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

12 Benchmades -
4 Kershaw
2 ZT
1 ESEE
1 KABAR
1 Spyderco
4 Leatherman
2 Gerber
1 Boker
1 Case
1 Emerson

Of the above, 3 are fixed, 5 manual, 6 autos, 12 assisted, 5 multi-tools and I rotate 6 of them through my EDC.

but the real answer to how many knives is simply that I don't have enough.:)

I had to go and look but I currently have 25 folders and 8 fixed. I was thinking I had too many and maybe it was time to sell some, but now I think I am way behind most here and better keep buying. :o

EDC/work I carry one, a SAK, weekend it is usually two with the SAK and my BM710HS.

Hunting it is always an old Marbles my Dad gave me for sentimental reasons.

I'd say about 35-40 fixed blades and between 250-270 folders, I've spent the last 10 years tryin' to get a handle on what I have, catalog it and assign values to what I paid for what when and the current estamated value of each knife, with a pic and description of the knife.

You know it looks funnier in print than when I say what I want to do.
 
Um, not nearly as many as I have drooled over. In fact, I have enough, except for some reason I really don't believe that. ha ha.
 
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
Ya, I do that too. Works great. I love OpenOffice!

i have ~ 60 or 70 not counting kitchen knives and the like, mostly folders, most of 'em in LNIB shape (i'm a collector i suppose), as far as edc the only things i carry nowadays is either a custom ermerson CQC13, a production emerson CQC12, or a spyderco Ti ATR, every now-and-again i carry a fixed blade, only in the winter, and it would be either a bud nealy 5" M2 pesh kebz w/the MASS sheath system or a polkawski companion, every now and again, when deer/turkey/hog hunting i will wear my mad dog SEAL ATAK2 just for fun, and when i bike (3X a week) i carry a spyderco police SE.

i used to have more knives, close to 100, almost all production stuff, a LOT of BM prototypes/pre-pro's/1st pro runs/etc and early spydercos, and still have a few of those, but now most of my stuff is custom, the only production i ever carry (other than when biking) is my spyderco Ti ATR, i really really like that design, in fact the last few weeks thats been what i have been edc'ing, i have 2 PE TI ATR's, 1 SE Ti ATR and a SE SS ATR, like i said i really like the ATR FWIW.
