Number of KAI knives vs. other brands in your collection?

2 Kershaws
1 ZT
1 Benchmade
1 Emerson
1 Esee
1 Cold Steel
1 Spyderco
1 Scrapyard
1 Ontario
1 Leatherman
1 Camillus
1 Hard Edge Knives

I think that's it. Might change tomorrow depend on what the gun store has to offer.
 
Upcoming purchases are all ZT, though (0770CF, 0777M390, 0801CF, and 0454).

Well, I'm still on the fence on the Spyderco Domino.

And the Camp 18 might sneak in there too.

Thanks, I have downsized a lot. Probably from around 35 or 40 to 11. I actually like it way better this way. Everything gets carried and is easier for me to access. The only other things I'm going to add is a bigger camping knife and probably another work knife to go with the knockout. (Thermite maybe?)

I already know I won't have enough for any of the upcoming LE's, so I try not to get attached to them.

I just might pick up a Camp 10 because we heat with the fireplace during Winter and sometimes we get pieces that are just a little bigger than we would like and I'm thinking the Camp 10 would do a nice job of eating those up.
 
14 ZT's
11 Kershaw's
4 Benchmade 's
7 Cold Steel (parking lot sales)
2 Ckrt's
2 Böker's

So if I did the math correctly 1.56 to 1. I still have some knives coming in & on order but didn't include them in the count. ZT's & Kershaw's have become my obsession lately though.
 
Let's see:
6 Kerhaws (Leek CB, Leek Damascus, S30V Blur, Cryo, Wild Turkey Damascus, and a Double Cross Damascus)
5 ZTs (0550, 0560CBCF, 0561, 0600, 0801)

So, call that eleven.

I have two CRKT Ripples (one ultramarine, one bronze); an Emerson Mini A100; a Spyderco Centofante Memory and a Lil Matriarch; a Hen and Rooster Congress; a Case Small Texas Toothpick; a Byrd Wings (very similar to a Spyderco Dyad); and a GEC #54 Whittler.

I'm also holding two sprint run Spyderco Delicas as presents for my girlfriend as well as a Case Equestrian for her.

That's 11 of 23, if I did my sums correctly.
 
10 KAI
8 Benchmade
7 Spyderco
3 Boker
2 Strider
1 CRK
1 Lionsteel
1 Hogue
1 Coldsteel

I recently got bit by the Skyline bug and am now on a mission to get more variants :D got the orange and the all black and did a blade swap then added some kryptoglow scales. I really want to find the elusive blue s30v :)

Currently have 4 ZT's (0200, 0350, 0560 & 0550) and 11 Kershaws (5 Zings, 2 Leeks, OD-1, Blur, JYD and a orange Packrat)

Other knives total about 8 including 3 CRKT, one Spyderco, and some cheapos puchased during the 80's or 90's. Actually only one of those was purchased within the past 10 years so take that for what its worth

Dunno the exact counts, but I'd venture a guess that KAI knives account for more than half of all my knives.
 
Benchmade M4 Griptilian
Spyderco persistence
Spyderco kiwi
Spyderco SpyKer (that's half and half)
Case Stockman

I hope to add a benchmade 943 in the near future.
 
I am all over the map.

14 Kershaw
11 Zero Tolerance
2 Al Mar
27 Benchmade
2 Boker
17 Buck
11 Chris Reeve
15 Cold Steel
2 Combative Edge
2 Curtiss
22 Emerson
14 Gerber
3 Hinderer
14 Lone Wolf
20 SOG
23 Spyderco
5 Striders
1 Swamprat
1 Scrapyard
1 Three Sisters
7 Victorinox
1 William Henry
57 Misc

So that's about 9% for KAI and growing ( I just picked up a ZT0801, ZT0600 and an Injection 3.5 )
