WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR KNIFE COLLECTION ARE SAFE QUEENS ?

[jjg6319]

More than I would like to admit....

 

[CHNeal]

0% which is also the number of hammers and screwdrivers I own but won’t use.

 

[Legendary_Jarl]

Probably 90%. Most are fixed blade daggers which I couldn't carry outside and it ain't worth using them for anything inside the house so I just have them for display.

 

[BillZee]

Zero........I use all my knives.
Some knives like my Ontario RAT1 are more for work. My Benchmade Bugout with titanium scales for general carry.

ALL OF THEM, BECAUSE SAFETY FIRST, QUEEN

 

[Monofletch]

The only “safe queens” I have are the sentimental knives family has given me. But I think those are different.

 

[PocketKnifeJimmy]

Well, about 99.5% of my knives are not exactly "Safe Queens", because that would mean that they are stashed away somewhere where they are not seen.
Instead, mine are all spread throughout my domain as part of my home decor. Most are behind glass, and I keep my domain's air quality under control, so they are "Queens", just not the safe kept type

 

[Choppaman]

As a collector of 40 + years of master bladesmith and exotic fixed knives and high end slip joints and folders, etc I have quite a high percentage of safe queens. But I admit I use 100% of my users!! That probably consists of a dozen slipjoints, dozen autos/folders and 15 or so fixed blades. I’d say most are safe queens when comparing users to non users.

 

[KenHash]

21 %. Down from maybe 95% when I use to seriously collect.

 

[Jonah02]

Now it’s like 95% of my knives are safe queens. I go after the rare and unique ones now.

 

[John_B]

0% if my woman gets ahold of them. She only sees screwdrivers and prybars!
