Collecting is easy. If it's different than the one you have, then you need it. If it's the same as one you have, then hmmm, better have a spare, maybe mount the pair crossed on the walls.
SERIOUSLY
Get a villager, and then get an HI blem. The blem will be up to collector standards except for one thing or another. It will awe you. The villager won't be as pretty. Which means you can actually use it with little or no guilt after the first couple of times.
AND
spend some time reading the HI forum archives. I had time on my hands back then and I was able to read the entire archives on Knifeforums AND Bladeforums in a week in mid-March. Humor, Culture, Comparative religion, History, Geography, Politics, Military History, Tactics, the Fighting Arts, Gurkhas, Language... a whole completely different world you never dreamed could exist, plus knives, knifemaking, proper care and usage, selection, regional differences, on and on and on and on...
Uncle Bill could teach an entire Masters program in "Foreign Relations at the Grassroots Level". He knows an incredible amount, much learned the hard way. This is what school shoulda oughta been. Fun!
