total of five knives too ;). Give yourself some time and watch them multiply. :)
 
I used to have a lot of benchmades but keep selling them to get something else.

Right now I only have:

710 D2
975 Benchmade/Emerson
Ritter grip (does that count as a BM?)
750BT







I don't own this line green mini anymore.

off the top of my head... maybe 10:
AFCK
mini-AFCK
Leopard
Leopard cub
mini-grip
913
581
890
760
730
 
Two.
A Seabee Griptilian because it was the only knife I could find with that logo. And a 910D2 Stryker. Both are relegated to collector status at this point.
 
About a dozen. Only one is a gold class. I really need to take them out for a family photo...

I have about the same number of Spydies so I don't have a huge preference for one over the other. I usually buy on a knife-by-knife basis.
