I'm unwilling to calculate because I may be forced to admit I have a problem.

$630, single most expensive was the Sage 5 CF at $145. Five knives and a medium benchstone; at $54 for the benchstone I'm averaging $115 per knife.

Honestly that seems pretty reasonable to me for K390, 20CV, S30V, and XHP built in Japan and Taiwan. Though none were at MAP; all either from the 2023 discontinued list or dealer exclusive.

A number of caveats are in order:

By my rough estimation, I spent enough last year for Sal to upgrade that old corporate jet to the latest Gulfstream.

My spending has come to a screeching halt due to insane prices and I have accumulated 60+ knives in 5 years!...it has eclipsed my gun collection by a lot!!......I'm good with knives for now and will likely never buy again. It was fun while it lasted!.....

A sizeable chunk of my departmental budget went on knives and sharpening kit this year, plus my own personal purchases pushes it to about $2200.

I tend to buy multiple items in each order as shipping from the USA to SG is not cheap. That’s my official reason and I’m sticking to it 😂

I didn’t total my purchases.

Between Native Chiefs, Delicas, UKPks, and mules I estimated $600-$799.

So far 2024, $0.00; but lots of great stuff on the horizon.

Crum … forgot about the Enuff 2 K390 and the Murray Carter Petty …. Revised to $1K+ :thinking

Absolutely hilarious, the disparity between the number of responses to this thread/poll, vs. the absolutely quite similar thread that just queries the number of knives. Fun games, and I'll participate in both.

Ikuchi

15V Shaman

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, probably a mule and a galley V too. Over 1k easy.

I'm thinking hard here, but my M4 Tenacious might be the only thing I actually bought from Spyderco last year, so I'm at about $130.

I went hard on the 2022 Seconds + Black Friday MAP sales, which kind of put me in a hole for knife purchases.

I'm spending less on knives these days, and they're more expensive. I'll buy a Curcarta Millie 2 as soon as it drops, but that might be my only Spyderco purchase this year.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

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