After a lot of buying and trading, I had 60 or so production folders. I sold and traded to get to 23 really good ones. I really wanted to get it down to 20, but I think I'll stop with what I have and keep fighting the urge to get into customs.

Just curious, is there anything here you would leave off (or add)?

You can never really be done. Time will pass, new designs will come out, and then your credit card will magically come out of your wallet and buy new enticing models. It happened to me. It'll happen to you. Collecting seems like a life long drug. :D
 
Nice collection.
I think only you know what add or take off the list, but unless you're switching hobbies or taking your interests somewhere else, I doubt that you can be Done.
So many cool knives and no customs? You know you want them.... :)
Any fixed blades?
 
True that. You can be done for now, but never permenantly. +1 on the RIL millie. Your also missing a small seb, but you have a mnandi which could cover that duty. You do need an SnG though.0

Edit: and a sodbuster. Everyone needs a sodbuster, whether they know it or not.
 
Very, very nice list. I realize we're all different and have different likes/dislikes, but wow, we have a lot in common. There are one or two I'd sell/trade and one or two I'd get before I turn into a hermit, but like effer said, only you know what you want.


Okay, can't help it: Vic Soldier needs to be there. But everything else, wow.
 
Don't need to be on the list but can be considered....Volt, Speedform, Xm-18, Sage II, Skirmish, ZT, Busse, Emersons ....
 
I'm done too....with folders.....so its on to fixed blades :)
 
One of my favorite is the Spyderco Mini-Manix (FFG-S90V-CF). I am kind of in the same boat with you as I need to thin out my collection. I probably need to buy a few more to figure out which ones I want to keep (if that makes sense).
 
Delica , centofaunte III, have been my go to edc knives for sometime now, and i just got finished battoning with my delica over 100 times.

or Wenger SI...its one knife i cannot believe i went so long without, I have carried mine every day since i got it (which hasnt been long, but it feel perfect in my pocket). I have just started my collection realistically, got rid of all my rubbish i've had for so long and replaced with decent production stuff.
 
Very nice list! I think the Kershaw count is a bit low though ;)

Either a Tyrade (Ti, not G10), or anything from ZT.
 
I take it you have your Spyderco knives for collection and later higher resale value?

Don't see any that would be hard users for their rarity.
