Knives - about 70 - give or take....(that's a low estimate).

15 would be pocket knives of which 2 I use quite a bit. Of the others, I'd guess that I use 20 or so 'occasionally' and 10 regularly.

Hmmmm... 20 or so fixed blade knives (I'm just getting started) of which I use 4 or 5 regularly. I have about the same number of pocket knives and use 2 or 3 regularly. I use them all one at a time, though. I carry my 2 favorite lockback knives at all times.

Knives, probably about 20-25. No pocket knives (unless you count a sheathed fixed blade, carried around in my pocket).

I know, I know... it's not enough...

Default Re: woodcarvers??? how many knives do you own

Lets just say, I still have knives from my teenage years. Most are retired and the little bride would like for me to get rid of them.

I carry two pocket knives with me, One to loan out when someone ask if I have one they can use. It is sharp, but,,,,,,,,,,,

If you ask my little bride on fix bladed knives. Way to many and guess what, I will buy more.
Never enough knives just like Guns!!!!

Well, I got a bunch. Probably over 600. Hard to say really. I stopped counting knives years ago. Used to write for a knife magazine and did a lot of field testing of outdoor knives. Been collecting for almost 50 years.
