What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
About 78 percent folder wise, with around 57 Spyderco folders. Fixed blades it’s more like 20 percent and kitchen knives it’s around 30 percent.
Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
If I admitted that I had a dozen knives that were not Spydercos, then said maybe 95% of my knives are Spydercos, should I be worried?

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
I would say 75-80% are Spyderco.

Of all the Spydercos I own, 100% are Spydercos.

348/482 = 72%
Not counting 32 Spyderco's I pulled from the collection to sell soon.

It used to be about 70-80%, now it is more like 30% max.
Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
Used to be 90%, dropped to 60-ish % ever since they decided to use the same stupid choil on everything. Last Spyderco bought was the Watu, the only one I expect to buy this year is the Ayoob.
Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
I carry a Spyderco folder 99% of the time I carry a knife. About 90% of the folders I have bought are Spyderco. Fixed blades, maybe 15% are Spyderco. About 60% of the folders I own are Spydercos. A sizable portion of my accumulation was inherited from my father, who had a lot of Spyderco along with a bunch of other interesting stuff.

I just wanted to say how handsome and intelligent you are, YOU are the wind beneath the wings of this forum!aicolainen wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 8:47 amWhen I got sucked down into the wrist watch rabbit hole, one thing I learned rather quickly is that it’s perfectly OK to engage in creative accounting for enthusiast items.
For instance you can claim to have a 3- or 5 piece watch collection and simultaneously be transparent about owning a handful of G-shocks that aren’t counted.
Not sure how this translates to knives, but there’s obviously a similar mechanism.
I have a semi updated list of all my spyderco’s, and after some last minute editing, adding the ones I know from the top of my head wasn’t already in the list, my current number i 26.
3 are bought as dedicated giveaways, though when and who is still up in the air, so not sure how I count them :)
There’s no such list for my other brand knives, so I’ll guesstimate those to be in the 15-20 ballpark. Not counting Mora’s, kitchen knives etc.
Based on the above, my “creative accounting” percentage of Spyderco’s is approx. 60%

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
Only counting modern folders (I have a number of traditional slippies as well) puts me at about 40% Spyderco … the remainder are split between BM and a couple high end niche brands.
Lately, I’ve been rediscovering the value/ergo benefits of my Spydies and have a couple new additions inbound, so … ask me again in 6 months.

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
I don't keep detailed records, so these are guesstimates:
Folders: 90%.
Fixed Blades: 5%.
It's really hard to beat Spyderco when it comes to Clipits, and I carry a Clipit almost every day. There are a few other compelling offerings, but no one else has so many models that appeal to me.
When it comes to Fixed Blades, there are other things I like better, for the most part.

I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Hate to tell you, but that's just a start. I have over 200 Swiss Army knives in my accumulation.

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
somewhere between 90 and 95%. I'd have to whip out a quackulator or some long since dissipated basic high school math knowledge for a 100% accurate answer but that's currently too much work to not be getting paid for (lol). i have more Spydies then anyone else I kno personally tho. but that also goes for pocket knives in general...

Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
Welcome back BR! It's been a while.
Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
10% but without a doubt my favorite knife company. Flippers made some heavy inroads to the collection haha. I used to be a real Spyderco fanatic. Still love ‘em but I’ve broadened my horizons.
Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
77.7%. I expect that percentage to continue to rise.
Re: What percentage of your knives are spyderco?
Probably like 75%, but I almost always carry a spyderco. Soon to have a Case added to the carry lineup to test out their Magnacut Marilla since I don’t usually carry my Mule around.
