What's the world record for number of CPKs owned...roughly?

I'm coming up on a dozen and will never challenge serious collectors, but am curious what the big boys have amassed?

(I promise not to organize a SWAT entry...and no names have to be provided.)

That would be an interesting factoid to learn.

My Shiv will bring me one shy of a dozen. The only two holes that really need to be filled at this point for me are a Skinner and some form of Chopper. All else will be strictly for the fun and enthusiasm of the acquisition.

You and I are pretty much neck and neck on the size of our stacks.

I just filled the "chopper" need with the LC I was able to purchase from a gracious forum member this past week. I see the "folder" as the major remaining "need".

I didn't actually think I needed the inbound UF2 until Nate opened his big mouth about how great a knife it is and Tensegrity Tensegrity made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Anything else I get, and I'm not kidding myself that the soon to be inbound "Shiv" will be anything near my last...is simply conspicuous consumption, overkill and for the simple joy and pride of ownership.

I'd feel your pain more if you didn't have a bunch of other nice knives.

But yeah...I feel ya.

I’ve beaten the dog snot outta all 3! Next week I’m going to test the tip strength of the SDFK on Hemlock stumps. Only chopped and batoned with the SDFK so far. I’ve pried with the DEK2 and it’s like a mini prybar. I pried with the FK2 as well, but no where near the level of the DEK2. I’m positive the DEK2 and Basic SDFK are almost impossible to break with just human hands, even my gorilla grip would crumble.

My Shiv broke me into double digits. Would love to add a pig sword, but guessing it will be too rare and/or too costly to have any real chance of landing one. A DEK3 would be nice too.

I counted eight for me (K18, Boot Dagger, SS SDFK, satin MC DEK1, "Abdominal ventilation tool" hollow-ground one-off tanto SDFK, UF2, hollow-ground one-off UF2, "ninja" K20), but I have two out for delivery right now (my K20 preorder), one nearing readiness to ship (Shiv preorder waiting on Chad's leather to arrive at the mother ship), and one pending (Basic 5).

I've owned probably double that, but I tend to buy any I can get and then own them for a little bit and let them go if they don't speak to me long-term.

Well, I may be a contender, just because I’ve been at it for a while, and I’m rather strongly drawn to sharp, shiny, steel, especially, of the CPK variety. I don’t have the refined CPK collection that some have, but very rarely let one go. I will actually count them, in the not too distant future. Mike
 
After I receive the 2 I’m waiting on to arrive I’ll be up to 5. MC, HDFK, boot dagger, dek3 and dek1. Had a SS SDFK I sold to fund the HDFK. I don’t think I need any more then that but I want a edc to try out if I’m lucky. The shiv looks fantastic along with obviously a k18/k20 but I can’t justify just having pretty things to look at that I can’t use in any practical way. Plus the wife may use one of them on me while I sleep if she knew how much I spent already on what I do have 🤣

the boot dagger is small enough to at least carry but still really serves me no purpose. As much as I’d love to carry around a k20 everyday the public wouldn’t understand 😢

You're gonna have to take your socks off...oh wait, you're in CA. You don't wear socks.

Ah, the Amazon Fire Stick.

Watched some shows Thursday night...no problems.

Last night it bounces me back after trying to connect with one or two apps and then after rebooting it comes up with a message that it's going to do some re-configuring of apps and available space. This will take about 10 minutes.

Yeah...more like Dead Right There. Done. Finito. Stick a fork in it.

(Oh how I miss my old Apple TV that worked until a nearby lightning strike.)
