At a minimum I would say three... small, medium and large.
At a maximum... whatever makes sense for your personal situation. This amount will vary and lies somewhere between three and three hundred.
My personal maxim is to:
- Only keep ones that I could realistically see myself using.
- I don't keep duplicates if at all possible, i.e. only one AD, one BAD, one NMSFNO, one NMSFNOLE.
- I have a "new one in and an old one out" policy and try to increase the total number of knives by only a few each year so that helps keep things under control.
This is pretty much become my philosophy with all my collecting.
