A King 1000, and a Spyderco Fine and Ultra Fine. Seems to be sufficient, so far.

3-DMT coarse, extra fine, extra extra fine
Does my norten flattening stone count?
Apart Barber hone
3 Coticules
1 BBW
C12K (until there is a verdict, I am not changing)
Maruichi Nakayama
9 razor hones, 1 more if you count the flattening stone, and 1 on the way from Olivia
3 knife sharpening hones- these really shouldn't count should they? I mean they aren't related to my razors. I just bought them so I could hone the kitchen knives (and SWMBO would see some benefit from my honing skills).

I have:
DMT D8C (325 grit)
DMT D6EF (600/1200 dual grit in the 6" version)
Norton 4k/8k that was cut in half to make it narrow
Vintage coticule/BBW glued combo 6 1/4" x 1 1/4"
8" x 2" Coticule
6" x 1 1/2" Coticule
A little Coticule/BBW glued combination slurry stone
6" x 1 1/4" Yellow/Green Celebrated Water Razor Hone (essentially an escher)
5" x 1" Dark Blue Celebrated Water Razor Hone in Box
And my newest addition......
Nakayama Maruichi!
I think I have a pretty sound honing arsenal, wouldn't you say?

I think 9 (dmtc, dmte, naniwa 1-5-8-12, coticule, escher, nakayama) I would consider for regular use, or close to that. And probably 9 more that I should try out for a bit and move to somebody else who would use them more.

Upon taking inventory I have so many that I am embarrassed to tell the amount. Suffice to say probably more than I need.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
