<p>Alas...the knives that usually appeal to me come with price tags that totally leave me out of the 1000+ knives club. Lol. I am at about 100+ and the only way I am gonna bust 1000 is if I win a very serious lottery! A guy can dream though!.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am very happy with how my collection is coming along though...however slowly. And I still seem to get a perverse enjoyment out of watching people's eyes bug out when they see our living room. ;-)</p>

<p>I too was just an accumulator until I joined iKC. Now I consider myself a collector although still pretty much a rookie. Now I focus on three brands, Case,Colonial, and Rough Rider. I also collect two patterns, fish knives and Case Mini Blackhorns. I also collect knives with a Christian theme.</p>
<p>I like our motto here, Collect what you like and like what you collect!</p>

I agree with the above statements. Out of mine, probably half is just really junk, but I liked them when I bought them. I say buy what you like and enjoy them.
