Yes. Dont have the kind of knives you do though.

I wish you all the best in your endeavour,But as Rustum rightly said there are many erstwhileroyal collections and we donot know what the numbers stand at, If at all you are so keen on an enrty you should try to enter the books under category "NonRoyal/Not Inherited".knives have been a passion all along i have a collection of 400+ knives and i still collect I was once toying with your idea but decided In my own interest that it does not need to be so,So i enjoy my egded beauties myself and with some other serious knife lovers.Majority of my collection are folders(Old British,Military,Indian folders,Multitools),Knives from different tribes from india(North-East) and abroad, Knives from the Great Wars etc.
Be regular at flea markets,Visit the north-east,Kutch&kerala if you can it will definetly enhance your collection,I will add one knife to your colletionTake care and keep em oiled
Thanks for your suggestions / kind words ! I think the record books are still a way too far.... but still the passion continues....

Nice to know about your collection too... maybe one day i can have a peep in !
