Guinness records just established
a category for the world’s largest knife collection. They decided it takes at least 2100 unique
knives to define a large collection. So
now you know. If someone asks you if you
have a large collection the answer is mostly likely “no.”
The current record holder is Luis
Bernardo Mercado (Fremont, CA.) who comes in at 2175. Congratulations, Luis!
These knives represent 6
continents, 29 countries and 400 different brands and custom makers and 50
years of collecting.
The process of documenting the
size of your collection isn’t trivial.
Perhaps that’s a new category for Guinness: most difficult
documentation. Of course as soon as you
win this one, it’s likely the documentation of your documentation would cancel
out your win.
Luis started collecting at five,
so it may be too late for some of us to attempt to claim that title for ourself,
but he’s confident the title is only transitory as he’s the first to claim it.
