I don't have a ball-and-chain preventing the growth of my collection (Fortunately lol). My ex-girlfriend sure didn't understand, back when I had less than 10 or so Spydies too.

My collection is growing relatively slowly. At the moment I own 9. But I lost a Pingo(that's why I don't like the wire clips.) and sold my Para2.

You made the right choice. :)

So the winner in this poll is more then 40 spyderco's owned. I love this place.
On my radar: 110V Military, Police 4 and some sweet Rex 45 Military action.

Newest Spydies: S90v Ti Military, Pacific Salt and a special Kiwi.

It makes me feel less guilty about all the Spydies I own, when I read about the next guy who owns twice as many! :)

Approaching the 300 mark! All of them precious, especially the ones I beat on mercilessly! ;)

I blame several folks on this site (ahem, Mr. Blonde and the Deacon for sure) and Sal for his hypno-voodoo sales skills for giving me zero will when I constantly arrive at a website or eBay's checkout screen... :p

Way more than I need...way fewer than I want. Such is the life of a Spyderco collector. ;)

Welp, I'm outnumbered, lol.

All of mine are in my signature, and two of those are lost. What I think it funny is the relatively low middle-ground; that is, it looks like most people have either fewer than 15 or more than 45.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

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

43 spydies plus a Byrd Hawkbill coming in the Mail -- I assume Byrds aren't included in this poll, right?

I agree it's interesting how there's so few people in my category and then suddenly tons of people with more. It's like we try to slow down at about 40-45, then think, oh well, what the heck, I might as well admit that I really want these things and grab all I can get!
K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod
Note to self: Less is more.

I dug this out of the archives, I don't keep good records of when, from who, and how much I paid, as I see a lot of you do...so I went back just to see where I was at back in January when I joined the forum.....I thinks ya'all are a bad influence....current count 121..two more in the mail, and 3 on pre-order.....SOMEBODY STOP ME !! Lol...not really.. I see no end in sight.

I managed to drop my number this week, I am actually quite impressed with myself! I think I have finally come out of the other end of the Spyder hole I fell into three years ago...

I was really surprised, when I find out that currently you have less than 5K spydies :eek:

Come on, I'm not that bad! GoldenSpydie and gbelleh both seem to have larger collections than me, not to mention the Deacon and others! I probably only have just a few more than you Roman. :D Plus it's partially your fault... I wouldn't have all those Native 5's if it weren't for your influence!
