Off the top of my head I have 13, if I include my Bug, Honey Bee, and Grasshoppers. I have my eye on at least 3 more this year, but it might end up being more.

Probably need to make an exception for Q's as well, I quit at about 36, but there must be at least 70 versions of them. :)

As for the rest, very true. I have to look at tang markings or turn on a bright light to tell a BRG FRN/ZDP-189 Stretch from a black FRN/VG-10 one.

Oh, and my collection is still "Para Military free". :p
These are one of my favourites :)
And Paul never fails to impress and inspire me.
My Kiwis are getting more and more pocket time as I grow older/ more mature. My Kopas definitely, and my Kiwis starting to get more 'me time'.

I'm at around 250 at the moment, or so says my spreadsheet.
I have had a couple of major culling sessions in the past years and probably got rid of around 150-200 of the ones I didn't think I'd use. I regret selling some, but that has enabled me to 'collect' more Persians, Kopas, and Kiwis :D

I have 53 total with #54 on the way. Most duplicates: 5 Caly 3s and 4 Calypso Jrs.
Once #54 gets here, Native will be tied with Calypso Jr @4, although only 3 of them are Native 5s; one is an older model.

I love that other folks have spreadsheets to keep track of their collections (and their want lists), too! :D

My wife is pretty anti-collectionistic, so I really, really need to justify my choices for their ecological niches.

I've had more in the past, and at the peak it was... 4 Spydies, with 2 of them on the selling block. There's still a slot open for a more formal/office carry and I have some pretty set ideas about it that Spyderco doesn't have an option for at the moment.

Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

3. I bought my first Spydie two years ago. So far, I've bought twice as many for family (6) as I have for myself (3).

...but with this year's offerings, there's really no way that holds. :D

So far, two. But I just started this past Saturday. ;)

Planning on picking up two more in the next couple of months to establish a group of "core players."

I will be a user rather than a collector so I don't see myself ever having more than 7 or 8. I'll will try to cover all my personal niches and then maybe a couple of versatile models that overlap and can go anywhere and perhaps a couple with different steels than are readily available so I can expand my knowledge and skill level.

Ok ... maybe more like 10-12 (I think).
Wishlist: Delica 4 FFG VG10, Manix 2 LW XHP, Military 204P and S110V, Para 3 Cruwear and S110V, Paramilitary 2 (all versions), SpydieChef LC200N, Caribbean PE and Sheepsfoot SE

Procured: Caly 3.5 VG10, Dragonfly 2 LW VG10, Manix 2 XL S30V, Native 5 LW S110V, Para 3 S30V, Paramilitary 2 S110V

I jumped on the Spyderco bandwagon about seven months ago. I now have seven - well six technically since the Dragonfly is EDC for my wife.

Dragonfly 2 - Black FRN - VG10
Tenacious - Black G10 - 8Cr13MoV
Delica 4 - Black FRN - VG10
Chaparral - Black CF - CTS XHP
Manix 2 LW - Black FRCP - BD1
Manix 2 LW - Brown FRCP - CTS XHP
Paramilitary 2 - Camo G10 - DLC CPM S30V

I need to really think about why I'm buying these - but I'm sure I'm not done yet.
PM2 Camo DLC S30V - Chaparral XHP - Delica 4 VG-10 -Manix 2 LW CTS BD1 - Manix 2 LW KC Exclusive XHP - Tenacious 8Cr13MoV - Dragonfly VG10 - PM3 Sprint Cruwear Light Gray G10 - K08 Santoku

More than I need (about 40), less than I want (that one there, and that one, and this one here).
