100% of them of them have been carried/used at least that much.
But some of them haven't been used much more often, as I have a bunch of knives, and some are more handy to carry and use than others.
 
100%, I have 6 knives that I am keeping in my rotation, the rest are either sold or going to be sold.

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,

I currently own about 20 and only 2 have never been used. Both sentimental blades.
 
100% of my knives get carried and used. I just rotate them in my EDC setup. I never understood buying a knife, which is a tool, only to never use it. It'd be like buying a hammer and just displaying it. haha
 
I too have no safe queens. I have a pretty packed schedule, so the only time I really have to enjoy a knife is when I carry it and use it. A knife in a display case doesn't bring me happiness so to say :)
 
100%. It'd be 100% if you said 30 times, too. Why buy a knife and not carry & use it?
 
Live in a big city. Bought a zt0801 in all black. Love everything about this knife. But, could never carry or use it publicly.. the audience here would freak out.. looks too threatening.

Flick the knife frequently.. Like holding it.. Cut paper with it.. Will probably never sell it. Really enjoy it. Also have a Large Cold Steel Espada waiting for me and this knife fits into the same category.
 
100%

All of mine are users and most have been sharpened. Not all of them see hard use of course. The "gent's" folders tend to just cut paper, clamshells and food, but they still get used.
 
Currently I have 25 folders, all get carried and used. Some more than others, but I won't buy a knife I won't use.
 
I voted 0% - 20%.

If we only count my daily users, I start out at under 50% because I have at least 1 back-up (more for some) sitting in a box waiting to be used for each of my EDCs. I carry the same knives day-in and day-out. I've given away more knives than I've ever lost. These are usually one of the Buck 484s that I carry a pair of every day. I buy multiple of them when I catch them on sale just so I have spares to give away.

I collect US bayonets and US military knives (1219C2s, USN-MK2s, Qs, JPSKs, etc), and as there is no legitimate daily use for them, each one drives my percentage down. Real easy to get below 20%
 
I started this hobby off as a collector, so I have a lot of knives that I don't even like....
I still have all of my Gerber's and Winchesters and Frost garbage from when I didn't know any better.
 
100%. I don't carry all of them all the time, but at some point they all get some walking-around time. I have no safe queens. All of my babies get some play time, even if I'm just carrying them around my own yard.
 
I voted WRT my folders, which is most of what I've bought in recent years. I buy folders to carry, but occasionally I buy a rare or limited model and it takes me a while to decide if I'm actually going to carry it. I have a couple now that I bought and decided not to carry, and will eventually sell. I don't buy folders to collect and look at.

I do have fixed blades that I bought in the past just to collect and not use. If I answered the poll based on all of my knives combined then the percentage would have dropped to about 40%. My breakdown theoretically should be close to 0% for fixed blades and close to 100% for folders.
 
I use everything I buy. It's just that some knives, after using/carrying them for awhile, they find their way to the drawer and stay there. I still like them, fondle them occasionally but just don't carry them anymore.
 
1%.

Five users at any given time, five-hundred in the collection and in unused condition.
 
I use all my knives, especially after I've downsized and own less of them now. The ones left are out and out users, with no safe queens remaining. If I don't use it, it gets sold off/given away.
