Mike, only about 1/4 of what's in that picture was mine before my dad died. Ive loved knives since I was a little kid. I used to play with my dads knives when he'd let me. I started buying my own when I was 17. Getting them as gifts also. There are a couple of mine that are still packed away though. An older spec plus bayonet that was a gift some years ago from a friend is one that I really hope I find soon.
My dad passed away 5 years ago and left me his collection. Most of the older things are his, and like gold to me now sentimentally.
