How many knives do you own?

20 folders.
6 reg. fixed blades.
10 custom fixed blades.

I use 18 on an EDC rotation.

I figure I'll eventually stop counting but when friends ask I need to answer.
 
My very modest collection:

-Benchmade HK Ally
-Benchmade HK 14210
-Benchmade Mini Pika
-Victorinox Soldier
-Victorinox Deluxe Tinker
-Gerber Gator Serrator
-Spyderco Delica Wave
-Boker Trance
 
At this point, only 2; Buck 110 and Spyderco Delica 4 PE. Several others had passed through my hands until I realized I was more a multi-tool guy, of which I have about a dozen, all Leathermen or Victorinox. Both folders were kept because I like and actually use them.

From the beginning (age 12), I couldn't see the sense of carrying only a blade when, in the same packet, you could fit a variety of other useful tools. My first was a Boy Scout knife, then a variety of SAKs, and later, when I found out about them, pliers based multi-tools. Researching on these is what brought me to Bladeforums @ 12 years ago. Knife discussions here got me curious about quality production folders, so I tried out several highly regarded models. As beautifully crafted products, I enjoyed fooling around with them, but in the end, found myself seldom/never reaching for them as EDC. Since I'm not a collector, off they went, except for the aforementioned, to those who would put them to better purpose.

Like anything else in life, this may change. Someday I might take another run at dedicated folding knives. There are all those pesky letters and packages that need opened, to say nothing of stray threads etc. :D
 
Probably less than a hundred, but willing to increase that if that is what it takes to improve the economy! Steven
 
buck nighthawk, ranger rd-4, and 9, cold steel pendelten hunter, spyderco delica-centIII, kershaw groove, and junkyard dog, gerber gator 154cm. more than i have a need for.
 
at least 6, but I think the total is much higer, like 30.

I'd have more, but I needed to spend money on whisky and guns.
 
Not sure, but if I'm honest, far too many! (Certainly enough to fill a rucsac!)
 
NONE!! lol
Not yet anyway. My first is coming here soon, I ordered the Benchmade VEX, black and partially serrated w/ a drop point. It seems like a nice knife and it should be arriving here around Thursday.
 
Kershaw Groove
Gerber Paraframe I
Kabar USMC, leather everything
2 Cheap bali's
I Machette, unknown vintage
1 "American Camper" multitool
3-4 POS folders

So about 10 in all. Most of them are junk though.

Godot, what is that wood handled Scandi? A Helle of some sort? Also what's the one to the right of it - Looks like a Charles May?

Send a couple of those 110's to me when you get tired of taking pictures of them :)

You called the wood handled knife Helle correct. The one to the right is a hand forged 2.5 inch custom made by Collin Cox. I got him to make it so I'd have a Chicago legal carry knife.

Re the 110's, they would weep if they left my accumulation.:D
 
Wow just kinda counted....hard to believe how quick they can add up. that figure can't be right...can it?
