Your 2016 Knife Haul

Can always throw out a total number and your top 10, 20, 30... :)

I wouldn't be surprised if it would be 40-50... But I've only kept 5.
 
Second the point by Charlie Mike, so I'll list the knives I got that didn't (or won't) leave:
Spyderco Caly 3 Super Blue
Mule Team Super Blue
Military 52100 CF
Paramilitary M390
Dyad Jr Micarta
Victorinox Hiker (or Woodsman, who knows)
 









3 of those knives were gifted to me. The last one is arriving tomorrow.

I had just gotten into nicer knives at the end of 2015 with a ZT 0450. Then started 2016 off with something a little crazy and have picked up a couple of the "standards." Haha
ferrum forge ntac with sm100
Customizer mini grip
And just ordered a benchmade 940 with 20cv

Maybe I'll get a para2 next unless I get sucked into another ffkw design or misc other maker.

Will need to back off in 2017.
 
I added about a dozen or so new blades in 2016. I was on a Condor binge for a while. Added one Dozier fixed blade obtained at Blade. My two favorite knives I purchased this year are probably the GEC #14 Boys Knife (two blade) and a Bass Pro Vic Tinker. That Tinker just makes me smile when I hold it. My true needs are rather simple. But that doesn't stop me form getting large bowies and so forth.
 
It was a slow year for me as far as purchases. The ZT0095 and Benchmade Crooked River just sang to me as soon as I saw them, so those were must haves. Got a new Karambit. I ordered a Barrage from the Benchmade custom shop to match a white dial watch (Ball) that I picked up. Then, towards the end of the year, I saw a new Brous release on YouTube that I knew would match my Seamaster so perfectly that I just couldn't pass it up. Also, I grabbed some new kitchen knives in retribution for the wife putting my Victorinox kitchen set through the dishwasher.








 
Only 3 this year.

Fallkniven PXL
Benchmade 580 frankenstein (be wharned g10 scales)
CS Code 4

I'm in a state downsizing my knives. The Fallkniven and CS + 18 other knives will be sold in 2017 to fund another AR15 build + handgun + accessories purchase.
