How many knives do you usually have out in you house or apartment at the same time ? Not counting the knives

in your pocket/pockets.

I usually have at least three sometimes more.
 
Depends on your knifology.

The survivalist has a knife at every door and window.

The collector, maybe a few displayed on a coffee table or wall.

The family man/woman with kids--none.

The senior/elderly, just one for whittling and cleaning teeth.

Guys with lots of tattoos and huge pick up trucks--one big Buss knife is all they need but I would advise against asking them.

Me? Knife? What knife?

Yup, that's about right.

I keep several in a display cabinet but the majority are stored away in a safe place. Not including those knives displayed I may have 5 EDC knives out of said safe place at one time.
 
I keep the ones I rotate through on my night stand, and I usually slip one in my pocket when I'm around the house.

That said, there's usually 5-10 knives on my night stand, but I have a lot more than that...
 
I count 22 now, that I can see w my peepers. Not counting the ones in my pocket and the ones I know are there but can't see.

But knives are my ascendant hobby right now, so I've been messing w them a bunch lately.
 
I have 3 out in my room generally. Two folders on my desk and one on my dresser, + one Cold Steel Gladius under my bed that I can grab in one second if needed.
 
I rotate several for daily carry and keep those organized in my bedroom with my other daily carry/wear items like watches and paracord bracelets. I have 4-5 there and another 10 in my gun closet just so they are out of the way.
 
The firearms, knives, pens, and lights that aren't on me are all put away.
 
It fluctuates. Right now I count 17. My wife hates that, I should clean up and put them away.
 
At last count and photo session - about 100. Wife says too many.....that can't be right because there are still quite a few to go.
 
I have two cigar boxes on my dresser. My EDC rotation is one. Sentimental knives are in the other. Roughly 12 total. Not to mention the leather organizer tray with the rest of my EDC rotation.
 
Maybe 50-75. could be more, i have too many knives, the 2 safes are full, the rolling tool chests are full, it's a bad habit i got.

I started to count them and quit at 18. Keep in mind that I live in a 4 bedroom house where there's nobody under 30 around. I even have 3 in my bathroom along with a Lansky turnBox. Maybe I need help :concern:
 
Usually five to ten on my dresser that are in somewhat regular rotation. I often have a couple of pairs of Levi's and a pair of shorts on a chair that have a knife in the pocket. My knife storage is a wooden tool chest that is kept in the bedroom also. So those are readily accessible as well as the overflow in my t shirt and socks drawers. There are probably six smaller fixed blade knives on a shelf in the family room used for mail, packages, anything else appropriate. Mike
 
I'd have to count, but probably around 50 (65 if you count kitchen knives). The other 200 are in the safes.

I thought I was obsessed. Next time my wife complains I am going to tell her about my friend Derek. 👏🏽
