How Many Knives

[Burchtree]

I'm just curious as to how many knives everyone owns. Of course, exacto-knives and kitchen utensils don't count. I don't know my own right now, but I'll count when I get home tonight.

 

[ARtsig1]

Easy for me. 14 folders and 1 fixed blade. Was up close to 100 at one time, but i sold a lot and started buying custom tactical folders and they ain't cheap!

 

[Gollnick]

I don't know.

Everytime I go looking for something, maybe like the timer that I use for the Christmas lights that I haven't used since last year and now I can't remember which drawer it's in (it's in the one I put it away in last year thinking, "I'll remember that it's in this drawer."). I find another knife buried in some drawer and say to myself, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that one."

To quote last year's Michael Douglas film "Don't Say A Word"----"I'lll nevveer teellll"

 

[Practical Use]

Perhaps if you know how many - you don't have enough!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can see my small collection here.

4 folders whom have all made the EDC rotation at some point in their life
3 fixed blades
2 multitools

It will keep growing and growing...knives are very sentimental to me. They represent a point in my life...I don't like to get rid of any. Besides, as a kid I had this dream that someday I could have this drawer full of knives and pick out whatever one I wanted to use for that day

I figured we're just going over the number of knives we have, so I won't explain any of mine unless asked

[TheBadGuy]

If we are counting quality knives, I am at about 70 now. If we are talking all knives and swords, cheap, expensive, made here or there. I have about 700.

 

[AnklePocket]

2 production folders
3 custom folders
5 custom fixed blades
1 WWII Navy fighting knife that shows signs of fighting, but the previous owner won't fess up
Might sell a few as I obviously have way too many knives.

A lot of BM's and Spydies,

A buncha Case, and pre 1950's stuff,
A sh*t load of production minatures,

and a partridge in a pair tree.

16 folders and always looking for more. For some reason buying knives awefully addictive, is there a cure for this drug.

I have 60 give or take a couple. This includes 9 Spydercos, 5 V'nox and 2 Kershaws that make up most of my EDCs.
