How do you guys display your knives? Or do you?

Some guys proudly display their "no to use" knives in fancy display cases, some set them in desk draws, and some have them in their pockets:D!

Just curious as to how you guys show your knives.

Suggestions for knife displays are welcome. Let's just get the ball rolling!;)

No display of knives or guns for me. They are the first to go if your place gets broken in. A good friend of mine had a coffee table made with a hinged top for displaying his knives, it does look great.
 
I can't display 'em, I'm too busy usin' 'em.

The nicer customs have their own boxes but not for display, just protection.

I don’t really keep any knives on display man . The ones I don’t use actually are stored in a hidden room in my house…
 
I just buy em and stick em in a Plano tackle box. I only carry a leatherman at work and the rest I just buy because I like them.
 
I dont display them. They are locked away. A Police friend of mine advised me to keep them locked up for legal reasons and to only display them when needed and when i'm present. Treat them like firearms he said, would you want them getting into the wrong hands?
 
A friend of mine had a wall stripped down in his den, then installed three custom made floor-to-ceiling steel and lexan display cases between every other stud. The backs and sides of the cases were made out of very heavy steel. The fronts were about half-inch thick lexan type material with hinges like the Cannon brand safes. Each clear door had several locks like vending machines (the tubular keys). A determined thief could get through them (assuming he disabled the alarm on the house and avoided being shot by my friend) but your typical smash-and-grab thief would likely be defeated.

Unless I had something like that setup, my good stuff will stay on me or in a gun safe when I'm not home.

I'm glad you mentioned the WW2 knives...I've actually been looking for a good informational website for WW2 knives and watches, and place you can recommend?

I'd really like to find some WW2 pieces here soon, been trying to find a worth while information source for a while.
 
In my pockets, or my workbench. All but one of my knives are users anyway.

I have an IKEA box, with six drawers, that I keep most of mine in. The large fixed blades go in a regular plastic storage bin, and all get "hidden in plain sight" when I travel. I only show them to friends & people I know I can trust, and that's it.

Years ago I bought a neat typeset drawer, the kind with about 60 spaces that printers used to have. Makes an excellent shadow box, but a sheriff friend of mine advised against it - he said exactly what shike stated earlier: easy stuff that's accessible & mobile is the first to go in a break-in.

thx - cpr
 
Got any information on that Ikea box? We are going there this weekend:D!
