How many collection queens do you have

I will have two as of this week, and all my others are users.

I assume by "collection queen" you mean the equivalent to "garage queen" in the car world.
 
I have about 20 that I don't use and that are in the collection.
 
I don't have any *true* queens, in the sense of having been purchased not to use at all. But I do have a good number of knives that I just haven't gotten around to using.

If I've got 50 knives, would say probably 20 of them have never been used at all, and probably 35 have only seen light use.

Probably only 10 have seen really substantial use, but I also no longer own some of the knives that saw a good deal of use. Two that I can think of went missing, and one snapped in half (and no, I was not beating it with a maul).
 
Non for me, I pretty much use them all. I have one custom bali that
isn't getting used a lot only cause I have others that flip better. Otherwise
I would be using it more.
 
I don't mean to, but most of my knives are 'queens'.

I own several hundred knives, don't know the exact count, but there is no way I can use that many knives with just 2 hands -and none of my current use knives have ever broke or worn-out. Because of this, most of my knives remain in their wrapping/boxes.
 
I have 3. The auto because it's my first auto,the spec because I just love it and the 0350 because it's sorta a one of a kind.

You mean... there are gay crossdressing knives out there?? ('Not that it would be bad!' - added to be politically correct...). Is nothing sacred? First - they put pink stocks & grips on long guns & handguns... what next??

Collection queens, indeed!

My Busse Killa Zilla wants to talk to you in the morning about that gay cross-dressing comment!:D
 
Oh yeah? My pink Buck 110 may come to breakfast with me, Mike!

John, er, Stainz - yeah, I'm Stainz...

PS I use all of my knives... too anal to leave one 'New'!
 
I don't know the exact count, but I would say about 125 safe queens, and about 25 users. Way to many, but it was a good bit more before I sold most of my old Case collection.

I've sold way more than I have bought in the past year, and plan to keep trimming down. Would like to get down to about 20 safe queens and 15 users in the next couple of years. It will be hard, but I'm about to turn 49 and have felt kinda guilty lately about having a bunch of knives sitting in safes. My only daughter has no intrest in knives, and if something did happen to me I can't thnk of anyone in the family that would have any idea what to do with them.
 
I have a lot of queens, and i have 1 that is 1of 5, and 1of 6 made in this type every made.
there are canoes.
