120+ knives.
No lighters.
No guns.
The only watches and flashlights I have are not collectible or interesting in any way.
Several 'vintage' computers - Commodore, TI99, etc.

Old books on witchcraft. :eek: , Hot wheels, canons,(not cameras):cool: , cameras,(not Canons) , motorcycles :cool: , cars :cool: , and Barbies :eek: :confused: (don't tell anyone :( )
 
I've got more Frank Zappa albums than I do knives, but cost wise, probably knives. In total I've got about 700 CDs, definitely more cost than my knives, although there's a few thousand in those too.
 
I have been dumping stuff like crazy. When you hobbies get require a managment system, it is time to simplify!! :eek:

Down to:

34 knives and still reducing

3 flashlights - mini, midi and maxi

2 watches

1 lighter (camping only)

1 pen (I gave up that additiction years ago)
 
a dozen or so knives and still going..
a dozen or so pairs of sneakers and trying to stop..
a half dozen impact weapons and still going..
one and a half bikes (mtb) and still going..

that last one is the most expensive and therefore slowest going,
but most rewarding, addiction/collection.
 
30+ knives (fixed, folders, autos, novelty)
12 flashlights (mag, streamlight,inova,photon)
6 lighters (zippo, solo, brunton,etc)
5 watches (seiko, citizen, gshok solar/atomic)
2 pens (cusom made, cross)

I tend to get what I like and use, not so much collecting.

I was WONDERING why I got a sharp pain in my side every time I gave you a negative reputation point. :D ;)
 
Used to be stuffed animals (great for getting girls to your house) then Zippos but since I got married it is definitely knives.

Tons of old comics(I love crackies that need money bad :D)

I collect just about anything that I'm into. Not for investment, but because I'm a nut who likes to have LOTS of the things I like.

By far the most prolific of my collection is MAGAZINES about every subject that I've ever been into.

Some of the things I collect include: (in order of importance)

Kids (5 and holding -- surgery prevents me from collecting more)
Guns
Guitars
MP3's
Knives
Flashlights
Survival/Camping gear
Reloading gear
1/18 and 1/12 scale sport bikes (crotch rockets)
Watches
Fishing gear
Owl figurines (my hooters -- a friend has a beaver collection, lots of stuffed beavers... yikes... I just keep making it worse... :eek: )


Whenever I get tired of maintaining a collection, I just hand it over to the kids and they seem to be able to "dispose" of just about everything.
 
well, un-officially the collecting-madness has cured in my case, more or less, but every now and then when i get that itch again, it's usually knives or watches, or both.

pens and lighters don't do much for me, to me they are just tools. i did once buy an expensive butane-lighter, but it failed me after a year or so, and the re-filling started to get on my nerves. same with a Zippo, that i still laying around here, the refilling each week annoys me, and the flame is too big for my taste, and well, it smells like kerosine when i light a sig. usually my choice of lighters are simple and cheap disposable, occasionally i use matches too. same goes for pens, BIC-disposables serve me just fine.

as for flashlights, i like 'em, but i like to keep things real too. i have one Surefire that's always with me in the inside pocket of my jacket, a Photon on my keychain, and a MagLite in my bedroom. all i wish for in that department is a seriously high-power Surefire, like an M3 or something.

as for the watches, my Fortis Cosmonauts is my EDC quality watch, and i have a Seiko diver and a Seiko-5 as backups. when it comes to watches i'd someday like to get me a nice chronograph with Lemania 5100 movement. probably a Fortis, Sinn or Tutima i guess. i once had a Breitling SOP and a Rolex Airking as well, but they just didn't do it for me. too much bling-factor.
