How many multiples do you own of the same knife?

[NYP]

New to collecting and fell in love with the Arno Bernard iMamba with mammoth molar inlays. I love this knife so much I'm considering buying another one already with different inlays. I'm a sucker for inlays and they have so many nice ones it's hard to pick just one. And I don't mean the same knifemaker, I mean the same exact knife but in different scales and inlays.

I got 3 xm18 3.5s and 3 ultratechs. Each one is different with a different finish and blade shape.

 

[pvicenzi]

Yes

 

[tony281sc2]

Of course we do we’re a bunch of knifaholics.
I have 6 Eklipses and 6 different 0452s

Multiples of several Spydercos:
Manix 2 (4V, Rex45, S90V, S110V, & Maxamet), Military (CPM-M4 & S90V), PPT (S90V & S30V), Sage (s30V & Maxamet), Dragonfly2 (ZDP189 & H1), primarily because of the bladesteel. If it's 4V or better, I feel compelled to get it, and only Spyderco can feed this neurosis of mine . Eventually, I just end up keeping the supersteels.

Different handle options just don't do it for me (ZT, Hinderer, etc). It all boils down to the bladesteel.

If you count variations of the same knife:
3 Spyderco Southards
2 PM 2’s
2 Delicas
2 Umnumzaan
3 small Sebenza
2 Lg Sebenza

No time for a pic this morning.

 

[Ratatoskr]

3 farmers

3,547 Mora Companions

 

[sadmin]

2 chefs (1 modded)
2 kaparas
2 k390 endelas
soon to have 2 Manix when I snag one of BBB collabs
soon to have 2 DM Prevails, 1 wharnie, 1 leaf

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

I have a pair of delicas and a bunch of moras but to many knives to try to buy to many of the same. Only one Arno Bernard Sr. fixed blade. I can't fault a guy for buying a few of those if you can swing it. They are awesome

 

[Steven65]

I love 8" Stainless Model 1's

 

[Ajack60]

These three plus several more of the Military

 

[5DoorEstate]

2 Para3 - likely selling Maxamet soon. DM if you want it

2 Bugouts

2 AD15

 

[Alberta Ed]

Nope. All different.

 

[Hal]

Right at the moment....


I have 27 of the same...

All of them --dull...

JK, mostly, I do have a couple of Buck 110s and three Mora cheapies with different colored handles.

 

[hhmoore]

I have a few ratmandus, in various configurations. I don't have a picture that shows them all...but this is the last one I took
View attachment 1971685
There are at least 4 others, off the top of my head

 

[celticrogues]

I have three iMambas - maple burl, mammoth molar, and kudu.

Don't even get me started on Sebenzas...

I love inlays - they are all so unique and beautiful, that its basically like collecting art.

[jfk1110]

No doubles for me.....

 

[Shorttime]

The only time I chased "the collection" was the CRKT Ripple.

I would still like to add one with the gray frame and wharncliffe-y blade, but they are expensive (to me) on the secondary!

I've been collecting Electrician-pattern knives from various places, which I realize is parallel to the OP's request, but it's the only other time I've looked to pick up different flavors of the same knife.

 

[VorpelSword]

Wow. Well, I don't have multiples of any knife.

Wish I knew "then" what I know now. Wish I had the resources too . . .

Wish I'd taken out a loan and bought multiples of every CChris Reeve one piece (hollow handle) when they were only several hundred dollars each.

Wish I'd bought multiples of the Spyderco wrench-knife-pliers multitool, the SpyderWrench I think it was called.

Wish I'd bought multiples of the Camillus Cuda Maxx folding dagger. I bought one at $125, to give as a gift to an active duty Marine about to deploy to Iraq in 2004.
