Wow! You guys have lots of knives. I carry two of my own as EDC and have a almost non existant production collection. I have a few nice customs and some inherited knives, but mainly my collection grows and shrinks based on what I make and sell, since I can't afford to own my own knives, haha!
 
Around 100, 10 benchmade, 5 spyderco, 10 sog, bunch of others less quality than that and my inscribed sm. sebenza
 
P.S. Bob, you crack me up dude... 233... I mean, come on, don't you feel like donating?

Uh, No. Same answer you'd likely get from the other triple-digiters. :)

It really isn't that hard to rack up a three-digit number if you've been buying over a long period. I've been collecting/accumulating knives for over 25 years. If each year you buy a few, receive a couple as gifts, and maybe find one, you'll be up there too eventually. Another reason that my count is up there, I don't give away, sell, or trade away any of my knives. Minus a few carry knives that were lost, I still have nearly every knife I've ever owned.

Just wait until some of the four-digit folks chime in. Some members here have been collecting for much longer than I have, and buying aggressively.

Best Wishes,

I have 13 knives.....funny thing, last purchased knife is Busse's AK-47, which put an end to my knife shopping madness.

Somehow I keep saving, and checking for Busse Combate knife only....
 
Somewhere close to 100 folders and a few fixed blades, 15 or 20 (kits, a few production blades, and some of my own). Haven't counted in a while now:)

I have actaully been meanig to count up everything I have. I would guess I have about 40 or so, but probably half of them are crap that I just picked up for the heck of it, got as gifts, or had from when I was a kid.

The good half is probably worth 10 times what the bad half is.
