welcome to the addiction ! i have over 1000 knives and not slowing down and getting into higher end knives , storage can be an issue ( thank you spyderco knife holders) i also collect copper knives and swords as well as fixed blade knives , ceramic , and anything with a weird lock , i need to take a picture but i even have the bigger knives attached to my walls in my man cave , and love both cheap ( affordable ) knives , all started with buck 110 and victorinox knives , and yes even a few mtechs lol , but now its midtechs and unique knives like the smock or ikuchi , Caribbean , bugouts , 0456 , 0920 , pm2s pm3s war admiral , gerber gator premium both fixed and folding , kershaws , Ganzo, custom buck knives , Gill Hibbon , spydiechef , techno 2 , etc.. loves knives also i collected watches but ran out of space , i always make sure ( even with so many knives) they can be stored or displayed properly and not end up in a cardboard box , and keep track of them all , now i have started customizing my knives with better screws , clips , scales etc .. good luck and enjoy the ride !!.and thanks for sharing

FlericThanks Fleric! I started with Flashlights and moved on to knives. Trying to keep it conservative (emphasis on the word "trying") and not go crazy (limited space taken up by the flashlights right now). Don't have nearly the storage space that you probably enjoy, nor a 'man cave'. Nearing the point where I'm going to force myself to decide that if I want to add a new one I'll have to sell an existing one. I figure that, as time goes along, I can upgrade the collection without increasing the size - by too much. I know, 'best laid plans'.

FlericHoly Moly! I don't want your stuff - I want your INCOME. 🤣 That must have been quite a career to have accumulated all of this over the years. I'm sorry for your health issues. I can definitely sympathize - have chronic spine pain and sciatica due to deteriorating vertebrae. But at least I'm still able to work with meds. Hang in there man. 👍🏼 On second thought - could you adopt me? 😉

glennacI was paid well 40$ a picture , plus 55$ an hour , oh how I miss it . Even had a. 350z convertible , but it was to low and hurt my back , went through about 4 more cars till I ended up with a very nice Ram 1500 which I modded , as I needed something that could carry an electric chair lift . Still looks new after 6 years . Only has 32k miles and is run on full synthetic oil and mid grade gas. But alias I enjoy none of it due to the high lvls of pain that never goes away , i have degenerative disc disease, and a birth defect that means your bones on your spine to keep it in place , then the surgery failure, motorcycle accident that is going to cost me a real leg ( lol) the liver disease and fibromyalgia and diabetes type 2 and all the terrible side effects from the very strongest pain meds that still barely do anything, basically trapped in a prison that is my body . But I look for fun where I can find it . Hence the collecting etc.
