Somebody who is involved in book collecting once stated that, to be a collector, one must have theme for their collection. A random selection of items is an accumulation, according to this person's definition. I suppose I have some of both. I collect Case Eisenhowers - a specific model and I collect Spyderco knives in general - a specific brand. I even have a collection of stag handled traditional pocket knives - a specific material. I guess these would be themes.
But I also have a drawerful of knives that I bought simply because I like them. An accumulation, I guess.
Are you a knife collector or an accumulator or both? Or how do you feel about the definitions of this book collector?
