*2 Manbugs...want to add more
*5 Locking Kiwis
*2 Gray FRN Caly Jrs.
*2 Burgandy FRN Caly Jrs.
*2 Micarta Caly Jrs.

Like most here, I have multiples of other models--but they aren't in my EDC rotation...I ALWAYS have AT LEAST one of the listed models in my pocket or clipped IWB...good thread!

Zero for me. I will be buying sprints of my favorite models though; Manix 2, Para 2, Military and Native. I would love to double up on some of the sprints but my budget simply does not permit me that luxury.

Besides the various Sprint/variants of Manix 2's, PM 2's, and Millies, I have a couple of Centofante Memories (my own memory failed me and I forgot I had one one preorder, bought one from a different place when I first found them in stock :) ), 2 CF/M390 Military's, 2 Green PM 2's, 2 EDCF GITD Manix 2's, 3 EDCF GITD Native 5's, and quite a few duplicate Mules - I order a 2nd one to get the total order above the free-shipping limit from SFO, so it's like getting the 2nd one cheaper :) . But if I ever get around to putting scales on them all, they won't be identical anymore :) . Oh yeah, 2 SuperLeaf's as well, just *had* to get a spare when they were put on the discontinued list.

I collect and use some so hard question I have one tenacious in use and four more in the collection .
Although I have the bug range too in use and collection does this count ?.
If £ wasn't an issue I'd be using my Valloton and have a spare but at $280 its a collection piece.

So far, the only knife Ive purchased specifically as a spare was a superblue caly 3.5. Other duplicates were because of damage or loss. If they weren't regular production, Id buy spares for the sage 1 & gayle bradley though.

I've gifted a few over the years, but I still have a couple "back up" burgundy Micarta Jesters. If you're counting variants, I have five versions of the Stretch which get carried at least occasionally. As for Kiwis, at last count there were 70 unique ones in my EDC rotation, plus a few duplicates, and a few more potential candidates for scale replacment. :o

There are a few for me: Delica, Stretch, Ladybug, Chinese Folder. Then again, with different handle colors and steels I get to have both back-ups and a little variation in my collection.

The Delica.
- Fully serrated ZDP-189.
- FFG and brown scales.

And I got the Delica with the Emerson wave on my radar.

The Caly3 really lights my fire as an EDC.

3 - regular
2 - carbon fiber
1 - Damascus carbon fiber

Kind of went crazy, huh, just love that design. And they all say SAL on the blade.....

I have ended up now with backups or variants on all the models I have. It is crazy, but without exception I would have been so annoyed to lose anyone of them and found they were out of production!!

Started with a second DKPK, and went on from there. Mainly it is just the one backup, but I have 3 old Paras, 5 Delicas, 4 Caly3s and 5 UKPK variants. All sad but true, I am afraid :lol:

The other models are Para2, Stretch CF, DKPK, Urban (no, hang on, there's 3 of them), Dragonfly, Manbug, Ladybug, Military. I think that's it.

Ah! I only have 1 Enuff .... which is pleasantly ironic. :)

You know, I really wish I could afford more knives to fuel my addiction but i cant. I pretty much rely on Holidays and spontaneous gifts from my friends. I only have 2 Spydies so far, and I hope to grow my Spydie collection soon.
