My wife thinks Iv collected to many knive, she thinks there isn't anyone that has as many as I do and that it's a weard obsession that no one els has. So I started laughing and told her that there is people out there that is way worse than me for collecting knives and to consider herself lucky as I don't think I have that many and that there are wives out there that have to put up with major knife collectors.
So she said prove it?
Guys help me out here could you post up a pic of your collecting so I can show her that I'm not that bad.. :)
Just so you know this is all I have

Tell her I have almost that many guns. And you'd be happy to switch to gun collecting. That should calm her down.

Your wife is right. She's your wife, of course she's right. She's always right.

But no, you haven't got anywhere near having too many knives. :D

Your 'collection' is small league mate. I stopped counting mine ages ago as I had run out of digits (hands and feet!) in the family (4 of us) to count them on!!

I have swmbo well trained now and she will tell yours that you can never have too many knives (drills or clamps)

besides I bet she has two of EVERY shoe she owns!!!!!! ;)

My argument is that she has to many horse rugs enough for 100 horse but she only has two horses.

Tell her you will cut down the knife numbers to the same as her horse rugs.

Besides, how bleedin expensive are two horses (the keeping of) compared to Moras and Hultafors?

I have about 40 knives of different sorts. Bushcraft , throwing, medieval daggers. Lock knives, bayonets etc. Plus 33 swords varying from Japanese, Chinese, Celtic and Viking replicas, medieval. mostly live blades and re-enactment. Also a collection of machetes. You definitely cannot have too many blades.
