Is there a command to count inodes with in a directory?

I know I can see total inode usage with:
df -i

And I know I can find total number of files with:
find ./ |wc -l

But how can I find inodes? As files over 8kb (if using the default partitioning of 1 node over 2 4kb blocks) would take up more than 1 inode.

That doesn't sound right to me. Inode -> file should be a one to one (or one to many, in the case of hard links) relationship.

I just tested this, you are correct.
