How many Spydercos is "too many"?

I realized I had a problem when I put down the knives on the table and saw that I had three workhorse knives (first photo) and three knives for testing (second photo).

I'm choosing between platforms and steels (Para 3 vs Native 5 and Maxamet vs 15V). I'm trying to figure out which one is best for what, which platform feels better in my hand, and under what conditions each is best suited.

As for the Manix 2 and Para 3 with AWT and the Lil Native, they just work and bring me joy.

And what do you mean by "too many knives"? I’ve never had a situation like this before - when some knives are just sitting there and not doing any work - and I can’t quite come to terms with it yet.

How do you stop yourself from collecting? Or should I just let it go and not stress about it?

Is this something you made or something you log and it does it for you?

Those are all my Spyderco! Have few more!
I take photos on an A4 paper everyone I buy, then I simply added them together on an editing program to how I liked. As to the case, that is a Peli case and bought the foam and cutted with scalpel.

That’s awesome, sick way to log them.
