I use all my knives. In fact if I find myself owning a knife but not carrying it and using it I will sell it.
 
I've carried and used 6/8 of my knives, plus my mini SAK and Leatherman. My Al Mar Payara doesn't get used because it was a gift. My ESEE 3 simply hasn't been used *yet*. I keep it in my bag as an emergency tool, and have used my ZT 0550 for camp tasks.

Of the ones used, each has been used substantially more than 3 times :)
 
About 20%. I have dedicated edc pieces and then others I just collect for fun.
 
Those that say 80-100% how many knives do you own? I probably have 50-70 folders at this time but go back to the same 8 or so knives religiously for EDC. Doesn't mean I don't love some of the knives I don't EDC,

Mine was literally 6 of 8, as opposed to 75%. I don't own many. Not a collector, as such. I don't have issues with the idea, though. I simply don't have enough money to buy as many as I'd like.
 
I've got no problem at all with folks that own a half dozen or less knives. Sometimes I think they're way smarter than people that have hundreds! My point it just that if you have 10 knives it's much easier to EDC 100% than if you own 100!

I sell off or give away all the knives I don't use. I see no point in myself to own knives that I can't/won't/don't use.
 
21 to 40 percent, the rest are either part of a collection, sellers for folks at work, gift pieces and a few just for the sheer workmanship and beauty of the piece.
 
100%
I like to know if my knives really are....
I like the idea that they are tools, and I simply don't see the point in not using tools...
 
Whats the point of buying a knife if you're not going to use it, thats the fun part of owning a knife. If I wanted to stare at something pretty I buy pieces of art. But thats just me, YMMV.
 
That's what some knives are to some people "pieces of art". Not my thing but I guess I can understand it.

I have my favorites that get carried and used all the time and I have many that I have never cut anything with them. Trying to choose knives now that I might just use versus something that just caught my eye.
 
All my knives are used, some more then others as I have work, weekend, going out/dressed up and around the house knives. This is my current rotation and collection.

 
I have carried everyone of my folders for daily use except one (A very special knife I have). However, a select few see more pocket time than others.
 
All of them. Some get carried more than others though.

Ive had knives that i only carried once or twice or not at all. Those have since been traded or sold.
