I'm guessing I must be in the upper bracket, my head started to hurt trying to list them all and keep count at the same time ?!

In defence your honour, only 3 I can think of aren't 'tools' I actualy use at some time of year or activity.

They are 1 - a diving knife (I barely even swim ?!) 2 - a sgian dhubh (sp?) 3 - a Fairbairn-Sykes. These are from younger days when I had the rather grand idea of collecting knives of as many different funtions and specific designs as poss'.

Now I can only justify what I'm realy going to use (amazing how much you can squeeze into that criteria though !?! )

 

[ANDYRAF]

A modest few, some display and some users.
3 axes different sizes.
7 pen knives
3 pocket knives
2 sheath knives
4 bayonets (sa80, slr, ak47, an Argentinian 1 on a Falklands plaque)
3 kukri's
3 machete types
1 bow saw
1 buck saw.
Plus a Katana I was given whose blade is made of putty.

[Mistwalker]

1 hatchet
1 axe
1 machete
and assortment of fixed blades
also a couple of folding blades I can't find pics of yet

Just got this one a few weeks ago...hoping the economy picks up so I can order another one or two from him as I am really liking this one

Had this larger bowie knife, but then sent it to a friend in Louisiana

 

[phaserrifle]

1 mora clipper
1 small fixed blade (made from an old one peice scalpel)
1 magnum blue mantis liner lock
1 small non-locking folder
1 leatherman core
1 swisscard quattro

so 6 in total. unless you count a snap blade craft knife, and a leatherman type multitool with its blade removed (to make it legaly acceptable)

I do use all of these, except the small fixed blade, which was a bit of an experiment, simply because I could.

 

[Melonfish]

5 proper blades, my penknife (swiss thingy) my mora, 2 russian bayonets (collectors) and one completely useless silly long bushknife thing that was given to me by my father in law. its got a wicked curved blade on it (and i'm wondering if its now even legal) a nasty point on it, serations on the top and the handle is woven paracord over the natural tang.
looks scary as hell i barely touch it tbh.

 

[Rob Tangtent]

hehe,
3 axes
2 lock knifes
1 mora clipper
1 handmade puuko -ish style knife
1 knife me and grandpa made
3 saks - one is a classc so i dont know wether that counts
1 penknife my dad gave me
so 12
but if you count all of my grandads old chisels - millions!

 

[Jaysurfer]

Are we including Swords? After all they are technically very big knives!!!
I have 5 Axes
35 swords
15 knives - majority of which are old or i never use, some have been passed down through the family other are antiques i have collected.

But the real answer would be NOT ENOUGH!
Never enough
they're mine
my own
my precious'

Maybe that should be the poll question. I actually had to look. Still not sure I found all, and I remember having some that I couldn't find. Voted for the 11-20 range, but probably higher. Went through a phase about folders with wooden scales a few years ago and bought nearly everything I saw or could afford. Now after a couple of moves and a divorce couldn't account for all of them.

[Claudiasboris]

Took me a while to think of them all and I may have missed some, but I got to 50+.
Various Leathermans, a Gerber multi-tool, SAK EDC, cheap Leatherman copies, various American bowies (Gerber, S&W, etc), various American tantos (Cold Steel, CRKT, Boller Plus, etc), Kukhri, machette, various folders of different types, 3 Ikea Moras and more that I probably can't remember.

Basically not enough.

[Deerhunter]

I have, according to my Mrs, too many........ But as I have tried to explain, there are different knives for different jobs..... well thats my excuse anyway.

 

[rapidboy]

I have no idea how many i have now, added another couple of axe's this week.

and i had 2 knives arrive today , 4 expected tomorrow, (all cheap but not nasty - 4 frosts, Opinel and a Victorinox).

 

[JohnL]

Here we have, from left to right,
Spear and jackson axe rehandled by myself,
Elwell hatchet,
BSI Kukri,
Ka-bar extra heavey bowie,
Spec plus Airforce survival knife,
& underneath a small puko & a beaver boot/diving knife(which I use a a canoe safety knife.

& here are the folders.
An old sheffied knife which I think may have been designed with carpenters in mind,
A colt M4K,
A smith and wesson extreme ops,
Second row, a victorinox waiter knife, a couple of canoe saftey knives, a world war 2 army jack knife, & a colection of opinels.

They all get used.

 

[plcreel]

The scale did not go high enough for me. I clicked 41-100 but I have more. I've never counted, but I imagine I have 200+. I have been collecting a long time, but none are just for looks. I will use any one of them sometime.

John, I can imagine you whittling away on the first axe handle.....after 15 cans of lager.

 

[Tye Possum]

I now own 12... I think. Two brandless folders which suck, 1 Winchester folder (I'm aware it's not made by them), 2 Victorinox spartans, 1 Victorinox farmer, 1 crappy fixed blade that's probably seen better days, 1 Mora clipper, 1 Buck vanguard, 1 Kellam wolverine, 1 Coghlan's "camp axe" (they sell cheap, crappy camping gear), and 1 Gransfors wildlife hatchet. Out of those I use the Victorinox farmer and 1 spartan occasionally, and the Mora clipper. I sometimes use the "camp axe" for splitting but it's not too good and I have yet to use my Kellam wolverine or wildlife hatchet but I will.

Oh and if we're counting saws then I have a laplander folding saw but I just got it so haven't used it.
