Ok how or why did you start collecting knives. Did you just suddenly wake up one day and say "I must have knives", was there someone who introduced you to it, or something else. I think mine was my both my grandfathers one was a preacher and had traveled around quite a bit and bought alot of knives back most were flea market pieces but they always interested me. My other grandfather was a butcher and always had nice knives to look at and use.
