<p>Thanks, Lars</p>
<p>Not much point in collecting and not sharing. That doesn't only apply to knives, but to anything, and yes you are right, value is secondary. People collect what they like regardless of value (I differentiate between collectors and investors, although the two could go hand in hand but certainly don't have to). and that could be anything from matchbooks to Barbie Dolls to paintings</p>

<p>I know an old Motor Mechanic who collects a particular brand of spanners because that brand was his favourite before he retired and he's got enough spanners to open up a car assembly production line. Doesn't mean they are worth a lot, but they give him pleasure.</p>

<p>Hello Vinnie - G'day!</p>
<p>I think you are in the right place....and for all the right reasons too! (the least of which you already identified). I have enjoyed following your Puma updates...learned a lot. One of the great reasons I like hanging out here is because all the comments are authentic (sincere). By that I mean when I post something about one of my knives, and we all know it's a worthless piece but I like it anyway - the comments always have something good to say....at the very…</p>
<p>Hello Vinnie - G'day!</p>
<p>I think you are in the right place....and for all the right reasons too! (the least of which you already identified). I have enjoyed following your Puma updates...learned a lot. One of the great reasons I like hanging out here is because all the comments are authentic (sincere).

<p>If not already, one way to catalog your fantastic Puma collection is to create a dedicated photo album of your Puma's. Instead of just adding them in there, include the details - Name/model, year, all the cool spec's, etc. Bring them to life!</p>
<p>The advantage of doing that is that they will all be in one place, they won't be lost in layers of discussion threads, and they can be easily linked down to the photo in future discussions - regardless of the group. </p>
<p>Sure - it takes some time to pull that all together, but I find it sort of maintains the relationship with the knife...as it were.</p>
<p>Anyway - I just wanted to affirm your reasons for being here. And your Puma's...they rock!</p>
