A collection can be an investment!

Cutlery is second nature to him: you'll never find him without at least one knife on his person. Even in a bathing suit. Matthias knows just about every product on the site (8,000 refs, after all...) and is living proof that when you love it, you don't count... His personal collection comprises over 300 pieces (although he'll never admit it to his wife).

He loves: unearthing collectors' items from prestigious vintage brands such as Al Mar, SOG, Gerber Legendary Blades, Puma, Hattori and Randall (not exhaustive, of course). He also likes to advise collectors, helping them in their choice of collections and possible investments.

He doesn't like: Knives whose design gets in the way. A knife should be uncluttered: "less is more"!

What he doesn't like: His favorite knife is fluorescent pink!

His top 5: We hesitated for a long time to ask him this question (because he finds it hard to answer succinctly). But we did it for you:

 1. Cold Steel Imperial Tanto

 2. Sergey Shidlovskiy Custom Damascus

 3. Al Mar Fatguard 4008 Prototype

 4. Randall Made Knives Model 1-7 Westmoreland Replica

 5. SOG Specialties - 1986 - S2 Trident - Japan
