How many knives do you own?

44 sounds about right, and I've gotten rid of most of the crap over the last several months.

 

9 Folders
Spyderco Caly 3 - main EDC in the city
Spyderco Endura Wave - in the city
Spyderco Cara Cara 2 - I will be getting rid of this one or moving it to a working role
Spyderco Junior - Either a camping knife or a gift to a nephew
Chambriard Grand Cru - a kitchen folder
Alox mini SAK - people friendly keychain knife and scissors
Two SAK's - Old gifts that I sometimes use camping
Gerber gator junior - my first pocketknife

5 Fixed
Chambriard Grand gourmet - chef's knife
Serrated carbon steel bread knife
Second chef's knife with soft easy to sharpen steel for dirty jobs
Condor combat machete, lol why did I buy it?
SOG seal pup, my army knife, why did I not buy a mora

Butter knives do not count.

 

If you ask my wife, she will say too many, and then go on a hysterical rant about my having too many knives, and then go on a hysterical rant telling me to stop buying knives, and then scream at me to do something with all my knives , and then go in the living room and pout while me and my little guy sharpen our knives.

 

Not enough.

Shoot, I figured you had that many in USA-Schrades alone.

 

Same here, but I have twin girls. She doesn't understand...yet. Even when I sell a knife to buy another I get the business.

 

Knives? This is a knife forum?

Does a spork with a sharp edge count?

Okay, Okay ... I'm not sure how many I really have ... All I know I find myself buying higher and higher end knives and not parting with any of the quality, lower end knives in my "collection" .. although I don't think of myself as a collector.

 

Currently 13

 

Too many and not enough.

Thanks for the thread, I really had no idea until I sat down and thought about it.

Would like to add some higher end knives when I can justify the price.

Total is 7 knives. But I still want more.. I see a Strider, Zero Tolerance and a Microtech Exec Scarab in my future.

 

I second that Mike. :thumbup:

 

I have scaled down my collection over the past couple of years. I guess I have about twenty-five, maybe thirty knives if you do not count blades for the kitchen.

Recently, I changed my thinking about how I purchase knives. In the past, if I found a knife that I liked, I would buy it with no thought to need or purpose. Now, I have groups that I place the knives into. Dress, light, medium, and heavy duty, fixed blade, etc. My goal is to have one knife of each basic blade style in every group, however, I am finding that I don't want or need every blade style. For example, clip point knives, I only have three. Two folders and a fixed blade. My light duty clip point can cover as a dress knife and the fixed blade will fill the heavy duty class just fine.

Anybody else use a system like this? Has it worked for you?

 

Fifty or sixty folders, and fifteen or so fixed blades. I need to downsize some, honestly.
