Was wandering where all your traditionals hang out? Do you have them on display, or are they locked away in a safe of closet? I like to have mine out so I can check them out often!

Do you display them, or keep them hidden?

If their not in my pocket they're in one of 4 boxes, I rotate what I carry a lot, part of getting up in the morning is picking what knives I'll carry based on the needs of the day so I don't have to display them as I'm constantly pulling didn't ones out before I leave the bedroom.

Me too. The only knives I have 'on display' are my kitchen knives, which are on a magnetic strip on my kitchen wall.

If they're not in my pocket then they're in my gun safe. Nothing on display.

All mine get displayed as part of my home's decor. They're out for my, and my visitor's, visual pleasure... But, protected by glass to prevent from dust and roaming curious hands 
And with these couple Rough Riders just gifted to me, I find myself again in need of a new display... they need a home as well
I can't get over how much I like these two RR knives... I mean, well made, and their look is very unique

Mine reside in a drawer when not being carried.

I keep mine in here on a side table by the front door. I've accumulated a few more since this was taken. Little tray is getting all filled up.

I'm working on getting a box or case of some sort. Right now my 4 knives are hanging out on a shelf next to a basket where I keep my medication.

Hidden.
Well, not really hidden per se, just not out in plain sight. Some are in my desk drawer, others are stored in their boxes or tubes inside some shelf organizers up on a shelf.
In my desk drawer they are laid out in a "layer cake" with a layer of soft cloth, a layer of knives, more cloth, then more knives. Keeps them from getting jostled around but it's a hassle if I want a knife that's not in the top two layers.
I really need a better system.

Mine are all over my "man cave". Some on shelves, some in drawers and some just randomly left about. I have one designated edc drawer also. Hundreds of knives. They are all in this room except whatever comes out of my pocket at the end of the day and goes on the bedroom dresser until morning.
My room is my wife's worst nightmare come to life ...... We have an agreement, which she still endeavors to alter, that I have my room, the rest of the house is hers.
As an example, here's my edc drawer;

There's a sweet spot where they stop noticing new ones. It was the same with my mom seeing me with tattoos. The first five or so were brow beaten but after that she ceased to notice.

I'm kind of like Gary, except instead of having one room, I get one section of the china cabinet!
Besides my wooden display cases and padded knife carriers, I have knives in every room of the house. They are in drawers and organizers, on desks and shelves. I'm never more than 10 feet away from a knife, not counting I always have one on me, even around the house.
