Why does that not surprise me....

Because its common knowledge ?seriously i thought everyone knew she has been collecting from a very young age

impressive since she was so young at the time and I suspect she has learnt more since then, also have a look at some of the pics of the very high end knives she collects, truly gobsmacking, one or two of those if sold would buy you a very nice London house and leave change if you were so inclined ......... personally i would rather have the blades
