Poll: How many SAK do you own?

Yep, I agree -- I think you're on solid ground here, @Ron Who!

Is anyone else here amazed to find that almost twenty percent of the participants in the poll own more than 600 SAKs (status August 2023)?

I just cannot get my head around the idea of owning that many SAKs. I must therefore assume that I have absolutely no idea about what being a collector is really about, about what goes on in a true collector's mind. 🤔

To any of the >600 out there who might read this: if any of you feels capable to explain the phenomenon, I for one would really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Simon

I’m confused - the poll at the top says 4.1% for more than 600 knives….

I am so sorry, I misread my own poll

Thought this was the number of total forum members who participated in the poll. But you are right, if course. Well, that put things into perspective (somewhat). I reckon the main takeaway here is that I am a twit

Simon,

don't want to twit you, but you're most propably no twit, considering your elaborate threads here

I'd rather suspect your glucose levels might be a bit low. Go and have yourself some lunch.

Ah! No worries, Simon - probably time for a restorative!

Many thanks for the comforting words, guys!

Maybe it's because I am on vacation at the moment, my brain is just too relaxed.

I don't have 600, but I can see how it would happen. You start with a knife you like, but you like others, so you buy more. Then there's Alox, and variations, and more and more...

I have mostly Vics, but God help me, I've become enamored of Wengers.

Technically I own 14, but since half of them are on the chopping block, I'm going to call it 7.
