Thats what I thought too, last month while I was shelling out $2100 for my 15 yr old sons new trumpet , I was actually thinking " dayum ! I could buy some nice blades with this $$$ "

;)

Unsure of the total # in my collection , I havent bought a new one in forever , these have been in the safe forever , I just forgot I had them ( that's the way that story is told to the wife :D)
 
6 for the moment. I always buy and sell, I do not collect, I only use.
Case Sod jr yellow
Spyderco UKPN orange
Fallkniven U2
Dozier folding hunter
Old Wave
Squirt C2
 
I'm planning on getting more into customs for the most part. I'm well under 10 since I'm trying to save for the next knife. I might even sell one of my last 2 production knives for the extra cash. There are a couple of Spydercos that I plan on getting though...
 
i have only about three really good knives in all i have about ten crappy china and taiwan models from when i was more into looks than functionality
 
Only have 3 or 4.

BM 551SBKOD
Kershaw Skyline
SOG Twitch II
BM Pika - if I can figure out where I had it last.

There are some that I would like to purchase, but with another baby on the way, home improvement chores and overall increase in cost of living, our disposable income seems to have disappeared.
 
I have 7 folders and 1 fixed blade right now + 4 cheap throwing knives right now, but I've only got into knives like 5months ago.
 
Not counting kitchen knives, I have around 60 or so knives. I generally buy a new knife every 1 - 3 months. I've traded, sold and given away quite a few knives, so 60 is a bit low for me. Realistically, I could probably get by with a collection of 10 or so knives. However, every time that I have consolidated my collection I end up regretting it.
 
My little Case Ctockmen,my Kershaw rainbow Chive,and my buck Whittaker.so only three,I'm drooling over anything Spyderco right now though lol.
 
Ka-bar US Army
CRKT Tighe Tac
CRKT Mo' Skeeter
Byrd Cara Cara
Old Case my Grandpa gave me

Boker Trance and Subcom in the mail.

Also some crap not worth mentioning.
 
I've got quite a few more than ten. Probably 50 or 60. All factory knives but hopefully some customs someday. Lets see if I can remember all the different brands.
Aitor
Benchmade
Bianchi
Buck
Case
Cold Steel
Explorer-Guttman
Gerber
KaBar
Kershaw
Leatherman
Smith and Wesson
SOG
Timberline
Victorinox
I'm sure there are other brands I forgot. I really like old vintage Bucks,Gerbers and such from the 80's and 90's.
 
hmmmm

Vic Explorer
Vic Cybertool 34
Vic Solo Alox
Gerber Paraframe II
S&W SWAT
Kershaw Leek
Kershaw Needs Work
Kershaw Military Boot Knife (fixed)
Opinel No. 8
Roku lockback with "Davi's" logo (piece of crap)


so that's 10. Just barely...

I suppose that doesn't count the CRKT M16-03Z i traded for the fixed Kershaw...
 
I only have five
2 Mission MPS Ti pe
2 Mission MPF 1 Ti pe
1 Mission MPF Ti pe

I'd love to have more but at roughly 400 a pop its slow going, as I have guns and ammo to buy as well.

Come on guys, you should all enjoy such a stylish, elegant, classic EDC knife in your collection !!!

Despair not, I have one.

I'm hovering at around ten decent knives, depending on how one counts. All of them are users, I'm not much of a collector.

-Spyderco Manix, full size, foliage green version. My latest and greatest. Much rejoicing when I got this one.

-Benchmade 710D2. My ongoing sharpening project and cause of much toil and trouble. Blood, sweat and tears may yet follow.

-Buck 110, plain-Jane 420 HC version. Very nice, no wonder it's a classic. I wanted one for years until I finally got it.

-Laguiole knife in Sandvik 12C27, snakewood scales. Beautiful shape and sharpens well, a nice "suit pocket knife". I wouldn't chop branches with it but who would?

-Victorinox Soldier and Cadet. I like the alox handled models for their robustness and they are, well, great. These are what I have in a pocket about always and everywhere.

-Large Tommi puukko ("Moose Tommi") from knifesmith Marko Tihula. The sharpest knife I've ever had, probably the most beautiful as well in a less-is-more way. After this, factory-made puukkos didn't feel like much.

-Camillus Pilot Survival Knife. I got one just before Camillus went out of business, again one of those knives I had wanted for years. Wife says it's the ugliest knife she's ever seen but I like it.

-Some odd souvenir sailors sheath knife. Came dull as a butter knife, but I'm getting some kind of edge on it. Testing ground for sharpening angles and equipment. Might work as picnic knife when I'm done with it.

-Generic all-round-use puukko. This is for a bit of ancient folklore: I have it mounted on a bracket above the bedroom door, this way no evil spectre or accident can enter there, they can't defy a steel blade. I'm not actually very superstitious but I think it's a nice idea and a way of respecting old beliefs a bit.

Then there's a couple of Leatherman multi-tools around too, but they aren't much use to me as knives. Besides, the knife tips are broken on both, I have been a careless boy it seems..

Sorry for the long post, btw. I didn't mean to make such a gear review of it when I started. :o
 
leatherman core
magnum blue mantis (3.5 inch folder)
swiss card quatro
cheapy folder bought in france (country of origin unknown)
mora clipper
homemade kneck knife (made out of dissection scalple)

that makes 6 (I also have a chinese leatherman clone, but thats blade snapped off, so it doesn't count)
dont need any more (although it would be nice to get a small folder for my PSK)
