3 dozen might be conservative for me

I lost a very old Japanese razor. It still bothers me well over 20 years later. I believe that is it. I have approaching 300 knives.

A friend of mine and I were waking back from fishing, when we were freshman in high school and he found a rusted up Klein Tools hooked knife in a newly seeded yard. He didn't want it and gave it to me. I still have it. It was the most useful knife I had in my teens. I stripped bark, shaped sticks and cut down trees up to 6" in diameter with it. That steel took a very sharp edge. It has a clear red plastic handle, with a big metal ring sticking out of the base. I've seen identical ones on EBay.

I have never lost a knife, but have left several laying where I last used them. Side of creeks, stuck in a log......
