<p>I just posted a new discussion of a knife & weapon genre that I dabble in - <a href="http://iknifecollector.com/group/beginnercollectors/forum/topics/collecting-ethnographic-aboriginal-knives" target="_self">Ethnographic & Aboriginal</a> pieces. Take a read if this sounds interesting to you.</p>

<p>Ha! Even though sometimes we should! I have decided to make such pieces my friend and over state them. After all, they were given to me with the best of love and intentions....so why not give them their own display case....and defend it's quality when others take pot shots at it (even if you agree on the inside!). </p>
<p>I will have to admit though that it is sometimes hard to say to the folks...."Thank you! This is the best knife ever!"</p>

<p>I collect across several genres, and one of them sort of created itself...the "Got it from Well-Meaning Family" genre.</p>
<p>These are pieces I would never purchase myself, but others either wanted me to have them, or they thought they were sincerely contributing to my collection - and I will always love them for that.</p>

<p>What about a Zombie Apocalypse collection?? Or does that fall under the "Z" collection?</p>
