How Many Knives .............

ROFL, you guys are killing me up there :)

Somewhere in the 25-30 neighborhood, am about to sell off a few though. That"s the problem with buying quality knives with the intent to carry them- have too many just sitting there doing nothing because the one in my pocket is too good NOT to carry!

Just for the fun of it, which one would be the keeper if you had to give up all but one?
 
I have more than I need, but not nearly as many as I want.

I'll say that I'm in the 100 overall range, give or take...
 
I have:
4 fixed blades - Short Ka-bar, Rat H.E.S.T., Rat Izula, Becker bk11
1 folder - Victorinox Farmer
I usually just edc the farmer. I just ordered a Delica 4 so that will be my new edc.
 
I've recently sold a ton of my stuff, here, other boards and Craigslist.

I wanted to get down to "close" to what I'd use.

I've kept: 16 folders - 7 fixed - 2 machetes, plus my katana. :)

I'll probably even trim those down a bit more - sell a few and gift a few to my sons.

Right now I'm waiting for my Andrew Demko "ankerson," 4" custom and at least 1 of the however many ZT/Hinderer collaboration models that are being discussed. :D
 
As they say (you can never have to many "Knives") and since I keep a list : I have 226 Spydies ~~~ 6 - Bucks ~~~ 8 - Benchmades ~~~ 21 - Gerbers from the "Old Days" when I did not know what a real Knife was.!! ~~~ 12 - Puma's because I bought a Display Case full of Knives from a man who did not want to sell Knives when he bought the Business and I gave him $100 for all.! (and gave most of them away and at 19 did not know what I know now.) ~~~ 8 - Collins Machetes new and never have even cut a Twig with them.! ~~~ 31 - Assorted Knives over the years because I just liked them at the time and had a good price on them (Cheapo's) ~~~ 4 - Gerber Belt Knives ~~~ and 1 Combs Custom Belt Knife. ~~~ 6 - Chris Reeves Knives . ~~~ And I have learned through the years a man and his money are soon parted to buy his Toys.! We will not even go into my Gun Collection as I get to thinking I must be crazy as all these are just material things and your Family and Health are the most important things in your life and when I am gone who will care what I had in this life as material items and only be remembered by what I accomplished while I was here !! ~~~ With all my Medical problems I doubt I will be here next year at this time and when it really comes down to it ~~~ who really cares but the Vultures that want what I had while I was here ~~~ so in the Future months most will be sold and everybody will just have to be tissed at me. You all have a great 4th and a safe 4th with good friends and and good food.!! ~~~ best wishes to everybody and take care of yourselves as we are only here for a short time, so make the best of it while you are here.! ~~~ JAG
 
I find that a spreadsheet was much easier for me to keep up with what I have.

I use colors and symbols to help me identify things like location.
Column headings include Part#, name, description, year introduced, year discontinued,
MSRP at introduction, current MSRP, qty, condition, steel, purchase date etc.

Once set up it's easy to maintain but I'm always behind on updating it :o

40+ folders and 15+ fixed blades, including one machette. If I dug about, I'm sure I would come up with more. More Spydercos and Benchmades than anything else. A 110 I've had for dog's years.

Most often, I carry a D4 or a Grip because they are so darn handy.
 
Since i cant justify keeping most knives around for very long, i dont have that many at all, but all get used

5 folders

2 fixed

3 SAKs

2 of folders are probably going to moved along sometime soon... one of the fixed blades as well:rolleyes:
