knives and how many

[Tye Possum]

I think I have nine knives right now but in a couple days I'll be ordering two more. I have: kellam wolverine, Buck vanguard, dollar store swiss army type of knife(sucks of course), small lockback folder (unknown brand), two Victorinox spartans (one engraved with my name), Wenger swiss army knife with camoflauged scales (unknown model), a Winchester liner lock folder, and an old belt knife that might be home made but if it's not it must have been made by the worst knife company in the world or seen tons of use and no care. Soon I'll be ordering a Mora clipper and a Victorinox farmer. Only a few of those are actually used and the rest are just cheap knives I got when I was younger.

SAK ripoff
No name multitool x2

I actually thought it was a few less... still, I have a few more waiting to be bought

Mike - I think I've said so before but I love that sheep shear knife! I might see if I can find one kicking around when I'm on Skye, a lot of people have moved to the electric ones or stopped keeping sheep but there are plenty of sheds full of old tools and I expect plenty of people happy to sell stuff for a few quid. When we moved into our crofthouse on Skye we got two axes, an axe head, several saws, a hammer, a post hammer, three Scythes (one kid sized, which became mine) and two sets of shears Just wished that we had taken some stuff with us when we left. Still remember quite vividly how delighted I was when I first went into the shed though!

8 flick knives
6 utillity knives
2 large bowie type knives
4 axes

ofc only my frosts(mora?) and gransfors camp axe ever leave the house.

 

[Tye Possum]

I've ordered my farmer and I forgot, I also ordered a crook knife! Can't wait to carve me a spoon. I'm also ordering an axe pretty soon along with my mora if that counts and I have a handle that has multiple gouges and stuff that go into it and one of those is a knife.

 

[traderran]

I am a collector so I don't even count anymore. Over 150 the last time
i counted them over 20 years ago.

 

[Air Pirate]

In front of me on the computer desk: Pocket utility razor, Shrade, SAK Farmer, Benchmade Griptilian, Gerber Gator, Leatherman Skeletool, Spiderco Endura 4, Cold Steel Pocket Bushman

In my pockets: Smitth & Wesson Special Tactical, Victorinox Super Tinker, Victorinox Classic (on key ring)

On the wooden chest next to the desk: Mora #1, Mora #2, Mora Craftsman, BHK Tiger Knapp Knife, BHK Small Tiger Knapp Knife

Then there's the Knife set of drawers in my "adventure locker" in the garage. I can't name all of those off the top of my head. My wife saw the poll and instantly said that I fell under the "needs help" catagory. I feel like I'm perfectly in control, I can stop any time I want, I just don't want to stop.

Just found my old reply about half way through.
I think I've just about doubled the count since then!

Hoodoo? Whats that medicine called you said I need?

[Melonfish]

So far:
Mora Clipper
Opinel no.7
drop point blank (needs scales)
Viccy Forrester
Viccy Hunstman
Draper swiss knife, actually quite reliable.
Bayonet 1 - (deact east german cold war pattern for ak74)
Bayonet 2 - (deact Russian cold war pattern for ak74)
Freaky scary knife given to me by father in law which i reckon is about as illegal as it gets and pretty soon is getting recycled or handed in!

the bayo's are from my airsofting days, part of the kit used whilst out and about in the field for shelter and general choppyness, they do not fit onto rifles so no danger of an idiot doing a bayo charge (which we never allowed anyways)

Dave, you need a new knife.

 

[Mrs_Ursus]

I have just 2 knives, a little Case Canoe knife that is *always* in my pocket and a Mora Clipper. Until very recently, I had something of a knife phobia (having had a bad experience a long time ago) so the fact that I'm happy to use these 2 is a bit of a miracle. I'm content with using my Mora to learn and hone some skills, but ultimately I think I'd like a custom.

 

[MartiniDave]

Hoodoo, I'm not sure about need, but I think I'll take your advice, when I see the right one!

[PeterHW]

Well I have a "collection" I guess....did'nt intend to perhaps acquire as many....they are mainly custom knives or high end manufacturers such as Busse....I don't really want to try counting them or adding up how much they are worth....it will only either make me anxious...or have me telling myself it is a part of my "pension plan".....it's around 50 ish...a lot more than I need ....

 

[Nonsuch]

Here we go : 4 SAKs and two Moras as well. I suppose axes don't really fit in the picture but here they are anyway. Plus a Shing slippy on order.

I have 2 SAK, a Mora clipper and a Gerber multitool. I also have a monsterous Rambo style knife someone gave me. Only reason I still have it is because it was a gift. I should have 2 other small fixed blade knives I've had since I was a kid but they seem to have gone AWOL!

 

[Old Pa]

Hello, my name's Old Pa and I'm a lifelong blade-oholic. Big and little, fixed and folding, old and new. SAKs, Randalls, Gerbers, Moras, Beckers, Pumas, Bark River, Boker, Benchmade, Spyderco, Ek, Kershaw, CRKT and more. Hunting, fishing, camping, tactical, whittling, bushcraft, axes, machetes, bayonets, scandis and otherwise. And no closet queens; they all get used. What's more, I'm sure I need all of 'em. I'm not asking for help. I just had to tell somebody. Some Randalls:

 

[_scorpio_]

this lot:


plus probably 20 others in fishing boxes, survival packs etc. and just lost in boxes and trouser pockets. from this picture taken November i have since lost 2.
