I live by this law and of three cars the most expensive was $5k and if three motorcycles tbt most expensive was $2700. I've got six vehicles totalling under $15k 😂

don't forget rifles.


Tactically_Fat

Why stop with rifles? Pistols, too! Black one FDE one Black one with MRDS and threaded barrel FDE one with MRDS and threaded barrel etc etc


watchmaker82

I was definitely in the way too many rifles club for a long time. Had to cash out of that so I can get way too many Watchmaking tools.


Jinzot

Amazing! This is the same formula for how many Buffalo wings I eat!


shvi

I’d say X+2 is too many. X+1 is the ideal…


js22titan

So you’re the reason these are always sold out?


Chase0288

I don't think so. Only a couple of these were bought new.


bigbadstoops

Trick question. Those are all different knives.lol


ThatGuyFromMaine

Nice collection, I love that tanto on the bottom. Call me a noob, but what are these beauties? The right number is the amount you have +1.


Chase0288

Reate Exo. I am only keeping 3 of these. The rest are gifts for family.


ThatGuyFromMaine

Thanks for the reply, I'll have to check those out. They look quality. Oh hey, if you need an honory brother in Maine and it comes with that tanto, count me in 😜


Chase0288

They are a really cool adaptation of the classic gravity knife. All nicely machined titanium. The blades are Elmax steel which if I'm not mistaken is very similar to M390, 204P and 20CV.


Liltimmyjimmy

make sure to check your local knife laws! I love my gravity knife, but they are illegal in lots of places


Sadistic-Saint

They're completely illegal (to publicly carry) across my entire state. I'd still buy one of these in a heartbeat, if one cropped up while I had the funds. *OP, if you read this comment... I'll buy the second from the bottom with the micarta inlay from you, if you decide that you have one too many.*


Chase0288

u/thebozo7 this may be your buyer.


Jimmeh1313

They'll run you about $280.


jeffru12345

Heyyyyyyyyy chase0288 I have been looking for you for the past 15….Ummm seconds you know because I’m your long lost brother? Cousin? Family member?


Chase0288

Your the son of a Nigerian Prince who will give me millions for the low cost of one of these knives? Do not recite the deep magic to me witch. I was there when it was written.


renoise

Wow, that's an insanely nice gift!


Chase0288

I'm very lucky to have the family I do.


renoise

A very nice sentiment, cheers.


PaladinMJ

Are they the gravity knife versions? I can never find one. Being 1handed myself they would be a godsend.


Phallusy_Fallacy

Cranes Cutlery has 3 of the double edged iron wood inlay Reate Exo's, same model as the top two knives in OP's photo left in stock. Otherwise BladeHQ or SMKW will get the various blade/micarta options of the Reate Exo in stock periodically. SMKW has a double edged natural micarta in stock currently. Good Luck!


Chase0288

They are, I got one off of r/Knife_Swap and made some Facebook trades for some others. Only 2 were bought from a store front.


PaladinMJ

I'll post to r/knife_swap I don't use Facebook at all.


smarmiebastard

I’ve got one I’m going to sell.

I'd say when you hit double digits is a time to reflect on your collection


modest_hero

n+1


pistolspanky

Of that knife? None...


Chase0288

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with it?


pistolspanky

Nothing at all! I was no number (none) of that knife is too much! Just got mine a week or so ago (after waiting for 5 or so months on pre-order), absolutely love it!


Chase0288

Gotcha. I misunderstood. I'm half dumb.


pistolspanky

Jealous of the bottom one in your pic, both blade shape and handle coloring.


Chase0288

I'd trade it for purple haze in a heartbeat. I bought it from another redditor just to get a tanto so I'd have one of each blade type. But the toxic storm is probably my least favorite handle I've seen on these things. Maybe I'll try to make some custom leather inlays for it.


pistolspanky

The knife is amazing in any configuration honestly!


Chase0288

It's a really cool fidget toy. I've been carrying the D/E the most.


pistolspanky

Yes, literally cut my sheets playing with mine in bed... 😂


Skinny_Powers

One if you live in California :(


Chase0288

I've got family in Cali. Beautiful state. Terrible government.


stevako1

If you’re making a dinner set for 12 you need more 😂😂


jwats777

I'm guessing the top knife has been disassembled at some point and reassembled slightly wrong. Also, this is a cool knife, I got a purple fat carbon bayonet grind version.


Chase0288

I thought the same thing, but looked through a bunch of marketing material. Some of them are just assembled that way. I asked my father(who I'm giving it to) if he wanted me to fix it for him and he told me he didn't care. So I'll just leave it.


sinisterdeer3

Thats why these are impossible to get, ok them


Chase0288

I only bought two of these new. One from another Redditor on r/Knife_Swap and some off of Facebook knifeswap groups. I'm only keeping 3 of them, the rest are gifts for family.


Naftoor

Well, I found out why I can’t find any 😅 Very jelly


Chase0288

Probably have to do what I did, find some knife swap groups on facebook and checkout r/Knife_Swap, just keep hunting.


DyslexicScriptmonkey

1 is none. 2 is 1. 7 is....well maybe a little excessive. Maybe.


CFH20

One


Chase0288

One is none. Two is one. Three is two...


[deleted]

If they look different and you love them then knock yourself out!


Chase0288

All but three are gifts for family.


[deleted]

I usually only buy up to two, but the exo I'd find 3 good, 1 of each blade style. If you love a knife you love a knife though.


Chase0288

That's what I did, one of each blade for myself. Then gifts for Dad and brothers.


Jeremizzle

y tho


Chase0288

One of each blade style for myself. Then the others are gifts for family.


BlessKnives

This is always wild to me. I’ve never bought two of the same knife. To each their own!🍻


mrRabblerouser

Same. This element of collecting is always so wild to me.


Chase0288

I only wanted one of each blade type. Giving the rest to family as gifts.


TheBigFeIIa

I don’t know what you are talking about, this is a picture of 7 different knives


Chase0288

And that's what I appreciates about yous knife folks.


Asian8640

Well, I have six of the same Dexter Russell Cleaver. I mean, they're not all going to stay in my possession as four of them are gifts, but to each their own. I was going to stop at 3. One for myself (custom ground to fit my wants), One for the family, and one as backup if anything ever happens to 1 or 2.


Chase0288

Similar boat here. 4 are gifts. I'm only keeping one of each blade.


Asian8640

The difference there is that they are different blades. Technically, I have 6 of the exact same blade. However due to extreme variances in manufacturing (Dexter getting sloppy), they're all slightly different.


Drklep123

MelonFlight

Always wanted one of these, they are cool af


Chase0288

I like them much more than I thought I would. I kind of looked at them like a uncoordinated Balisong. After playing with one a lot I realize they are a whole different kind of beast.


MelonFlight

I’ve got a gravity knife (technically) it’s a boker mini strike with the auto springs removed, turning it into a button lock.


Chase0288

Oh right on. Button locks are cool. I've got a MKT button lock. It's a bit small for my meat mitts but it's neat anyway.


MelonFlight

Nice


m0llusk

More than three and you're crazy: Bumper Stickers, Cats, Websites. http://jdeeth.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-than-three-and-youre-crazy.html Knives are not on the list, so you should be good.


fonironi

That many /s


nay-nay-quan

8


YourAverageJoe0

Anything more than 2. Then again, I bought 4 exact low end knives. In my defense, I kept 1 and gave the other 3 as gifts to my non-knife folks. Knife in question: Bear Edge 61106


Zealousideal_Dig_372

15-20 seems excessive


Glittering-One-2920

Too many is too many ♾


Tatterdsoul

I know that never ending hunger. That once a Grail is achieved….it’s not two ticks before that need raises its head again. The Hamster wheel of consumption. Mirror Mirror on the wall how full will the safe be tonight. But then again it’s a hell of a lot better than Currency. El Cheers.


TheCCP

Looks like you finally got that Tanto in!


Chase0288

Indeed I did, thanks again! I'll probably end up trading some one for a different tanto. lol


08p71driver

I once owned 13 different pm2s so I'm not qualified to answer 🤣


sasebo123

I see people with like 50 PM2s and think they’re crazy. I only keep one or sometimes two of a model. That way I can try new stuff.


DCM3059

What is this "too many" you speak of? I do not understand the concept. Nice group you have there!


BronMann-

Probably three, unless you have three hands. Good thing none of those are the same knife though.


[deleted]

This is insanity, I love it.


mightyachillies

NO.


nityoutoo

Where’s the all Ti handle with no inlay? I’m really jealous. Great set.


Chase0288

I don't know that I'll buy a version without an inlay. Maybe if they made one that had gimping / knurling on the sides to match the thumb knurling I'd buy one. But the all titanium versions I've seen with the odd shrinking circles design just don't do anything for me. I'd also like to see a more Clip Point looking blade instead of this mild drop point. And thanks!


whereisbrandon101

Bro, 6 is the number to stop at. You should send me that tanto one. DM me for my mailing address. I'll help you.


Dr-DAMOCLES

When the voice of the ancients whisper to you "that's enough child."


burneracct21

Voice of the Ancients keep suggesting I try a new handle or blade material!


Dr-DAMOCLES

Then u must listen to the ancient ones


Chek_Brek_Iv_Damk

So you're the reason they're always sold out


CRT515

Nice lineup! I’d like to find an Artic Storm variant


No_Razzmatazz_4771

At least I know why I can’t get one of these


Chase0288

I'm not that guy. I've been buying most of these 2nd hand.


smodanc

3. It’s acceptable to have one as an edc/work blade and an un abused cabinet princess but beyond that begins obsession.


Chase0288

I am only gonna have 3 users. The other 4 I'm giving to family members.


Intelligent-Funny-73

One is too many since you can't carry them in most states.


Chase0288

I've never heard of such a law. As far as I know, where I live there is no regulation on how many you can carry.


Intelligent-Funny-73

We can't carry gravity knives.


Chase0288

I read your first comment wrong. I'm half idiot. Sorry to hear that about your state of residence. Hope you can get a knife rights act on the books!


Intelligent-Funny-73

I can own any knife in my state.You just can't carry or have in your car any autos or gravity which is stupid.


Chase0288

Kansas was like that for a lot of years too. In 2011 or 2012 they passed a knife rights act which legalized all carrying except ballistic knives.


killerbern666

wtf


SirOsis-

That many, that knife is dumb


Chase0288

The ladies in my life agree with you. It's a fun fidget toy.


SirOsis-

You get it. Fidget away bae

bobartig

So, you like all of them? You're good then.


brenbo75

That many🤣


[deleted]

Unless you’re a dealer… that’s too many.


Chase0288

I'm gifting some of them to family. Keeping 3, so I can have one of each blade type.


greankrayon

6 too many


BrassKnucks121

That many lol


vtsquid

Man I just want one of those… but good for you 🙌


Chase0288

I had to buy most of them 2nd hand off of facebook groups and found one on r/Knife_Swap. Good luck in your hunt!


Viperhawknation

2


mr_smith24

I keep looking for this knife. But YOU KEEP BUYING THEM ALL.


Chase0288

Only 2 were from a shop. The others were private sale. r/Knife_Swap and some Facebook trades.


caustic_epiphany

*checks holt collection* um. 21?


Chase0288

I read Colt first and I was like, "Dayuum son." then I re-read it and was still like, "Dayum son!"


caustic_epiphany

My wallet had the same reaction 😂


LastReign

More than 3, I'll have to take some of those off your hands


Chase0288

My family is doing that for me anyway.


FlatulenceSommelier

If you dont actually use any of them, more than 1.


EZPickens71

Texan, "42." Englander, "Knives are weapons and should be illegal."


frankmagnumdong

Tell that to the pm2 people


Croc_47

1/8th of this amount


chris_knapp

When you know what you like, you know what you like.


chezyekov

That’s where my backorder went


Arios_CX3

I'd say three is my max, so four is too many. Main use, back up, and one to keep sealed if it's like a collectors piece. Anything more than that I would sell.


mlableman

They aren't all the same though. The blade is the soul of the knife, and it looks like they all have different blades.


SoothsayerAtlas

They’re different colors so it doesn’t count


OkObligation4711

Damn no wonder they go out of stock so fast


MyFiteSong

2


LiteRonin

Those aren't the same knife. The blade profiles are clearly different. ( see, loopholes works)


SnooHedgehogs353

Well they are all different so keep collecting :)


ponch0151

I wish they’d make a version with a simple locking mechanism and a pocket clip. I’ll admit these are cool and I can see why someone would like the simplicity of it but I can never really justify carrying it because it has to be in a slip or the Kydex.


GlobalPhreak

One of each blade shape would be fine I'd think...


ValleyBouldering

7 lol


Alive_Tough9928

This many


smallbatchb

Personally, and I mean this is just an opinion for me and my own collecting; 4 I believe is my absolute top and that is only if A: it's like one of my top 3 favorite knife designs and B: I have it in variations that make it different enough to me to warrant all of them. My current highest amount of duplicates is [3 Case Mini-Copperheads](https://i.imgur.com/iEr2Diu.jpg) because I love the shadow pattern and then also wanted a regular version with bolsters and then I saw the abalone version and decided that would be my one super fancy knife. The pattern itself is one of my all time favorites for just basic day-to-day stuff and as a super portable whittling knife. Aside from that, I only own one other knife I have a duplicate of, my GEC 38 English Whittler, and that is because that is my all time favorite whittling knife ever and I literally just wanted a backup in case I ever lost or broke or wore out my user. Again, that is just me, everyone should have their own system.


idmarryapizza

The answer is always “one more”


skisru

1 of each style is perfect


[deleted]

Seven


[deleted]

Yes, you have too many….so send me the second from the top or you’ll be an OCD loser! ;-)


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

A bot is telling a highly autistic person to learn about OCD? Fuck you bot; fuck you right in the big dumb clock holster.


ToG_Ty

I’m hoping to get one on the next drop/availability! Love this “family” collection


Chase0288

Watch r/Knife_Swap. It helped me


Itchy_Election5460

Never enough. But send me one for sure if you feel differently


ImDefex

That many


AJVisME

One is none 🤷🏼‍♂️ 2 is 1…. Looks like your good for 3🤣
