Even I have no idea how many SAK's I really own. At least 4 digits worth. Many are duplicates ready to be sold or traded. However most of my collection is Victorinox Classics.

But I don't collect them at all.

Rough estimate as I got a bit lazy and didn't account for everything I have in my lowest largest drawer.

Swiss Army Knives
Wenger: 113
Victorinox: 339

Rough estimate: 452

I started collecting summer of 99 for SAKs.

I accidently started collecting in Jan 2008, and I already have seriously too many; of which around 42 are Wengers.

I'm almost done!  :D  What a relief!   Really!

If someone would sell me a 91mm Alox Dutch Airforce knife, I would be much much closer.

Had one SAK once. ~~O8>X  A rat stole it when I left it on the bench one evening.  :ahhh
Don't even recall what it was, had a bunch of miniature tools on it and a magnifier.

About 50 total......probably more.  I haven't counted yet due to the gun room (where they will be on display) not ready yet.

I have had 2 Champion's lost/stolen, 1 small Tinker lost, and 1 BRAND SPANKING NEW Traveller Lite stolen recently by the movers in Korea.  They were so "nice", they left behind the box.......  I ordered a replacement, and it is on backorder "sigh".....

Victorinox: about 100. No Wengers. Lost: 2x Huntsman (including my very first SAK ever) and a Midnite Manager, along with all my keys ;)

I started collecting a couple of years ago  :climber:

I started 10 months ago and now I have about 150 Victorinox, 4 Wengers and 1 Leatherman. As you can see, there's still space for more in those two boxes ...  :) I just bought the batteries for the wenger spotlight, works nice.  :salute:

No Wengers, and 14 or 15 SAKs (not sure if I should count the Swisscard or not...)

Not really a collection yet, but on the other side, too much for being not a collection  :think:  :ahhh

Only started collecting SAK's recently.  Couple of months now.  I have 5 Vics and one Wenger.  I bought the Wenger back in 1996, has "official world scout knife" imprinted on the blade.  Still waiting for my Swisstool.    :tu:

I believe I am somewhere in the neighborhood of about 400 SAKs, with the vast majority being Victorinox, although I do have a fair number of Wengers.  The NewRanger series has really caught my attention over the last couple of years and I've got most of them.

I had a lot of 58mm models, but gave many of them away to actual 58mm collectors who could appreciate them more than I could.  That took a large chunk out of my collection, number wise, so I really have no idea how many I really have.  I really should take stock at some point....
