About 78 percent folder wise, with around 57 Spyderco folders. Fixed blades it’s more like 20 percent and kitchen knives it’s around 30 percent.

If I admitted that I had a dozen knives that were not Spydercos, then said maybe 95% of my knives are Spydercos, should I be worried?

I would say 75-80% are Spyderco.

Of all the Spydercos I own, 100% are Spydercos. 😉

Used to be 90%, dropped to 60-ish % ever since they decided to use the same stupid choil on everything. Last Spyderco bought was the Watu, the only one I expect to buy this year is the Ayoob.

I carry a Spyderco folder 99% of the time I carry a knife. About 90% of the folders I have bought are Spyderco. Fixed blades, maybe 15% are Spyderco. About 60% of the folders I own are Spydercos. A sizable portion of my accumulation was inherited from my father, who had a lot of Spyderco along with a bunch of other interesting stuff.

When I got sucked down into the wrist watch rabbit hole, one thing I learned rather quickly is that it’s perfectly OK to engage in creative accounting for enthusiast items.
For instance you can claim to have a 3- or 5 piece watch collection and simultaneously be transparent about owning a handful of G-shocks that aren’t counted.

Not sure how this translates to knives, but there’s obviously a similar mechanism.
I have a semi updated list of all my spyderco’s, and after some last minute editing, adding the ones I know from the top of my head wasn’t already in the list, my current number i 26.
3 are bought as dedicated giveaways, though when and who is still up in the air, so not sure how I count them :)

There’s no such list for my other brand knives, so I’ll guesstimate those to be in the 15-20 ballpark. Not counting Mora’s, kitchen knives etc.

Based on the above, my “creative accounting” percentage of Spyderco’s is approx. 60%

Only counting modern folders (I have a number of traditional slippies as well) puts me at about 40% Spyderco … the remainder are split between BM and a couple high end niche brands.
Lately, I’ve been rediscovering the value/ergo benefits of my Spydies and have a couple new additions inbound, so … ask me again in 6 months.

I don't keep detailed records, so these are guesstimates:

Folders: 90%.
Fixed Blades: 5%.

It's really hard to beat Spyderco when it comes to Clipits, and I carry a Clipit almost every day. There are a few other compelling offerings, but no one else has so many models that appeal to me.

When it comes to Fixed Blades, there are other things I like better, for the most part.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Hate to tell you, but that's just a start. I have over 200 Swiss Army knives in my accumulation.

somewhere between 90 and 95%. I'd have to whip out a quackulator or some long since dissipated basic high school math knowledge for a 100% accurate answer but that's currently too much work to not be getting paid for (lol). i have more Spydies then anyone else I kno personally tho. but that also goes for pocket knives in general...

10% but without a doubt my favorite knife company. Flippers made some heavy inroads to the collection haha. I used to be a real Spyderco fanatic. Still love ‘em but I’ve broadened my horizons.

Probably like 75%, but I almost always carry a spyderco. Soon to have a Case added to the carry lineup to test out their Magnacut Marilla since I don’t usually carry my Mule around.
