I recently began my collection (began indulging my obsession?) by ordering a matched set of damascus daggers. They are gestating nicely, and now I'm trying to set up the nursery in anticipation of their arrival. What I'd like to have is some feedback from all the experts out there. What I know is that:
1. I like pretty, pointy things.
2. Many pretty, pointy things must be cared for in a very particular way in order for them to stay both pretty and pointy.
I intend to keep these knives at hand, so to speak. They will be works of art when they are done (Audra Draper's work is amazingly beautiful and must not be hidden away in a drawer, Massachusetts idiocy be damned) and I will want to have a way to carry them in a sheath or scabbard that can be tied or otherwise secured shut, as well as a way to display them in the house. Maybe a case or such that could be mounted the wall? Also, I'd love advice as to the care of these beauties over time...
Thanks in advance!
