My collection:
And with the flash
1 - Frost spoon knife with sheath (traded to Whittler Kev' today)
2 - Frost Whittling knife.
3 - Mora Number 1 knife with the Sheath made by Requin for the "Sheath in the Hat" thingy in the leather working forum at the British Blades forum.
4 - Nazi Dagger circa 1935 (Yup, it's the real deal.)
5 - WW2 Commado dagger. (Again, genuine.)
6 - My Dad's old bowie knife. Solingen Monarch. Cut my thumb open on this when I was 7 years old.
7 - My trusty Bowie knife. Had this since 1981 and love it
8 - Martindale Golock with the webbing sheath not shown
9 - Leatherman Supertool with homemade pouch and diamond sharpener with a flourescent G10 tag made by Cockroach in a recent "Craft in the hat" exchange at British Blades forum.
10 - A Fleam, a sort of old scapel used by French farmers on cattle.
11 - My Grandad's old penknife I've carried in my wallet since 1977 it's only 4mm thick.
12 - My customised Siamese twins Opinel number 9's. (Should it be called an Opinel No.18 now?)
13 - Newest knife bought from Paul Holtom at British Blades.
14 - Stanley carpet layers knife.
15 - A Witch's Athema (oak) I made a load of these for some Witchy friends back in the UK years ago.
16 - An old sheath knife from the late 70's (not a stainless steel blade)
17 - A bowie knife I tried making when I was young and stupid thought big knives were macho and which was never finished. Made from 8mm gauge plate. Needs heat treating after final filing is completed ... one day. We had a lot of Tyranosaurus Rex's about where I lived and I figured with that beasty I could bag myself one for the barbie.
18 - Old Victorinox kitchen utility knife.
Should I seek counseling or am I only borderline knife obsessive?
I have a thing for old tools but that's another story.

Cool, now all you need is the time.
Dont i Know it ................Sold out house this week move out the week after the Wilderness gathering need to find a new garage
however have 100 ish ready for HT
i doubt it but you could live of Soup sliced bread and pre sliced / grated cheese its possible i guess to not ever ned to cut anything the supermarkets seem to be for ever bringing out new levels of pre preped food
A few:
An old Leatherman Micra
An old Victorinox "Swiss Tool"
A homemade boat- and camping knife
A knife for eating (as in "food utensil")
A kitchen knife with a sheath for those outings where I feel it would be nicer to have a dedicated one for kitchen duty (i.e. picnics with someone special).
A gentlemans folder for everyday things (it's an Ohta friction folder)
Most used knifes are my friction folder and my homemade one. The victorinox is solely used for its pliers, and the leatherman Micra is brought because it has a scissor, pincers and a nail file.
The others, well they do see use from time to time, but rarely.
That makes it to six, which sounds like a lot, but I think it's well within being reasonable.
Wouldn't that be like asking to consider paddling/rowing without a boat?
