Right now, how many knives can you touch?

[Ruukuu]

I was looking for a particular knife to open a package that came this morning. as i was looking for it i realised i had loads of other knives within reach.
So i was wondering.....without taking your butt of the chair you are sitting in, how many knives can you pick up.
You can stretch, but not get up. If you are standing, you can reach but not take a step.

I'm shocked and a little embarrassed to say i can reach 49.

I have a problem...lol

you win

Only two, one in my pocket and one on my desk.

Four from where I sit at this very moment. Interesting question. Had me looking around, double checking

 

[JAB]

Just the one I’m currently fidgeting with

I'm glad you said 49 because I was thinking 15 was a lot.

Of course my Fondling Table is right here.

Nice pop quiz!

For me, two - A small fixed blade (FF Esquire) and a small folder (GEC 62).

I always carry one locking knife and a SAK bantam on me
If have have my keys, I also have a SAK rambler

that is it.... unless I am in the kitchen or if I have my knives box at hand

So for me it is 2-3 in most case

Well, my computer is in my office and my knives are in my bedroom so it will be a low number for me.

3. SAK and LM Charge MT on me. Spyderco Centofante 4 in my desk. It's my letter opener.

Sitting at the computer this morning I can reach 6 a long ways from 49 and I thought that I had a problem!

Hard to beat that # OP! Within reach of my desk, I only have these 3:

As I stand infront of my gas heater, only one in my pocket. Kizer duke

 

[jideta]

five

 

[Ruukuu]

Ok that's it. by tomorrow i need to put them all away. No more than three within reach from now on. But now i have the problem....which ones to keep near me.

 

[Retired45]

Without getting out the chair 7 knives, 1 spyderco double stuff, 1 dia-fold coarse/fine, and a loupe. Compared to 49 I feel like a rookie.

Still in my jammies here so I only have this one in front of me I just photographed for another thread.

At least 29 at my desk. There may be a few buried in the pile that are unaccounted for in a quick survey. Plus 12 machetes I can reach withoit getting out of my chair.
