5 J knives + a few westerns and counting. Probably about 9 or 10 all said and done so far.

Probably around 15 - I keep them in their rolls and randomly pick one to use each week - it's fun to keep comparing one against another

8 knives and counting. 4 J knives. I imagine I will coalesce to about 10 with about six being J knives.
Great thread - just as I was beginning to wonder if I have an addiction problem...
43 in total at the moment...
30 KKF quality J-knives excluding beaters and mass produced ones such as Shun, Miyabi and Zwilling.

Legimately curious as to how you store all of these.
Darkhardt Edge Slim XL & Asphyx LG for the keepers and work rotation....knife boxes in a suitcase for the ones I'll probably sell.
Mixed long single bevels, Sakai, Toyama, Sanjo, Shig and the mixed work wrap...still need a couple of wraps for my Western keepers.

Who has more knives, you or JKI?
Haven't counted them all, but probably over $100k.

That feeling when the knife bags for your collection are worth more than most cooks whole kits.
Mostly just jealous though.
Yeah, but you true Kramer’s so that skews your numbers a bit...
Sure, no doubt. I also have dozens of other Mastersmith knives, dozens of Shigefusas, honyakis, etc.

i can’t even imagine what it must feel like to use a knife that cuts 30 times as well as a Kagekiyo
its gotta be made of like 40% carbon at hrc 106
FWIW, I paid significantly less as I bought new from Bob.

That is pretty awesome, I’m not bagging on you or Kramer, just riffing on how silly things can get with this stuff sometimes. Do you cut with it? Is it awesome? I absolutely would if I could afford it and I’m curious
Not the damascus one, but I used the straight steel all the time before I sold it in 2016. Loved that knife, I used it all the time for 4 years.
16 and 3 for selling...
Why does it always feel like "only a couple more"...?
