My count is at 197. Even I can't believe it until I took inventory. No company ever took me so deep into knife collecting yet there doesn't seem an end to it as there is always some Spydie on my wish list. BTW, all are plain edge except for a combo Ladybug and combo SS Native with the web laser engraving on the handle.

I only have 11, but I tend to be selective about what I get. I will only buy knives that I'm sure I will use in my EDC rotation. Also I have only been collecting for a little less than a year. I'm sure other people will post here that have far more Spydies than you or me.

Delica Wave VG-10
Endura: 1 VG-10, 1 ZDP-189
Byrd Cara Cara w/G10 scales
Byrd Crossbill
Native S30V FRN scales
Mini Manix S30V
Volpe N690Co
Military: 1 S30V, 1 BG-42
Tasman Salt H-1

All are plain edge with the exception of the Endura in VG-10 (CE) and the Tasman Salt (SE).

Two more will be added by the end of the week: Tenacious, Millie in S90V, as soon as they come into my favorite store. :D

The problem i have.,with the more Spydies i own,i start thinking which ones are going to get more attention and others very little,because i like using all my Spydies,so there are some strict rotation on these for edc.

Not counting Byrds I'm at around 107 or so. Joe

The Deacon surely is one of the top dedicated collectors. However, there are many madmen here with easily double, triple, quadruple what the holy Deacon has in his possesion..... c'mon guys own up...we know who you are ;)

I have around 65 or so. Australian Customs currently is holding on to a few to stop me making 70. And I have another 1 or 2 dozen planned for the next few months.

Counting the BG-42 Military that should arrive late this week, I'm at 23. Before October of 07, I only had 3. :D Like some of you, I only buy knives that I think I will use, so for the most part, I don't see my collection growing by leaps and bounds any time soon. I am, however, looking forward to the FFG FG Endura/Delica, Superhawk and S90V Millie.
I prefer to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
I LOVE MY MILLIES

I thought you only had around six, Dan. ;)
That's what some people have heard, anyway. :D


I, also am one of those who dislikes getting Spydies that I'm not going to use, so my collection isn't huge (plus there's that annoying "money" problem). Right now it's at 12 (including my kitchen knives), and I have 4 coming in soon.

Complete Caly3 family (PE, SE, CF)
UKPK
SE D4
SE Pacific Salt
PE Salt1
SE Tasman Salt
Swick
Yin
Yang
K09 Paring

On their way:
PE Native
PE Mini-Manix
K05 Utility
and another one that I don't want to spill the beans on until I get it. :D ;)

I only have five (counting Byrd's) at the moment, with plans to double that within this year:
Current:
Native II PE
ZDP Delica 4 PE
ZDP Calypso JR
Green Lum Chinese Folder PE
G-10 Robin CE
This year:
G-10 Caly III (not sure of edge)
G-10 Rookie (hopefully)
Black Lum Chinese Folder
G-10 FG FFG Delica 4
My business is coming out of the slow season, so hopefully the collection will increase soon :)
After enlightenment, the laundry.

Manixworld you wouldn't happen to be a spy for my wife would you?

I have 32 spydies, mostly flat ground blades. Somewhat meager as far as members here go. However, I am proud to say I have every Calypso variant with the exception of the the large serrated Calypso and serrated Caly 3 (prefer plain edged). I have 2 large plain edge micartas so I guess that makes up for it. :D

add 2 forgot about the 2 mules I just got.
